Where to stay in El Arenal
El Arenal is a compact beach resort, so staying close to the seafront puts you within easy reach of everything. The Playa de Palma strip is your best base, with plenty of hotels right on the sand and a short walk to the local market action. The Hotel Riu Concordia is a reliable option if you want comfort and a central location.
If you prefer something a little quieter, look at staying toward the S'Arenal centre, where you can avoid the loudest parts of the resort while still getting around easily on foot or by bus.

Street markets in El Arenal
The El Arenal Street Market runs every Thursday from 8am to 2pm around Plaza Mayor, with stalls spread across the square and into the surrounding streets. The 25 vendors focus on clothing, footwear and jewellery rather than fresh produce, so this is a good stop for picking up holiday accessories or casual wear. Most stalls accept cash and contactless payments, and the market is wheelchair accessible throughout. For official details on market days in the municipality, the Llucmajor council website lists all authorised markets.
