Where to stay in Xàbia

Staying in Xàbia Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the town's main squares, and it's the most convenient base if you want to explore on foot. For something closer to the sea, El Arenal is a popular beachside area with plenty of accommodation options and good transport links into the centre.

Barket i Mercat Municipal Market is the town's second indoor market, operating 15 stalls on a weekly basis. Its focus is narrower than the main hall, concentrating on fish and seafood alongside prepared foods, making it a good stop if you want something ready to eat or a fresh catch to take back to your accommodation.
