Shopping in Mallorca

6646 businesses found

Shopping on Mallorca splits in two: chain-store and big-box retail (Eroski, Mercadona, Lidl, Aldi, IKEA in Palma) for daily needs, plus a strong independent boutique culture — concentrated in the old town of Palma, Pollença, Sóller and Santanyí. Furnishing a house, refreshing a wardrobe or running the weekly grocery shop offers far more choice than the mainland cliché of island shopping suggests.

The group covers seven sub-categories: supermarket and food (discount, organic, local mercados), furniture and home (furniture stores, designer furniture, mass-market), hardware and DIY (Bauhaus, Bricomart, local ferreterías), garden centre and plants (vivero, florists, planting service), electronics and appliances (MediaMarkt, local electronics shops, repair), fashion and clothing (clothing shops, boutiques, shoes, accessories) and opticians (glasses, contact lenses, eye tests).

Island-specific: Sundays are closing days on Mallorca (with few exceptions like farm shops and petrol-station mini-markets). Supermarket hours typically 9:00–21:30, boutiques and fashion 10:00–14:00 plus 17:00–20:30 (continuous hours only in central Palma). Food markets (Mercado de Olivar, Mercat de Santa Catalina, weekly farmers markets) run from early morning until 14:00. VAT (IVA) on food is reduced to 4–10%, on other goods 21%. For bigger purchases (furniture, electronics) compare mainland prices with shipping — good forwarders deliver a Madrid–Mallorca furniture load in 5–8 working days for 200–500 EUR.

The sub-categories are linked below. For local providers, filter by region — many small boutiques exist only in one town and surface fastest through the listing location data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which shopping areas does Retail & Shopping cover?
Seven sub-categories: supermarket and food, furniture and home, hardware and DIY, garden centre and plants, electronics and appliances, fashion and clothing, and opticians. This covers daily needs (supermarket; pharmacy is a separate top category), furnishing (furniture, hardware, garden) and lifestyle shopping (fashion, optics).
Which supermarket chains operate on Mallorca?
Major chains are Eroski (with Center stores and smaller branches), Mercadona (full-range, dense network), Lidl, Aldi and Dia (discount), Carrefour (hypermarket and express format), Hipercentro (wholesale with counter) and Spar. Full-range organic: Veritas, Cebrié Bio. Weekly markets (Mercat de Manacor, Mercat de Sineu, Pollença Sunday) supply regional products direct from the producer. Hours typically 9:00–21:30 Mon–Sat, closed Sundays except in tourist hotspots (9:00–14:00).
Is there an IKEA on Mallorca?
Yes — IKEA Palma sits in Marratxí, about 10 km north-east of Palma right on the Ma-13 motorway. Full range, dedicated restaurant and bistro. Island-wide delivery from 35 EUR (5–10 working days), sofa assembly from 60 EUR. Other furniture chains: Conforama (Marratxí, Manacor), Maisons du Monde (Palma) and mass furnishers like Tien21. For designer furniture and boutique homeware, specialist shops on Carrer Sant Joan and Carrer Banys in Palma are recommended.
Where can I find designer boutiques and independent fashion?
Palma's old town is the hub: Carrer Sant Feliu and Carrer Bosseria for designer fashion, Carrer Sant Miquel for established brands and concept stores, Plaça Cort and Passeig del Born for premium labels. Beyond Palma: Santanyí (bohemian fashion, design furniture), Pollença (handmade jewellery, local designers), Sóller (linen and natural fabrics). Most boutiques close Sundays and the 14:00–17:00 siesta. Premium labels often open by appointment with personal styling.
What are Sunday opening hours on Mallorca?
Sunday is closing day on Mallorca under Balearic law. Exceptions: petrol-station mini-markets (24-hour), farm shops until 14:00 (regional rules), pharmacies on emergency rotation, tourist-hotspot shops in Palma harbour and beach promenades (May–October 10:00–14:00). Public holidays count as Sundays. On three city-festival Sundays per year (e.g. Festes de Sant Sebastià in Palma), shops can stay open by exception — dates are published by the Ajuntament.
Where do I buy plants and garden supplies?
Mallorca has several large garden centres (vivero): Garden Margallon (Marratxí), Viveros Llabrés (Palma), Garden Sineu, all stocking plants, pots, soil and irrigation kit. For Mediterranean specialities (olive trees, citrus, bougainvillea), the rural viveros in Inca and Manacor are particularly good. Delivery and planting service starts at 80–250 EUR depending on volume and distance. Weekly markets sell small plants and seeds cheaply (Sineu Wednesday, Pollença Sunday, Inca Thursday).
