Weekly Market Calvià Mallorca

The weekly market in Calvià is a traditional village market held every Monday morning in the centre of Calvià town, with more than 60 stalls along Carrer Major and a strong focus on local life rather than mass tourism. Set in a quiet valley framed by hills and historic stone houses, it is one of the most authentic market experiences in the southwest of Mallorca and a great contrast to the nearby beach resorts.

What to expect at Calvià weekly market

The Calvià weekly market (often called Calvià village market or Calvià Monday market) stretches along Carrer Major, the main street of the old village, very close to the 19th‑century San Joan church and traditional buildings such as Can Verger and Sa Capelleta. On market day, this normally quiet street fills with stalls and locals, turning the centre into a lively but still village‑like shopping area.

You will find around 60 or more stands offering a broad mix of products: fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables from local farmers, Mallorcan cheeses, sausages, ham, olives, bread, empanadas, cocarrois, pastries and other regional foods sit alongside clothing, footwear, textiles and handicrafts. There are also stalls with artisanal products, including pottery, jewellery and handmade accessories, so you can pick up both everyday essentials and unique souvenirs in one place.

The atmosphere is very local, as the market traditionally serves Calvià’s residents, but in summer more and more visitors from nearby coastal resorts such as Santa Ponça, Peguera or Palmanova come up to the village for a quieter, more authentic experience. The result is a friendly mix of locals doing their weekly shopping and holidaymakers discovering a different side of the municipality.

Market day, opening hours and season

The traditional weekly market in Calvià village takes place every Monday morning, all year round. It is the oldest and most established market in the municipality and is considered its main village market.

The typical opening hours are from around 08:00 to 13:00–13:30, with several sources indicating a core window of 8:00–13:00 or 8:30–13:30. Stalls are usually fully active by mid‑morning, and many start to pack up shortly after 13:00, so it is best to arrive sometime between 9:00 and 11:00 for the fullest experience and the best selection.

Location: where the market is in Calvià

The market is held in Calvià Vila, the historic inland village that gives the municipality its name, not in the coastal resorts themselves. Stalls are set up along Carrer Major (Calle Major), the main street in the centre of the village, very close to the San Joan church and other notable village buildings.

Calvià village lies about 16 km from Palma and around 12 km from Andratx, in a rural valley at the foot of low mountains, surrounded by farmland and countryside. This setting gives the weekly market a distinctly rural backdrop, far from the high‑rise and nightlife image often associated with nearby coastal areas like Magaluf.

How to get to Calvià weekly market

If you are staying in coastal resorts such as Santa Ponça, Peguera, Palmanova or Magaluf, Calvià village is only a short drive inland, making the Monday market an easy half‑day trip. From Palma, you typically drive towards the southwest on the main roads and follow signs to Calvià; the village is about a 20–25‑minute drive depending on traffic.

On market days, cars cannot drive along Carrer Major where the stalls are located, so you should look for parking in nearby streets or signed parking areas on the edge of the centre, then walk a few minutes to the market. Arriving earlier in the morning gives you a better chance of finding a convenient space and avoids the busiest arrival period.

Public buses connect Calvià village with the coastal areas in the municipality, as part of a wider network of “7 days, 7 markets” in Calvià, where each day features a different village market (e.g. Peguera on Tuesday, Son Ferrer on Friday, Santa Ponça on Saturday). From the bus stop in Calvià Vila, it is just a short walk to Carrer Major and the San Joan church, where the Monday market takes place.

Why visit Calvià market in Mallorca

Calvià weekly market is one of the best options in the southwest of Mallorca if you want a genuine village market rather than a purely tourist‑oriented one. It offers a real insight into local life, as many of the visitors are residents buying fresh produce, clothing and household items for the week ahead.

The combination of local farmers’ stalls, traditional baked goods, regional specialities and artisanal crafts makes it a rewarding place to buy both food and meaningful souvenirs. At the same time, its manageable size and relaxed ambience mean it is easy to explore without feeling overwhelmed, even if you are not used to busy markets.

For travellers staying in the nearby resorts, visiting Calvià Monday market is a refreshing change of scene: instead of only seeing the coastal hotel strips, you step into a quiet Mallorcan village with stone houses, a church, and a slower rhythm of life. This contrast often becomes a highlight of a southwest Mallorca holiday.

Tips for visiting Calvià weekly market

1. Aim to arrive between 9:00 and 11:00 for a good balance of activity, choice and comfortable temperatures.
2. Bring enough cash, as not all vendors accept card payments, especially smaller food and craft stalls.
3. Wear comfortable shoes – you will likely walk up and down Carrer Major several times and may want to explore some side streets and viewpoints around the village afterwards.
4. Take time to sample local baked goods such as empanadas and cocarrois, and look out for stalls with handcrafted pottery or jewellery if you want authentic keepsakes from Calvià.
