Has it ever happened to you that you visit a new city, expecting to blend in and experience it like a local? But, you can’t quite blend in because something gives you away as another tourist.

I don’t know how many of you have felt that. In cities like Madrid and Barcelona, it is easier for tourists to feel integrated. However, Mallorca is a bit different.

Don’t get me wrong; I am not talking about the people; they are all as lovely as they come. I am talking about fashion.

Mallorca is an island, but that doesn’t mean people go around in bathing suits all day. Most locals from Mallorca have a high sense of fashion, and if you want to blend in with them, you must carefully prepare your suitcase.

If you don’t know what to take with you, don’t worry! Use your first day to explore the island and then go for a bit of shopping!

In this blog, I will list the 9 best places to shop in Mallorca. You will find not only the best streets for clothing brands, but also ceramics, crafts and even some snacks to recharge your energy!

1. Paseo del Borne

Over the last few years, Paseo del Borne has become the island’s most visited and essential shopping street. It is one of the most charming places in Palma. Many luxury brands on this street include Carolina Herrera, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, and Bvlgari. They have turned this luxury promenade into a ‘designer street.’

One of the most impressive stores on the island is located on this street; it is called Rialto Living. You will find a wide selection of fashion, interior design, stationery items, and even a café to regain strength during your shopping spree.

In Passeig del Born, you will find more affordable stores such as Zara or H&M. 

2. Jaime III Avenue 

If you are in Avenida Jaime III, it can only be for one reason: shopping.

It is full of life and luxury stores, hotels, and magnificent restaurants. A few years ago, this was the most crucial street in Palma until Borne took its place and became the new street of the big designer brands. However, you can still find stores like Cartier and Lottusse in Avenida Jaime III.

If you are looking for the latest fashion trends in Mallorca and stores for all price ranges, Avenida Jaime III is the perfect place. You will find stores like Cortefiel, Decathlon, Mango, Calzedonia, and Women’s Secret.

This avenue is beautiful, lined with elegant 20th-century neo-Baroque buildings with entrances on either side. 

3. Corte Inglés Shopping Center 

You shouldn’t miss a visit to the El Corte Inglés department store. The chain has department stores in many island areas, including Palma. Here you will find everything you are looking for.

Besides clothes, you can also find a supermarket, pharmacy, accessories, household goods, appliances, sportswear, clothes, and toys, among many other things.

It is the largest department store group in Europe and the third largest in the world, are you going to miss it?

4. Santa Catalina Neighborhood

In a bohemian meeting point of Palma, you will find the neighborhood of Santa Catalina, famous for its market, shops, restaurants, and countless bars. The atmosphere of a village combines ancient and modern lifestyles and features.

It is located west of Avenida, Argentina, in Palma; Santa Catalina is one of the most attractive neighborhoods in the city. It is an exciting neighborhood; the adjacent streets contain stores, small bars, and restaurants. 

It has art galleries, design stores, vintage clothing, and handicrafts. When I’m in Mallorca, one of my favorite plans is to spend the afternoon visiting some of these stores and taking a break having a drink in one of their great bars. 

I recommend you go to “The B Connected Mallorca” stores; they are super exciting and have everything you can imagine, from furniture to ceramics. Going on another of my favorite stores is `Frida Watson’ a store with wall clocks and vintage furniture from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. In this shop, you will find things you couldn’t find in other shops; it’s unique and authentic. 

In this neighborhood, you will also find the Mercat de Santa Catalina, the oldest gastronomic market in Palma and full of stalls selling fresh meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and other gourmet products.

5. Mallorca Fashion Outlet

If you like luxury brands but want to save money, there is an outlet 10 minutes away from the center of Palma. The Mallorca Fashion outlet, better known as Festival Park, is an outdoor shopping center located in Marratxí, a municipality very close to Palma. 

This is one of the best places to go shopping in Mallorca, thanks to its fantastic outlet prices, with brands such as Calvin Klein, Guess, Lacoste, and Timberland. Other brands like Nike, Vans, or Puma are less expensive and have incredible discounts.

8. Sant Miquel Street

Discovering the charms of Palma de Mallorca is an important activity during your visit to Mallorca. That is why you can’t miss going to Sant Miquel Street. It is right next to the capital’s Plaza Mayor. 

It is a narrow shopping street in the heart of the city; it is only 650 meters long. It’s located between Avenida Joan March and Plaza Mayor. The combination of shopping and culture in this part of Palma de Mallorca is incomparable. 

The street is full of stores selling clothes, shoes, and accessories. From small stores to big brands such as Zara, H&M, and Pull&Bear. You will find attractive fashion boutiques and traditional shoe shops with high-quality handmade leather from the famous town of the Inca. This street is a pedestrian area where you will find street artists.

In addition, the street has stalls where you can find everything from handmade jewelry at an excellent price to the funniest caricatures. It is said that this is one of the busiest pedestrian streets in the city.
