Supermarkets in and Around Oliva: Where to Get the Essentials

Yes, Oliva has an amazing weekly Friday market right in the middle of the Paseo — and it’s a must for every guest. It’s where you’ll find fresh local produce, cheeses, olives, clothes, home goods, and more. Truly a highlight!

So for your first grocery run, here’s where to go. These supermarkets are close, convenient, and easy to get to — whether you’re staying at the Beach Getaway or the Old Town Apartment.

Oh — and one more thing before we dive in…
