About Sant Miquel de Balansat

One of the largest inland villages in Ibiza, Sant Miquel de Balansat is utterly idyllic. North of Ibiza Town and within easy reach of the coast, this laid-back community is characterised by whitewashed and exposed stone houses rising from between the trees. There’s a great choice of accommodation options set within the village and in the surrounding countryside, fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay Sant Miquel de Balansat are intimate, tranquil and family-run — perfect for a relaxed island escape.

Dominated by a fortified church painted a dazzling white, Sant Miquel de Balansat is wonderful for sun-drenched strolls or slow cycle rides. Pop into independent boutiques, pick a perch at a small café, or fill your bags with artisanal crafts at the weekly summer flea market.

For lazy beach days, head to the Sant Miquel’s port and former fishing hub, just four kilometres to the north. You’ll find fine sandy beaches, a welcoming bay for swimming, kayaking and sailing, and ample opportunities to book memorable boat trips. Keen hikers can follow coastal paths to discover tiny bays set between craggy cliffs and marvellous viewpoints from between the pine trees.
