Description
Backed by dramatic cliffs and flanked by jade-coloured pine forests, the bay around which the village is built is deep, wide and gorgeous. The hotels are clustered together in a small, inconspicuous gathering while apartment blocks, bars and shops can be found not far away on the other side of the bay.
The atmosphere in Puerto San Miguel is one of seclusion and isolation with a touch of traditional Ibiza dropped into the mix. If peace, quiet and relaxation are what you're looking for, stop searching and book your dream holiday in Puerto San Miguel now. A short distance inland is San Miguel Town.
Visit the magical caves of Can Marca and retrace the steps of infamous smugglers. If you are seeking some traditional culture visit the Hippy market at Es Canar, or take one of the various boat trips to other areas of this beautiful island. San Miguel Town is overlooked by a fine 14th century church that is one of the finest examples on the island. Every Thursday the local people gather in the square in front of the church to perform Ibizan folk dances to the sounds of an authentic Ibizan folk band, as wine is passed around the crowd.
Beaches
San Miguel Beach
The crescent-shaped beach in San Miguel consists of delicate shingle, so fine it could almost be sand. Your toes certainly won't know the difference as they sink slowly into the warm, white powder. There are watersports galore here - from banana boats to jet ski hire, there are plenty of ways to make sure you have fun in the sun.
Shopping
Shopping is fairly minimal but there are a few supermarkets, beach paraphernalia and souvenir shops so food, swimming costumes and gifts won't be a problem. Take home some delicious 'Hierbas Ibicencas' - local liqueur made from the extract of 18 herbs.
Nightlife
Entertainment tends to be hotel-based, but there are various bars and one discotheque in the town area where you can relax after a day in the sun.
Restaurants
The restaurants are fairly modest in appearance and informal in atmosphere, but their seafood dishes are simply gourmet. For something very special, head to the Hotel Hacienda, perched high on the clifftop, where you can enjoy gourmet dining while looking out for the rich and famous that frequent this 5 Star hotel.
