Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort: A Five-Star Haven on Ibiza's Quiet Northern Coast

Nestled on Ibiza's tranquil northern coast, Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort is a five-star, adults-only property that offers a unique blend of luxury and laid-back charm. Part of Hilton's Curio Collection, this resort is more than just a hotel - it's a cluster of low-key hideaways designed to create a resort-scale, boutique feel.

The resort is split between two buildings, each with its own pool and restaurant. The Beach House, a separate pool club and restaurant, is a highlight, opening at 11am and offering Balearic DJ sets. It's open to day visitors, adding a light buzz of energy without feeling overrun.

Lotte Jeffs recently checked into the Club side of the hotel, which offers premium check-in, access to a private restaurant for breakfast, and some Club suites with private plunge pools and outdoor showers. The design of the Beach House is clean and coastal, with cabana daybeds and loungers available for guests. However, there's a charge if you aren't in a Club room and a minimum spend for all guests.

For those seeking a more active holiday, Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort offers free activities like paddleboarding, snorkelling, hiking, and art workshops. The resort also boasts a light-filled fitness studio with sea-facing equipment and an outdoor fitness area.

When it comes to dining, the resort offers a variety of options. La Savina, located on the rooftop, serves dinner, while La Savina, a laid-back, poolside restaurant, is perfect for a casual meal. The Beach House menu leans local, with options like black rice with cuttlefish and aioli, red prawn omelettes, and lobster dishes.

The resort also offers a rooftop for yoga and live music, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a rejuvenating break. The design of the resort incorporates Ibizan neutrals, textured linens, sandy ceramics, and natural woods, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A stay at Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort starts from £330 in the Club Accessible Rooms on a bed and breakfast basis. With its stunning location, luxurious amenities, and array of dining options, Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway. A short walk around the bay leads to a more secluded cove with clear water, offering guests the opportunity to explore the beautiful coastline. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort has something for everyone.
