Houses and villas for sale in Sant Miguel, Ibiza
Houses and villas for sale in Sant Miguel are found around one of the most traditional villages in the north of Ibiza, with its white fortified church on the hill and pine-covered countryside all around. Sant Miguel, also known as Sant Miquel de Balansat, is a real village with life all year round, and only a few minutes below it lies the sheltered bay of Port de Sant Miquel. The choice is varied, from village houses and renovated country homes to modern houses near the port and villas with sea views in the hills. Homes closer to the coast often enjoy sea and sunset views, while those further inland have more land and more privacy.

Buying a house or villa in Sant Miguel
The beach of Port de Sant Miquel is only about five minutes away, and Santa Gertrudis, with more shops, restaurants and the international school nearby, is about ten minutes by car.

Buying costs in Sant Miguel
Resale properties are subject to the Balearic transfer tax ITP, calculated on the higher of the price in the deed and the cadastral reference value (valor de referencia), at 8% up to €400,000, 9% up to €600,000, 10% up to €1 million, 12% up to €2 million and 13% above that. On a home of €1.6 million the tax comes to around €162,000, on a villa of €6.3 million to around €769,000, before notary, land registry, lawyer and building surveyor. In total, buyers should allow about 11% to 14% on top of the price. New builds bought directly from a developer usually carry 10% IVA plus AJD instead of ITP. If you would like to finance part of the purchase, read our guide to getting a mortgage in Ibiza.
What should buyers check before buying?
Many homes around Sant Miguel are on rural land, and older country houses were often extended over the years, so the legal status needs a careful look. Make sure the house, pool, terraces, guest house and extensions are licensed and registered in the cadastre and land registry, and that there are no open planning infringements. Ask for the cédula de habitabilidad, the certificate of habitability, because without a valid cédula you often cannot transfer water and electricity contracts into your name. Also check private access roads and rights of way, especially in the hills towards Benirràs, as well as the well, cistern and electricity connection. If a property is offered with a tourist rental licence, check its status carefully, as new tourist rental licences in Ibiza are very limited. You will need a Spanish NIE, and we recommend having an independent lawyer and an architect check everything before you sign a private purchase contract.

Demand for houses and villas in Sant Miguel
Demand comes from international buyers and families who want a home in the north with a real village and the sea nearby, both as a permanent residence and as a second home. The most wanted are legal country houses with land and villas with open sea views, and as there are only a few of them, some of the best homes change hands privately. Buyers who want more choice often compare Sant Miguel with Benirràs, Na Xamena or the countryside around Morna Valley.
Why buy a house or villa in Sant Miguel?
Sant Miguel suits buyers who want the quiet north of Ibiza without giving up village life and a beach close by. You get countryside, privacy and views, with shops, a school and restaurants open all year. As the surroundings are protected and new building is limited, legal homes in good locations tend to keep their value.
