Actor Miguel Bernardeau has a long-standing connection with Ibiza, where he spends time with his family and enjoys one of his best-known passions, the sea.

The actor is associated with a family home in the Ses Salines area of southern Ibiza, within one of the island's protected natural landscapes. The property has been described in recent reporting as a family retreat where Bernardeau can spend time away from Madrid and the public spotlight.

A family property in Ses Salines

According to the latest report, the home has around 120 square metres of living space and is held through the family company Shuagathan 2018 SL.

The company is associated with Bernardeau and his parents, actress Ana Duato and producer Miguel Ángel Bernardeau. The reported ownership structure gives 40% to Ana Duato, 40% to Miguel Ángel Bernardeau and 20% to their son Miguel.

The reported investment was between €1 million and €1.2 million. It is important to distinguish this figure from the €12 million that could be inferred from a shortened reading of the headline. The available reporting says €1.2 million at most.

Located within the protected Ses Salines landscape

The property is described as being in Ses Salines, an area with significant environmental protection.

The Balearic Government's official information confirms that the Natural Park of Ses Salines of Ibiza and Formentera extends across southern Ibiza and northern Formentera. The park covers both terrestrial and marine areas and protects habitats with important ecological, landscape, historical and cultural value.

The wider Ses Salines area is also included within the European Natura 2000 network as a Special Area of Conservation and Special Protection Area for birds.

A home designed around the landscape

The latest description of Bernardeau's family home emphasises a minimalist aesthetic, white walls, large windows and natural light.

The property is presented as a place designed to make the most of its surroundings, particularly the sea and views across the landscape. Those details come from the property description published in the recent report rather than from an independent architectural assessment.

The location is particularly relevant to Bernardeau because of his long-standing interest in the sea and surfing.

The sea as a place to disconnect

Bernardeau has spoken publicly about his relationship with the sea, describing it as a place where he can find tranquillity and disconnect from everyday life.

Surfing has also become one of his major interests. In interviews, he has explained that he values the experience of being in the water and riding the waves rather than simply the adrenaline associated with the sport.

His connection with Ibiza therefore extends beyond simply spending holidays on the island. The sea and outdoor environment form an important part of the way he has described his time there.

A long connection with Ibiza

Bernardeau's family has been associated with Ibiza for years.

Earlier reporting established that his parents had previously spent their summers in the Ses Salines area, initially renting before acquiring a property there in 2024 through the family company.

That earlier property was reported as having 167 square metres of built space on a plot of approximately 742 square metres, with the purchase price reported at around €1.2 million.

The more recent report describes Bernardeau's connection with the family home as part of his continuing relationship with the island.

Ibiza away from the spotlight

For Bernardeau, Ibiza has increasingly been associated with the quieter side of island life.

The combination of the sea, protected landscapes and family surroundings provides a very different setting from his professional life in Madrid and from the more heavily visited areas of Ibiza during the summer.

His own comments about the sea reinforce that connection, with the actor describing the water as a particularly important place of calm and privacy.

The family's presence in Ses Salines also places them within one of Ibiza's most environmentally sensitive landscapes, where development and activities are subject to specific protection rules.

A protected corner of Ibiza

The Bernardeau family's Ibiza connection illustrates another side of the island's appeal to well-known visitors: the attraction of quieter natural areas rather than nightlife and large-scale tourism.

Ses Salines combines beaches, salt flats, coastal landscapes and protected habitats across Ibiza and Formentera. The official Natural Park information describes the area as important for biodiversity, including as a resting and nesting area for migratory birds.

For Bernardeau, it is also a place connected to family, the sea and the opportunity to step away from the public attention that comes with his acting career.
