Tourism numbers are rising, with what seems to be a return to normal activity since the Covid-19 pandemic arrived in Portugal in early 2020. The country’s tourism influx is still not up to 2019’s levels, but is on a clear and significant rise motivated by the sunny weather, broad and beautiful coastline, natural landscape and historic landmarks. But tourism isn’t the only reason why Europeans have their sights on Portugal…

The United Kingdom scrapped their last travel restrictions recently and many European countries are doing the same, making it easier for the Algarve’s most recurring tourists to prepare once again to travel for the summer on this Southern Portugal haven of natural beauty, hot and sunny weather, aquatic sports, water parks and cool nightlife hangouts.

Lagos, Tavira and Vilamoura are among the most popular places in the Algarve.

Portugal has always faced competition from other southern European countries such as Spain, Greece, Italy and even France. However, it’s climbing the ladder of the most sought out countries for the summer holidays, which is highly rewarding given the country used to be overshadowed by its larger neighbours. While British tourists have been acquainted with this Iberian gem for a long time, it’s remarkable that the country is now gaining attention and market opportunities with other European countries. 

The Algarve

The Algarve is Portugal’s southernmost region, bathed by the Atlantic sea at its western and southern borders. It was from the Algarve, at Sagres Point, that Prince Henry “The Navigator” launched the Portuguese Age of Maritime Discoveries in the mid-1400’s.

This region is known for its amazing soft climate and sunny weather throughout the year. The very pleasant weather allows its visitors to discover a gorgeous coastline. Almost always calm and warm, the sea invites a long swim or to try some nautical sports.

Strong demand for Algarve property

Germans, in particular, are one of Europe’s residents that are now discovering the Algarve as an investment destination, representing an average of 15% of investment in Luxury Real Estate in the Algarve. Quinta do Lago is one of the most sought after areas. 

In fact, Portugal has been a destination of choice for many foreigners who are looking not only for a place to enjoy their well deserved holidays, but also, and more frequently, for a place to live and invest in. It’s a known fact that many central Europeans, such as Germans, Belgians, Dutch and French, have chosen to buy Portuguese property in secluded areas, to live in the midst of the Portuguese interior peace and warm weather, away from stress and busy cities. And over the last two years the German market has been drawing attention to the acquisition of Real Estate in Portugal, with a particular focus on the Algarve region. German buyers already represent an average of 15% of the total real estate buyers in the Algarve, looking mostly for luxury properties such as detached houses with wide interiors and ample exterior spaces, either overlooking the sea or surrounded by nature. Also very important is to be near the Algarve’s top-level Golf courses!

The demand for Algarve properties varies depending on the location, and reason for purchase. While in most coastal areas and in cities such as Albufeira, Vilamoura, Portimão, and Quinta do Lago, the German investor preference falls mostly under charming properties with very large areas, gardens and sea views, farms, properties with swimming pools located in quieter areas, surrounded by nature and low population density. In the Algarve’s capital, Faro, these investors look for apartments with large terraces or detached houses with a more traditional style in the town centre.

Ryan was an excellent real estate agent, he really steered me in the right direction based on what I said was important to me. Living in another country, I wasn't as familiar with the city as he is. Where I thought I wanted to live and what I truly wanted were not the same. He took the time to listen and figure out the best spot for me, and we are very happy with it - far more than we would have been elsewhere.
