Portugal is increasingly establishing itself as one of Europe’s leading destinations for luxury property investment, particularly among buyers from the United Kingdom and the United States.
This trend is confirmed by LUXIMOS Christie’s International Real Estate, which has recently strengthened its international strategy with a prominent presence at two of the world’s major real estate events, held in New York and London.
The company, the exclusive affiliate of the Christie’s brand in the Algarve, Porto and Northern Portugal, has seen a steady rise in interest from overseas investors — especially British and American — drawn by the country’s unique blend of stability, quality of life, safety, and tax appeal.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in demand from British buyers, and more recently, from Americans. Portugal is now synonymous with stability, quality of life, and fiscal attractiveness — three key factors for those investing in luxury property,” says Ricardo Costa, CEO of LUXIMOS Christie’s, in a press release.
In New York, LUXIMOS took part in the ‘Christie’s International Real Estate Summit 2025’, which brought together leaders from over 40 countries to discuss market trends, including the role of artificial intelligence in luxury marketing. In London, the company participated in A Place in the Sun Live, one of the UK’s most prominent events for those looking to buy property abroad, where it engaged directly with hundreds of potential buyers interested in relocating to or investing in Portugal.
Its presence in these two key markets — the US and the UK — strengthens Portugal’s position as a top-tier destination for premium real estate at a time when the country is gaining increasing international recognition as a reliable option for both lifestyle and investment purposes.
