Cascais and Lisbon Lead Demand for Luxury Coastal Homes as Supply Grows 10%

Lisbon Coast Dominates Luxury Beachfront Property Market

For foreign investors seeking premium coastal real estate in Portugal, new data reveals a clear preference for the Lisbon area, even as the nationwide supply of luxury seaside villas grows by 10%. While the Algarve offers a high volume of properties, the strongest demand is centered around Cascais, Oeiras, and Sesimbra, making the Lisbon coast the epicenter of the market.

Analysis from the second quarter of 2025 shows that despite a large inventory in the Algarve's Loulé and Lagos, buyer interest is most intense in municipalities that offer both beach access and proximity to the capital's amenities.

The key insight is the divergence between supply and demand. 'While you'll find more listings in the Algarve, the competition and buyer focus are squarely on the Lisbon coast,' explains a real estate investment strategist. 'This concentration of demand is driving values and indicates a more liquid market for high-end properties.' For example, the median price for a luxury villa in Grândola (Setúbal) has hit €2.7 million, while Cascais and Lisbon properties consistently command prices above the €2 million mark.

This trend suggests that for investors prioritizing capital appreciation and resale potential, the Lisbon coastal region presents a more robust opportunity than other seaside areas.

• Follow the Demand: Focus your search on the municipalities of Cascais, Oeiras, and Sesimbra, where buyer interest is highest. This ensures you are investing in a liquid and desirable market.
• Benchmark Prices: Use the median price data as a guide. With top-tier locations like Grândola at €2.7M and Cascais over €2M, you can better assess the value of potential investments.
• Explore Growth Areas: Note the significant price growth in areas like Sesimbra (+24%) and Óbidos (+28%). These locations may offer higher short-term growth potential compared to more mature markets.
• Act on Increased Supply: The 10% increase in available properties provides more choice. This is an opportune moment to find a property that meets your specific criteria before the market tightens further.
