The Azores are more than a beautiful archipelago. They are becoming a place to invest. Investing in the Azores, especially in tourism, means betting on a growing economy with good returns.
More airlines now fly to the islands, so more tourists come on holiday. At the same time, property prices are still affordable, which attracts many investors. So why not invest in this growing tourism market? Remember: demand for quality accommodation keeps rising.
The Azores are the place to be
These nine islands were the first archipelago in the world certified as a sustainable tourism destination. They also won the “Best of Nature” award at the Sustainable Destination Awards, given by Green Destinations.
In other words, the Azores stand out again and again for sustainable tourism. They are a destination for experiences and nature. That is why more and more people travel to the Azores every year.
One of the best places for quality of life
Living and working in the Azores means a calmer, happier life, far from the stress and pollution of big cities. Nature is always close: just rent a car to enjoy the best spots and their stunning views.
In addition, the cost of living is much lower than in mainland Portugal. VAT is lower in the region, and house and food prices are generally lower too.
Investing in the Azores means investing in holiday rentals
The Azores keep attracting more visitors, and many prefer a house or apartment to a hotel: more space, their own kitchen and the feeling of living the island like a local. That makes holiday rentals one of the most interesting ways to invest in tourism in the region.
A peaceful destination surrounded by nature
The Azores are perfect for reconnecting with nature: hiking, whale watching, hot springs, lakes and a calmer life, far from the rush of big cities.
