Find your dream home in the Algarve

Progress your search for real estate this summer

With miles of golden sandy beaches, Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury shopping, world-class sports and leisure facilities – it’s no wonder the Algarve will once again be the holiday destination of choice for high-net-worth individuals and investors this summer.

After experiencing the stunning scenery and lifestyle opportunities in the exclusive region, many of our clients decide to either relocate or buy an investment property in the area. Whenever that moment comes, the Full Time Property team are here to provide independent advice and guidance as you begin or progress your search for real estate.

Many people are choosing the Algarve, not only for holiday or retirement homes, but it has also become a preferred choice for digital nomads, couples of all ages and young families looking to make it their permanent residence. 2025 remains on course to be another record-breaking year for both the property market and tourism in the Algarve, with prices forecasted to rise by 19.1% (Quinta do Lago) and 18.5% (Vale do Lobo) respectively. 

Portugal also has an established reputation as one of the safest countries in the world, with excellent national and international schools and one of the best healthcare systems in Europe.

Direct flights from New York to Faro boosts demand

Earlier this year, United Airlines launched their first direct transatlantic route from New York to Faro – which has opened up Portugal’s southernmost region to even more potential investors. Portugal was voted as the second most popular destination for American travellers in 2025 (United States Tour Operations Association) and the number of US citizens visiting the Algarve is increasing 10% year-over-year.

There are many reasons why American investors and affluent individuals are deciding to move abroad and choose areas such as Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo as their home. The year-round community feel within each area is complemented by an impressive range of golf courses, beautiful beaches, the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Michelin Star restaurants, shopping, family-friendly activities and world-class sports facilities such as The Campus.
