Portugal attracts American millionaires with real estate, lifestyle and residency strategies
Portugal remains firmly at the top of the list of preferred destinations for high-income Americans looking for real estate outside the US. The Algarve region has seen an appreciation of around 30% in the last year, driven primarily by US buyers interested in second homes and luxury villa investments.
Even with the end of the traditional Golden Visa real estate modality, many continue to invest in low density areas or in commercial assets that still allow residence. Cities like Comporta, known as the “Portuguese Hamptons”, offer sustainable projects with direct appeal to the Silicon Valley investor profile: exclusivity, comfort and the possibility of access to the European Union.

With direct flights to the US East Coast, a mild climate and quality of life, Portugal has become synonymous with asset security and strategic mobility. For many, it is more than an investment: it is a plan B with potential for European citizenship.
Other popular destinations among wealthy Americans:
- Greece: Golden Visa from €250,000 + special tax regime for new residents.
- Dubai (UAE): Income of up to 6%, income tax exemption and 10-year visa.
- Japan: Devalued yen opens doors in Tokyo and ski resorts.
- Turkey: Citizenship for US$ 400 thousand and beachfront properties with reduced values.
