Lisbon Ranks Among Top 30 Global Hotspots for Millionaires in 2025

Lisbon, Cascais, and Quinta do Lago Among Top 50 Destinations for High-Net-Worth Individuals

According to the Savills HNWI Hotspot Index 2025, Lisbon, Cascais, and Quinta do Lago have secured spots in the top 50 locations most sought after by high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). Lisbon holds the 26th position, Cascais the 33rd, and Quinta do Lago the 43rd, reinforcing Portugal as a premier destination for investors who prioritize safety, quality of life, and economic stability.

The study, part of Savills' Spotlight on Wealth Trends report, identifies Dubai, New York, and Singapore as the top three global wealth centers. Key factors driving international demand for Portugal include rising investments from the United States and Brazil, attracted by the blend of lifestyle, connectivity, and a secure environment.

The report evaluates around 100 destinations based on criteria such as business environment, family infrastructure, succession planning, lifestyle, and privacy. In Europe, Monaco (6th), London (10th), and Geneva (11th) lead the rankings, while Rome (19th) and Milan (23rd) are emerging as growing markets.

Rita Bueri, Head of Residential at Savills Lisbon, stated, "Lisbon's presence in the top 30 confirms the city's international recognition as a competitive destination, combining history, innovation, and quality of life."

Additionally, the report notes that global wealth is becoming more decentralized, with increasing appreciation for coastal and rural areas like Tuscany, Aspen, or Zermatt, valued for their space, privacy, and well-being.

Kelcie Sellers, Associate Director at Savills World Research, emphasized, "The new wealth map is more fluid, decentralized, and globally distributed than ever. Where talent and capital converge, wealth follows. In this new era, the next hotspot will be determined less by legacy and more by agility, vision, and the ability to attract the most global individuals."
