The Lisbon region continues to attract strong interest from both domestic and international property buyers, with premium homes in Cascais, Estoril, and Ericeira standing out for their combination of coastal views, modern living standards, and access to leisure and cultural amenities.
“The Lisbon region continues to attract a diverse profile of buyers — from investors seeking long-term value to individuals prioritising lifestyle and coastal living,” says Barbora Hlaváčková, Residential Sales Consultant, who specialises in the Cascais, Sintra, and Ericeira areas. “These locations offer a unique combination of natural beauty, modern infrastructure, and proximity to the capital, making them especially appealing in today’s market.”
Among the standout listings is a fully renovated 2-bedroom apartment in Alapraia, Estoril, priced at €470,000. Located on the sixth floor, the apartment offers sea views, strong sunlight exposure, and proximity to São João do Estoril station and Azarujinha beach. The building features two elevators, video surveillance, and private storage, while the apartment itself includes a modern open-plan kitchen, updated technical systems, and nearly 86 m² of covered space.
“Your new home can have a sea view or sit in the middle of stunning nature just a few kilometres from the ocean,” says Hlaváčková.
In Ericeira, Europe’s only designated World Surfing Reserve, luxury properties are also drawing attention. One highlighted listing is a 2-bedroom apartment priced at €950,000, featuring a 65 m² rooftop terrace, private pool, and 98 m² of internal space. Located just 800 meters from Praia do Sul, it sits within a gated community. Another option in the area is a 2-bedroom duplex for €645,000, offering access to a communal pool and garden and located only 700 meters from the beach.
“Portugal, especially the Lisbon area, is a place where you’ll find all kinds of people — large families, gourmands, wine lovers, those who want to relax, and those who stay active,” says Hlaváčková. “Ericeira is a surf reserve, but it’s also great for running, walking, skating, practising yoga, or just enjoying peace and quiet. And Cascais offers amazing golf courses. Simply put, this area offers something for everyone — and more than 300 sunny days a year.”
Buyers looking for detached homes will find options like a 3-bedroom house in Santo Isidoro, priced at €725,000, offering 284 m² of covered space, sea views, and a location near the surfing beaches of Coxos and São Lourenço. Recently renovated, it is close to Ribamar village, combining coastal living with local charm.
“All these beaches are also some of the best places to watch sunsets — the most beautiful sunsets in Europe,” says Hlaváčková. “You never get tired of them, and they’re not just for the romantics. Portuguese sunsets touch everyone.”
For buyers interested in new construction, a 3-bedroom house in Mafra is available in the project phase at €650,000, offering 174 m² of covered area on a 390 m² plot, with a swimming pool and garage planned across three floors. Another listing, a €560,000 apartment in Ericeira, offers sea views, modern interiors, balconies, and shared amenities like a swimming pool within a gated community.
“Portuguese people in the Lisbon area are ready to speak English with you,” notes Hlaváčková. “And another big plus is that all these places are no more than a 35-minute drive from Lisbon Airport, which is a great advantage for this area.”
Cascais and Estoril remain particularly desirable for their seaside location, proximity to Lisbon, and strong infrastructure. Ericeira, meanwhile, is increasingly sought after by lifestyle buyers drawn to its relaxed surf culture.
“Cascais is a very special place — often called the Portuguese Riviera,” adds Hlaváčková. “It has a beautiful promenade along the coast. And Estoril is a legendary place for all James Bond fans — guess why?”
Lisbon itself remains a central draw, offering historic charm, a vibrant food and nightlife scene, and easy access to the coast. With continued demand and a wide range of offerings, the broader Lisbon region presents compelling opportunities for residential buyers and investors alike.
