Spotlight on Setúbal: why this city is becoming Portugal’s next hotspot for real estate investors

Setúbal, a city full of vibrant soul, rich history, and a promising future, is quickly emerging as one of the most strategic destinations for real estate investment in Portugal. Just 40 minutes from Lisbon, this coastal city offers the best of both worlds: natural tranquility and the energy of a market in full growth.

Traditionally known for its stunning beaches and seafood-based cuisine, Setúbal is now gaining attention from savvy investors who recognize its medium- and long-term appreciation potential. With urban development projects underway and increasing demand for rentals, the city presents an attractive scenario for those seeking consistent returns and portfolio diversification.

Why is Setúbal attracting so much attention?

1. Unmatched natural beauty and year-round tourism
From the beaches of Arrábida to its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking landscapes, Setúbal is firmly on the map for both local and international tourists, creating constant demand for short- and mid-term accommodation.

2. Strategic proximity to Lisbon
Being so close to the capital — but at a much lower price point — makes Setúbal a highly viable alternative for investors looking for profitability without the high costs of the Lisbon market.

3. Steady growth in the real estate market
The city has seen a consistent increase in property prices and rental demand, driven by tourism, the movement of professionals, and the overall appreciation of the region.

4. Expanding urban and tourism projects
Setúbal is receiving new public and private investment in infrastructure, urban renewal, and tourism, opening up unique early-entry opportunities in a transforming market.

5. Authentic culture and outstanding cuisine
The city’s cultural authenticity and strong local identity boost its tourism appeal and quality of life, helping to increase property value and attract repeat visitors.
