Hotels for sale in Portugal: supply is concentrated in 5 districts

The hotel sector has proven to be a true star in commercial real estate investment in Portugal in recent years. The strong demand from tourists, along with attractive yield rates, helps explain the appeal of tourism-related properties. But where are most hotels for sale in Portugal? Investors looking for opportunities in the hotel sector will find the highest supply in five districts: Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Évora and Beja, according to the latest data from idealista.

An analysis of tourist establishments for sale in Portugal over the last three months ending in October shows that five districts concentrate most of the supply. Faro ranks first, with 24 hotels for sale listed on idealista.

Next comes Lisbon with 20 tourist units seeking new owners, followed by Porto (19), Évora (9) and Beja (8), according to the latest data from idealista/data.
