It was in the districts of Porto, Setúbal and Lisbon where the greatest drop in the number of tourist establishments available for sale was observed, according to data from idealista.

The high attractiveness of tourist properties for investment has ended up absorbing the existing supply on the market in recent months. This is exactly what the most recent data from idealista/data suggests: at the end of March 2025, 131 tourist establishments were for sale, 28% less than in the same period last year (i.e., 51 fewer hotel units).

Half of the tourist buildings for sale in Portugal in March 2025 are in just three districts: Faro (34), Porto (16) and Lisbon (15). Still, the same data reveals that there are still business opportunities in the hotel industry in practically all districts and islands, as they have at least one tourist establishment available to gain a new owner. The only exception is Bragança, which did not register any hotel advertisements for sale during this period.

This reduction in tourist properties advertised for sale last year was felt in 13 of the 20 districts and islands analyzed. The biggest annual drops were recorded in Porto (-12 units), followed by Setúbal (-7) and Lisbon (-6), the same data reveal. On Madeira Island, 5 fewer hotel developments were recorded for sale, the same reduction observed in the district of Portalegre.

In the districts of Évora, Coimbra and Vila Real, the number of tourist buildings for sale did not change between March 2024 and March 2025.
