Portugal Vacation Homes for Sale.
Real Airbnb Net Yield.
A second home on Portugal’s coast and islands that also pays for itself — every villa and apartment for sale across the Algarve, the Lisbon Coast, the Silver Coast and Madeira, refreshed daily and cross-checked against 35,000+ live Airbnb calendars so you see which ones actually earn. Ranked by realistic, after-tax net yield. The whole coast, one glance.
Yields shown are fully-managed net after non-resident income tax, over the all-in cost (price + IMT + stamp duty + notary + legal + furnishing) — the Portugal median is 2.1% (6.4% gross on the asking price); the homes at or above BrixfoxScore 95 net 3.7%. We rank on what you keep, not on gross-on-asking.
The whole Portuguese coast.
One glance.
Looking for a home in Portugal that actually earns? This is where you need to be. No portal shows you both sides of the deal — we track what’s for sale AND what those homes really rent for.
Algarve, Lisbon Coast, Silver Coast or Madeira — where should you buy?

Median after-tax net yield and median asking price per region, from the live for-sale catalogue. Freehold, EUR-priced; the AL licence status is shown per listing. Regions outside the Algarve are annualised on the Algarve seasonality curve until their first winter has been observed.
Ready to Let.
Built to Earn.
A-grade, finished and earning-ready — no off-plan. Listings whose own Airbnb we verified come first when their net yield is at least the median of the picks, then the highest net yield.

The AL licence, and what a home really costs to buy.
Two questions decide whether a projected yield is achievable at all: whether the home may be let short-term, and what it costs all-in before the first guest.
The AL licence
Short-term letting in Portugal needs an Alojamento Local registration. Whether an existing licence transfers with the sale is the first question to ask, and in a containment zone a new one may not be granted at all. We show each listing’s AL status — register-verified, claimed by the agency, building-level or none known — and only the register-verified state is a verified claim.
The all-in cost
Every yield on this page divides by the true acquisition cost, not the asking price: price plus IMT (transfer tax), stamp duty, notary and registration, legal fees, furnishing and the STR launch. Net is what a fully-managed non-resident owner keeps after Portuguese income tax.
Buyer checkpoint
Before underwriting, confirm the AL registration with the municipality and the RNAL register, and have a Portuguese lawyer check the licence-transfer clause in the promissory contract. Madeira keeps its own AL register that we do not read yet, so no Madeira licence can be verified here; and yields on the Lisbon Coast, the Silver Coast and Madeira are annualised on the Algarve seasonality curve — no winter has been observed there.
Regulation overview only, current as of September 2026 — not legal advice. Verify with a local lawyer before purchase.

RevPAR
Occupancy and ADR are observed from live Airbnb calendars across Apr 2026–Jan 2027 (32,583 listings tracked, counted over Dec 2026's calendars, the best-covered month), shown in euros. ADR reflects asking prices; upcoming months show booking pace to date and typically rise as the month approaches.
One summer of history, no winter yet
Portuguese calendars have been read since April 2026 in the Algarve and since June 2026 on the Lisbon Coast, the Silver Coast and Madeira, night by night from late July. The tables below cover 32,583 tracked listings over Apr 2026–Jan 2027. No Portuguese winter has been observed, so every annual figure on this page is a summer window scaled down — a peak-season reading, not a measured year — and the yields outside the Algarve are annualised on the Algarve curve. Occupancy, ADR and revenue are medians across actively-rented listings (≥25 days of calendar data, ≥10% occupancy) over the trailing quarter — not all tracked listings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of Portugal can I explore on Brixfox?
The Algarve, the Lisbon Coast (Cascais, Sintra and the Comporta coast), the Silver Coast (Ericeira to Nazaré) and Madeira. Each region card opens a catalogue already filtered to that region, so you compare only the homes that belong to the destination — and every region is scored on the same basis.
How is net yield calculated for a Portuguese home?
True net: projected rental income from the Airbnb calendars we track around the property, minus full management, cleaning and channel costs, maintenance, insurance and Portuguese non-resident income tax, divided by the all-in acquisition cost — asking price plus IMT (transfer tax), stamp duty, notary and registration, legal fees, furnishing and the STR launch. It is the number a remote, fully-managed owner keeps, not gross-on-asking.
Can every property be rented short-term?
No. Short-term letting needs an Alojamento Local (AL) registration, and whether an existing licence transfers with the sale — or whether a new one can be granted in that municipality — is the first question to ask. We show the AL evidence available for a listing (register-verified, claimed by the agency, building-level or none known); only the register-verified state is a verified claim, and Madeira keeps its own register that we do not read yet.
Where does this data come from?
Brixfox tracks 35,000+ live Airbnb availability calendars across the Algarve, the Lisbon Coast, the Silver Coast and Madeira and derives occupancy, nightly rates and net yield from observed bookings — the same engine behind our Bali, Dubai, Thailand and Netherlands markets. Calendars have been read since April 2026 in the Algarve and since June 2026 elsewhere, so no Portuguese winter has been observed yet: every annual figure outside the Algarve is annualised on the Algarve seasonality curve, and every page says so.
