How to find accommodation suited to your needs in Andorra
Andorra’s property market, a haven of peace for investors and nature lovers, continues to grow. Nestling in the heart of the Pyrenees, the Principality of Andorra attracts newcomers every year thanks to its idyllic living environment, safe surroundings and advantageous tax system.
Whether you’re looking for a modern, spacious flat in the city centre or a borda, a traditional stone house with authentic charm, you’ll find the ideal property to meet your expectations. Andorra’s high standards rival those of Europe’s finest, guaranteeing residents optimum living comfort and, in many cases, panoramic mountain views.
For savvy investors, the Andorran property market offers a wealth of opportunities. There is a strong and steady demand for rental properties, guaranteeing a high return on investment. Tourist rentals are also very attractive.
What about the cost of living?
The cost of living in Andorra is comparable to other European countries. Although prices may vary depending on geographical location, they remain affordable and attractive. Electricity and transport costs are also lower than in other European countries.
What’s more, Andorra is renowned for its advantageous tax system, with income tax well below the European average.
An exceptional living environment
Andorra is blessed with superb scenery. Andorra is famous for its ski resorts, which attract thousands of visitors every year. But Andorra is also, and above all, an incomparable natural environment. Expatriating to Andorra for nature lovers is a definite choice.
Andorra’s other great strength is its geographical proximity to France and Spain. As a result, it’s relatively easy to travel abroad for personal or business meetings. While a 100% Andorran airport project is under discussion, residents can still take advantage of the two major airports nearby: El Prat in Spain and Blagnac in Toulouse, France. La Seu d’Urgell airport, 15 km away, also provides a shuttle service between Andorra and Madrid.
Choosing Andorra to invest
For several years now, Andorra has been attracting more and more companies, self-employed people and investors. Here you’ll find everything you need to work and live with peace of mind! Non-residents can also invest in property to build up their assets.
As a tourist destination, Andorra is an ideal place to invest in the tourism industry, but also in fast-growing innovative sectors. The country is seeking to stimulate innovation in a number of key sectors, such as start-ups, renewable energies, healthcare and the creative industries.
