Ah, Brazil... The land of samba, sunshine, and endless beaches. Most people picture palm trees and caipirinhas when they think of this vibrant country. But behind that postcard image lies something most foreigners haven’t yet discovered: one of the smartest and most accessible property investment opportunities on the market right now.





Welcome to Alagoas: Brazil’s best-kept secret

Tucked away in the northeast of Brazil lies the state of Alagoas, a sun-soaked paradise where tourism is booming, and the future looks brighter every day.

From a stunning new bike lane that hugs the coastline to a newly expanded airport and even a giant Ferris wheel inspired by the London Eye, the government is making huge investments in infrastructure. Property prices? Still incredibly low. For as little as €450/month, you can pay off a brand-new apartmentf in under four years, interest-free.

Even better: if you invest in certain areas of Alagoas, you’re eligible for a brazilian visa that lets you come and go as you please.

And yes : we handle everything for you.

Our story: From frustration in Europe to opportunity in Brazil

We’re Nieilly, a Brazilian lawyer specializing in immigration law, and Jason, a Belgian marketer. In 2021, we were looking to buy a property in Europe. But the prices were outrageous, interest rates depressing, and the options... uninspiring.

So, we turned our eyes to Maceió, the capital of Alagoas and Nieilly’s hometown. That’s when everything changed.

We bought a newly built one-bedroom apartment with a pool, gym, reception, covered garage, and just five minutes from the beach, all for €50,000, fully furnished and including legal fees.

Today, that apartment has doubled in value and brings in up to €1,500/month in rental income through Airbnb and Booking. It’s our home when we’re in Brazil, and a high-performing asset when we’re not.

Our second investment: under construction, big upside

In 2024, we decided to try something new: buying an apartment under construction. The delivery date is 2027, and this unit comes with all the amenities: rooftop pool, gym, reception, parking, and only 3 minutes from the beach.

We paid a deposit of €14,000 and are now paying €500/month directly to the developer — no bank, no interest. It’s a simple, flexible payment plan.

Once delivered, we expect to sell it for 1.5 to 2 times our purchase price, thanks to rising demand and government-led development in Alagoas.

But here’s the kicker: we're also earning on the currency appreciation. Today, €1 = R$6.21. If the exchange rate improves to €1 = R$5, a property worth R$621,000 would go from costing €100,000 to €124,000 — even without any increase in the local value. But given the growth here, it’s much more likely that the property will be worth R$800,000 in a few years — translating to €160,000. That’s a massive compounded return, both from real estate appreciation and currency gains.

There’s something for everyone in Alagoas

These are just two personal examples, but they’re far from unique. Alagoas is experiencing a true real estate boom, especially along the coast.

Whether you're looking for a cozy studio, a 5-bedroom beachfront property, or something in between, we can help. From ready-to-move-in apartments to projects under construction with delivery timelines ranging from 1 to 4 years, we tailor everything to your budget, timeline, and objectives.

Rental yields range from 4% to 12%, and prices start at just €70,000.

Why invest in Alagoas now?

  • Property prices are still low, but rising fast.
  • The Brazilian real is undervalued, offering excellent currency exchange opportunities.
  • You can pay in installments with 0% interest.
  • Tourism is booming, with Maceió now one of Brazil’s top-selling destinations, thanks in part to new direct flights from Paris and Lisbon.
  • Football player Neymar recently invested €1.3 billion in Alagoan real estate, a major vote of confidence in the region.
  • Investment here makes you eligible for permanent residency in Brazil.
  • And finally... it’s Brazil’s most beautiful coastline. Among Brazilians, Alagoas is the #1 spot for holiday homes.
