North East Brazil Ticks All the Boxes

By Obelisk on 21 December 2009

Destinations for property investment abroad that tick all the lifestyle and capital gain boxes are not that common. Add luxury property that is easily affordable to the list and the number of destinations shrinks to just a handful. North east Brazil, currently the focus of plenty of property investment, is one of them.

The region's Association for Real Estate & Tourism Development (ADIT), describes north east Brazil as "a great place to live, an excellent place to invest". If you take a look at all the area has to offer and its potential for real estate investment, it is difficult not to agree with ADIT's slogan.

With a population of 51.5 million and an area of 1.6 million km², this part of Brazil boasts a year-round warm and sunny climate - over 250 days of annual sunshine and a balmy average temperature of 28 degrees. And with over 3,167km of coastline (mostly sandy), north east Brazil has plenty of beaches to spend all those sunny days.

Although the world has plenty of other holiday hot spots that also enjoy a great climate and beaches, according to ADIT, north east Brazil has one factor that sets it apart. ADIT claims that north east Brazil is the only tropical region in the world that is free from natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornados and tsunamis. A major plus for a stable tourist market.

Within north east Brazil is the state of Rio Grande do Norte, one of the area's smaller states. Rio Grande do Norte with a population of just 3 million is home to some of the best beaches in the area - the stretch between Pipa and the state capital, Natal is particularly beautiful. And the good news about beaches in this part of Brazil is that real estate investment opportunities can be found right on them. Frontline beach and Atlantic ocean views from luxury properties are available at prices far lower than those found in Europe.

As well as worldclass beaches, this part of Brazil has an added attraction for both tourism and property investment. With over 100 flights a week from Europe, North America and neighbouring Latin American countries, Natal and surrounding resorts are easy to get to meaning that the beautiful sands are just a short drive away.

Natal is one of Brazil's 12 host cities for 2014 World Cup matches and this world cup status means the capital city is the recipient of vast investment funds. According to ADIT, Natal will receive the largest funding of all the host cities and investment to the tune of R$387 million has already been earmarked for infrastructure work. This will include motorway extension and development, better connections between the capital and the coastal highways and improvements to traffic flow in and around the capital.

With year-round sunshine, safe and stunning natural surroundings and the forthcoming World Cup limelight, north east Brazil has plenty going for it. Include luxury beachfront property at easy investment prices and the ADIT slogan says it all - north east Brazil is definitely "a great place to live and an excellent place to invest".
