"Lisbon (26th), Cascais (33rd) and Quinta do Lago (43rd) stand out on the global wealth map, according to the Savills HNWI Hotspot Index, consolidating Portugal as a benchmark for those who value quality of life, security and opportunities for economic growth," according to a statement from the company.

"Lisbon's presence in the top 30 of the Savills HNWI Hotspot Index confirms the city's international recognition as a destination of excellence. Lisbon combines history, innovation and a quality of life that is rare among major capitals, offering a unique balance between tradition, modernity and well-being. It is increasingly a global meeting point for those seeking to live, invest and grow in a safe and inspiring environment," reveals Rita Bueri, Head of Residential at Savills Lisbon, quoted in the statement.

In the same statement, the consultancy reveals that "international interest in Portugal continues to grow, particularly with the increase in the number of American buyers across Europe, who find in the country the ideal balance between lifestyle, history and culture. Portugal also remains one of the preferred destinations for Brazilians, reinforcing its position as a global benchmark for those seeking quality of life, excellent connectivity and new opportunities."

"Dubai, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi lead the Savills HNWI Hotspot Index (attached). These cities offer particularly attractive conditions for those who want to invest and do business, with legal security, high-quality education and an appealing lifestyle. Dubai leads in the offering of international schools, while Singapore and Abu Dhabi stand out for their economic competitiveness and connectivity," the same statement reads.

Now, "lifestyle plays an increasingly central role in location choice, with access to the best retail, hospitality and healthcare offerings remaining essential."

"London ranks first globally in terms of lifestyle, standing out for its unparalleled offering in retail, gastronomy, hospitality, and culture," it reads.

"The results are part of Savills' Spotlight on Wealth Trends, which presents a comprehensive view of the evolving preferences of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) worldwide," the same note says.

"The report analyses approximately 100 destinations based on five main criteria: business environment and wealth concentration, family infrastructure and costs, estate planning, lifestyle, and privacy, revealing a dynamic transformation in wealth migration patterns globally."

"Europe remains a pole of attraction for wealth, with Monaco (6th), London (10th) and Geneva (11th) occupying the top three places in the ranking. Rome (19th), Milan (23rd) and Lisbon (26th) appear as up-and-coming destinations, driven by favourable tax regimes and a high quality of life," it is further stated.
