SnowOnly spoke to Angel Belanche from Andorra Sotheby’s International Realty to find out who is buying in Andorra and what makes the resort so appealing for foreigner investors.

The most popular ski resorts in Andorra are Grandvalira – Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo & Encamp.

I am sure if you are reading this article that you have definitely heard of Andorra but have you taken a holiday here and experienced the exceptional skiing Andorra has to offer and would you consider investing here?

Did you know that the Principality of Andorra hosts the biggest ski resort in the South of Europe? Grandvalira has more than 300 km of ski runs and great snow quality.

Andorra held the World Ski Cup 2019 in the domain of Grandvalira and will do it again in 2023. Such exposure is great for property appreciation and rental income and the associated added infrastructure into the resort is always a welcome addition for investors and residents alike.

Andorra is arguably best known for its flexible taxation framework. If you are considering buying a ski property in Andorra, you might already know the benefits of becoming a resident in the country. As soon as you are approved to become resident, you can automatically benefit from:

  • 2% to 10% corporate rate
  • 4.5 indirect tax on goods & services
  • 0.5% to 10% personal income rate

If you have any questions regarding this then contact Angel Belanche from Andorra Sotheby’s International Realty for any questions you might have.

  • 85% of the territory is forest and 9% is UNESCO natural protected areas. 

Andorra Sotheby’s International Realty are seeing that with only approximately 5% of the territory left for developable projects, local professionals predict that the real estate prices/sqm in Andorra will only increase due to the fact that residency in the country results in great taxation benefits and the area is now limited.

The real estate market in Andorra has performed well in the last decade. Prices by €/sqm have increased around 25% and it’s believed that due to the limited area left to develop residential projects, prices will grow exponentially in the near future, especially considering the upcoming World cup skiing in 2023 and the favorable tax benefits, and of course 300km of skiing to enjoy.
