Maceio is New Hotspot for Brazil Property Investment

As the largest city in the province of Alagoas, Maceio is emerging as the ‘Next Big Thing’ in Brazil property investment says Obelisk.

Maceio is forecast for significant growth in travel and tourism, promising to become a top destination for Brazil property investment. High quality developments are on the increase adding to Maceio’s strong and dynamic real estate market and the thoughtful planning of the urbanisation of Maceio, is expected to push up property prices in the near future.

Tim comments, “We are very excited about the city of Maceio in terms of profitable property investment. As a newly discovered gem in the Brazil property investment market, the existence of a substantial domestic and growing international tourism, maintains the economic stability and presents a promising investment climate for the buy-to-let investor.”

The Guaxuma neighbourhood in Maceio is a quiet and exclusive area, characterized by outstanding beaches and luxury family villas. It was recently given approval for occupancy by the city zoning board, which plans to organise development of the area preserving the quality of the local environment.

The charming yet sophisticated city of Maceio has an established infrastructure and a variety of public services including high quality medical services, leisure, and sports facilities, along with a superb variety of bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and concerts providing lively nightlife and entertainment.

The city caters well for both internal and external tourism and the convention centre draws both long and short stay business travellers, who provide continuous inflow of occupancy within the city’s hotel and rental accommodation.

Maceio is regarded as one of the best coastlines in northeastern Brazil, and according to globalsurfers.com, is considered to be the second best beach break in the country. One of the main attractions is the natural clear lagoons which are found all along the coast, providing excellent conditions for all types of water sports.

In June 2007, Abraão Moura, President of the Brazilian Travel Agents Association confirmed that despite recent investments in Maceio including, the airport extension, new convention centre, and infrastructure improvements, tourism must remain top priority aiding to the appeal of Brazil property investment in Maceio.


In 2004 a US $100 million investment was made for the development of the Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport included a new passenger terminal and extended runway systems. The airport currently operates domestic flights all across Brazil with an increasing number of international flights which in 2006 hiked passenger numbers up to 870,000. The extension of the airport means it is now able to receive a substantial number of direct international flights from Europe and the United States.
Additionally, it is the only international airport in the northeast with available land up to 100 km from the airport, prime for real estate and tourist development.

Tim vanDijk Project Manager at Obelisk adds, “The northeast of Brazil is the closest point to Europe from Latin America, with flight times only around 7 to 8 hours from central Europe. This makes it one of the nearest truly exotic locations for Europeans. Due to the stable weather conditions and extended season of the area, Maceio also enjoys the benefits of year-round tourism.”

A substantial portion of the 186 million Brazilians choose the northeast region as their destination of choice and have done so for decades. Increasing numbers of international tourists come to take advantage of the idyllic and relaxing natural beauty of the coastline, the extensive tourist attractions.
