Known for its glitz, glamour, and unmatched lifestyle, Monaco is one of the most prestigious property markets in the world. Nestled along the French Riviera, the Principality of Monaco is not only a global hub for wealth and luxury living, but also a highly attractive destination for investors and international buyers seeking long-term value, security, and tax efficiency.
Despite its compact size of just over 2 square kilometres, Monaco property for sale continues to command record-breaking prices due to limited supply, global demand, and a reputation for safety and sophistication. Whether you're looking for a waterfront apartment, penthouse suite, or secure investment, this article offers a guide to navigating the Monaco real estate market — and how Fraser Bond can assist at every step.
Monaco offers no income tax, wealth tax, or capital gains tax for residents (excluding U.S. citizens), making it a highly attractive destination for high-net-worth individuals and international businesspeople.
Monaco is renowned for its safety, with one of the highest police-to-resident ratios in the world. The principality enjoys political neutrality, economic strength, and a stable financial sector.
Residents enjoy access to Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury shopping, world-class events (such as the Monaco Grand Prix and Yacht Show), and a Mediterranean climate — all within a tax-friendly, secure environment.
With limited land and continuous demand from ultra-wealthy buyers, Monaco’s property prices have shown long-term resilience and steady appreciation, even during global downturns.
The beating heart of the principality — home to the famed Casino de Monte-Carlo, luxury boutiques, and landmark properties like Le Métropole and One Monte-Carlo. Ideal for lifestyle buyers seeking prestige.
Renowned for its beachfront properties and modern residential developments, Larvotto is popular among families and those seeking sea views, wellness amenities, and outdoor living.
