Project description
Andorra for high net worth individuals
Andorra is certainly not on the radar for most high net worth individuals when it comes to choosing a home base. There is no reason for this apart from the fact that Andorra has been Europe’s best kept secret. Only in recent years Andorra has caught more attention and family offices around the world start suggesting it as the perfect option for those that wish to combine safe and clean mountain surroundings with Mediterranean lifestyle.
Living in Andorra is very different from places such as Monaco or Dubai. The country is quiet, and the hustle and bustle is more than 2 hours away in such cities such as Barcelona. However, Andorra should not be underestimated. There are many reasons, why Andorra should not be underestimated. “Mountains with style” will surprise you with several superlatives such as Europe’s highest golf court, one of Europe’s biggest spas and the biggest ski resort in the Pyrenees. Furthermore, the high quality of life makes it a wonderful place to live for locals and foreigners alike. Who would not want to enjoy an almost crime less country with a stable economy and good health care facilities?
Affordable yet luxurious real estate is another plus. Andorra offers high net worth individuals a variety of comfortable flats, chalets and houses. High living standards, political stability, healthy climate and one of the highest life expectancies worldwide speak for themselves. No wonder, these reasons have already attracted famous football players as well as formula one pilots to relocate to the Principality.
