Chile resort real estate: why it's worth investing now.

In May 2024, the Chilean government officially announced the construction of a new international airport in the Valparaíso region.

The project involves a large-scale reconstruction and expansion of the Viña-del-Mar aerodrome, located in the Concón area. It is slated to begin receiving both domestic and international flights as early as 2027. This is the first such project in the country in the last 12 years, and it promises to be a driver of growth for the tourist and investment attractiveness of the entire region.

The airport is designed to handle 900,000 passengers per year. With its launch, Viña-del-Mar – the country’s main resort city and a city with a population of over 500,000 – will be at the center of attention for travelers and investors.

Against the backdrop of the upcoming increase in tourist traffic, it is logical to consider purchasing real estate in the region as a promising investment. Residential complexes that are currently under construction are of particular interest. They offer the opportunity to enter the project with minimal investment and exit with a profit or completed property in one of the most comfortable and warm corners of South America.

Below are three projects that we have selected as the most advantageous in terms of price, location, and investment potential. All of them are available for booking today.
