The luxury property market in Monaco
The second smallest state in the world, covering just over two square kilometres, the Principality of Monaco is home to one of the most exclusive property markets on the planet. Scarce land, political stability, outstanding security and an attractive tax regime, with no personal income tax for residents (except French nationals), draw a clientele from more than one hundred and thirty nationalities. Buying a prestige property in Monaco means investing in a safe haven where prices per square metre are among the highest in the world. BARNES currently presents 67 properties for sale in the Principality.
Structurally limited supply is renewed slowly: every sea-view apartment, every penthouse and, even more so, every villa attracts international buyers, entrepreneurs, families and investors seeking both an exceptional lifestyle and the preservation of their wealth. The Mareterra offshore extension, inaugurated at the end of 2024 at the Anse du Portier, illustrates the ambition of a Principality that reclaims land from the sea to create new exceptional addresses.
Architecture and property types in Monaco
Monaco's skyline tells a century and a half of architectural history: Belle Époque villas and buildings in Monte-Carlo and Moneghetti, old pastel-fronted houses on the Rock, 1960s and 1970s residences with generous terraces, contemporary towers such as the Tour Odéon and projects by Richard Rogers or Renzo Piano. Apartments make up most of the market, from refined pieds-à-terre to large family homes and penthouses with roof terraces and pools.
Discover our luxury apartments for sale in Monaco, overlooking the sea, the harbour or the Rock. Detached houses are extremely rare in the Principality: our villas and houses for sale in Monaco are mostly located in Moneghetti, the Jardin Exotique or Saint-Roman, and rank among the most coveted properties on the Riviera.
Lifestyle in the Principality
With around 300 days of sunshine a year, Monaco offers a unique Mediterranean lifestyle combining the sea, culture and major events. The calendar is punctuated by the Monte-Carlo Rally in January, the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters in spring, the Formula 1 Grand Prix in May and the Monaco Yacht Show in September, not to mention the Opera, the Ballets and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. The Larvotto beaches, gardens, public lifts and outstanding security make it possible to do almost everything on foot, about thirty minutes from Nice airport or a few minutes by helicopter.
International schools and family life in Monaco
Monaco attracts many expatriate families. Public schools follow the French national curriculum with enhanced teaching of English and Italian, and the Lycée Albert-Ier on the Rock is its historic high school. The International School of Monaco, on Quai Antoine-Ier, offers a bilingual English-French programme, and the International University of Monaco is based in Fontvieille. Less than an hour away, the International School of Nice and Mougins School complete the Riviera's international offering.
