Monaco Real Estate Guides

You’ve heard about off-market properties in Monaco and want to know how to access them. This guide explains the concept: properties that are never publicly advertised and are offered exclusively to qualified buyers, reportedly accounting for between 20% and 30% of transactions in such a tightly constrained market. You’ll discover the different forms of discreet sales and the key players involved, from notaries to family offices, as well as the three practical steps to gain access: preparing a strong buyer profile, entering the right network, and viewing and negotiating properties with complete confidentiality. You’ll also find an often-overlooked trade-off: off-market opportunities prioritise discretion and early access, but do not necessarily offer the best price compared with searching the public market. If you want to sell your own property off-market, our dedicated guide explains the process from the seller’s perspective.

Discover Mareterra, Monaco’s new district, inaugurated in December 2024 on six hectares of land reclaimed from the sea. Designed by Renzo Piano, Foster + Partners, and Michel Desvigne, it has expanded the Principality’s territory by more than 3%. This guide explores prices, ranging from €100,000 to €130,000 per square meter, the types of properties available, from studios to villas and everyday life in the district, including restaurants, waterfront promenades, and the Blue Grotto. It also puts a rarely discussed figure into perspective: Mareterra’s most prestigious residence could potentially surpass Monaco’s previous record property, the penthouse at the Tour Odéon, although no confirmed transaction has yet made it possible to settle the question. To explore Monaco’s other neighborhoods, our dedicated guide to the Principality’s districts provides a broader overview.

You are interested in Larvotto, Monaco’s seaside district and the most expensive area of the Principality, at more than €71,000 per square metre in 2025 according to IMSEE. Here, you will find sea-view apartments, direct access to the beach, and a neighbourhood lifestyle centred around the Grimaldi Forum and the seafront promenade. This guide details prices by property type, from studios to penthouses exceeding 250 m², as well as everyday amenities including schools, shops, healthcare, and transport. You will also discover Larvotto Beach itself, which is open to the public 24 hours a day, as well as the protected marine reserve bordering the district. To compare it with the other districts of the Principality, our dedicated guides provide detailed insights into each one.

You are interested in La Condamine, the port district between the Rock and Monte Carlo, combining shops, residential properties, and a lively neighbourhood atmosphere. Prices are around €53,800 per square metre, significantly below Monte Carlo, with a stable market and strong rental demand. This guide takes you through the La Condamine property market, Port Hercule, historic façades, and local specialities such as barbajuans and socca. You will also discover everyday life in the neighbourhood, its shops and schools, as well as the key considerations for seasonal rentals, which are subject to prior authorisation. To compare it with the other districts of the Principality, our dedicated guides provide detailed insights into each one.

You’re interested in Fontvieille, the waterfront district built on reclaimed land in the 1970s. It is one of the more accessible areas of Monaco, with prices ranging from €45,000 to €65,000 per square metre, reaching up to €95,000 for a sea-view penthouse. This guide takes you beyond the figures: the marina, the Prince’s car collection, Princess Grace Park, and a neighbourhood designed around shops, schools and healthcare services, all within walking distance. You’ll also find current rental prices, around €80 to €95 per square metre per month, as well as the reasons why some buyers prefer this peaceful neighbourhood to the hustle and bustle of Monte-Carlo while still enjoying life in Monaco. To compare Fontvieille with the other districts of the Principality, our dedicated guides provide an in-depth overview of each one.

You are looking for a villa in Monaco, and you quickly discover that the supply is concentrated in a few specific districts: Mareterra leads the way, followed by Jardin Exotique and Moneghetti. Prices in Mareterra can reach up to €120,000 per square metre, among the highest in the Principality. This guide details the architectural features buyers are looking for, including infinity pools, smart home technology, and high-end materials, as well as the regulatory framework governing purchases. You will also find an important reality to keep in mind: villas and houses account for only a tiny share of the Principality’s annual property transactions. When a villa is not available, our dedicated guides to mansions and houses explore the available alternatives.

Are you looking for a mansion in Monaco, but struggling to find anything that truly fits the description? That’s perfectly normal: with a territory of just 2 square kilometres, space is extremely limited, leaving little room for large properties with private gardens. This guide explores the alternatives buyers are turning to instead: penthouses with panoramic terraces, duplexes with private pools, and, above all, Mareterra, Monaco’s new waterfront district built on reclaimed land. It is the only place in the Principality where you can find genuine villas with private gardens without leaving Monaco. You’ll also discover the neighbouring towns of Cap-d’Ail, Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, where larger properties and more outdoor space become available just minutes from Monaco. To explore the villas currently available or discover the Mareterra development in greater detail, our dedicated guides provide an in-depth look at each option.

You are looking for a house in Monaco, and you quickly discover that the supply is limited to a few specific districts: La Condamine, Fontvieille, Jardin Exotique, Monaco-Ville, and Moneghetti. This guide gives you the missing benchmark: newly built houses sold for an average of €36.4 million in 2024 and represent only a tiny fraction of the Principality’s roughly 490 to 500 annual transactions. You will also find a three-step search method and the criteria that matter to buyers today: outdoor spaces, privacy, and energy efficiency. For mansions and exceptional properties, our dedicated guide explores the alternatives when Monaco itself has none to offer.
