Against an uncertain political and economic backdrop, we’ve challenged our global network of researchers and agents to handpick the resorts, neighbourhoods or villages that they think are the ones to watch over the next five years.

In some cases, regeneration and transport links are expected to spur on prices; in others, new universities and tech hubs are set to stimulate demand; while elsewhere, value opportunities are surfacing and confidence returning as prices bottom out.

With future hotspots high on the wish list of investors and journalists alike, we’ve redoubled our efforts this year, identifying 40 markets rich in potential worldwide. Showcasing their local knowledge, our contributors also share their favourite haunts in each one, from coffee shops to spas, from parks to the perfect après-ski stop-off. We hope you enjoy the whistle-stop tour.
