Retirement is about more than buying a property. It’s about living well — having good healthcare, affordability, community, and the right pace of life. After living overseas myself and helping countless clients relocate, these are my Top 10 Retirement Destinations for 2025.
Spain will always have my heart — I lived in Marbella for five years and saw firsthand why so many retirees choose the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. Expect 300+ days of sunshine, excellent healthcare, and thriving expat communities. The Non-Lucrative Visa makes it accessible for non-EU retirees, while EU citizens have free movement.
Portugal is warm, friendly, and safe. The Algarve offers stunning coastlines, golf, and cafés, while the Silver Coast gives quieter, more affordable living. English is widely spoken in expat hubs. The D7 Visa is a simple route for retirees with passive income.
Crete, Rhodes, and the Peloponnese combine affordable homes with Mediterranean lifestyle. Retirees love the fresh food, slower pace, and historic culture. The Greek Golden Visa makes residency straightforward, and the lifestyle is priceless.
English-speaking, affordable, and sunny all year — Cyprus is a natural retirement choice. With €300k+ property you can secure Permanent Residency, while private healthcare and strong expat hubs in Limassol and Paphos make it a very easy transition.
Mexico offers retirees huge variety: the Riviera Maya for beaches, Lake Chapala for affordability, and San Miguel de Allende for history and charm. The Temporary Residency Visa (renewable to permanent) is accessible, and costs are far lower than Europe or the US.
Chiang Mai is Asia’s retiree capital — affordable, friendly, and packed with international communities. Phuket offers resort living and beautiful beaches. Thailand combines low living costs with excellent private healthcare and accessible retirement visas.
Bali has become a global wellness hub, famous for yoga, spas, and its creative expat scene. Costs are low, villas are affordable, and community is strong. Long-stay visas make it manageable, and the lifestyle is unique.
For culture, food, and “la dolce vita,” Italy is unmatched. Retirees can find affordable countryside homes in Umbria, Tuscany, or Sicily, all with great access to markets, history, and healthcare. The Elective Residency Visa is ideal for those with passive income.
The Philippines offers tropical living at very low costs. English is widely spoken, the people are warm and welcoming, and the SRRV visa makes retirement simple. Areas like Cebu and Dumaguete are expat favourites.
Antalya, Bodrum, and Fethiye are increasingly popular with retirees. Mediterranean weather, affordable property, and modern healthcare make Turkey a strong choice. Residence permits are easy to renew, and costs remain very attractive.
