Hidden Gem Retirement Destinations for 2025

Looking to retire abroad in 2025? From Portugal and Spain to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Dubai, explore the best destinations offering sunshine, affordable living, excellent healthcare, and flexible visa programs for retirees.

Your insider guide from International Property Alerts: where value, lifestyle, and opportunity meet.

When people think of retiring abroad, the same names always come up: Portugal, Spain, and Mexico. But for retirees who want something affordable, authentic, and a little off the beaten path, there are hidden gems that deserve serious attention in 2025.

Here are IPA’s top picks:

montenegro

🇲🇪 Montenegro

A rising star in the Balkans, Montenegro offers stunning Adriatic coastlines, mountain living, and affordable property. English is increasingly spoken, healthcare is improving, and the country is on track for EU membership in the coming years — making it a strong long-term bet.

🇨🇷 Northern Cyprus

Less commercial than the south, Northern Cyprus is a Mediterranean retreat with low property prices, beautiful beaches, and a slower pace of life. Retirees benefit from a very low cost of living and welcoming communities, though international recognition can complicate legal processes.

nicaragua

🇨🇷 Nicaragua (Granada & San Juan del Sur)

For those seeking Central American charm at a fraction of Costa Rica’s cost, Nicaragua is a hidden treasure. Colonial towns like Granada and coastal hubs like San Juan del Sur combine affordability, culture, and emerging expat networks.

🇪🇨 Ecuador (Cuenca)

Known for its spring-like climate and affordability, Cuenca is a UNESCO city with beautiful architecture, excellent healthcare, and a welcoming expat community. A pensioner visa makes residency straightforward, and everyday living costs are among the lowest in Latin America.

🇹🇷 Turkey (Antalya & Fethiye)

Turkey offers Mediterranean living at a fraction of the cost of Spain or Italy. Towns like Antalya and Fethiye are favourites with retirees for their seaside lifestyle, excellent food, and affordable property. A residency permit is straightforward, and healthcare is high-quality and inexpensive.

🇲🇦 Morocco (Essaouira)

Just a short hop from Europe, Morocco offers exotic charm, affordability, and mild year-round weather. Essaouira in particular has a relaxed vibe, historic medina, and growing expat community. It’s ideal for retirees seeking culture and adventure with easy access back to Europe.

📝 Key Takeaway

Hidden gems like Montenegro, Northern Cyprus, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Turkey, and Morocco offer affordable property, rich culture, and growing expat communities. For retirees who want more than the usual destinations, these countries provide lifestyle and investment opportunities at a fraction of the cost.
