When clients ask me about retirement, I always say it’s about more than buying property. It’s about community, healthcare, climate, and peace of mind. These are my top 10 retirement property picks for 2025, each chosen for lifestyle as well as practicality.
Estepona is one of my favourite Costa del Sol towns. Its promenade, old town charm, and strong healthcare access make it ideal for retirees. Apartments here are modern, close to clinics, and walkable. Spain’s Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) makes long stays easy if you meet the income thresholds.
Portugal’s Algarve is a retirement haven. Villas with space, sunshine, and sea views create an unmatched lifestyle. The D7 Visa is perfect for retirees with passive income, while the region’s healthcare system ranks among Europe’s best.
Crete’s Elounda Hills offers marina access, branded residences, and wellness facilities. It’s designed for long-term living. Greece’s Golden Visa adds a practical residency solution alongside the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Cyprus makes retirement simple: English is widely spoken, the climate is warm, and private healthcare is affordable. Limassol apartments are modern and well-connected. Invest €300,000+ and you qualify for Permanent Residency.
Bali isn’t just a holiday escape anymore. Retirees are increasingly choosing the island for its wellness culture, affordability, and growing infrastructure.
Chiang Mai has become Asia’s retirement capital. Affordable villas, an international retiree community, and excellent private healthcare make it popular. Thailand’s Retirement Visa (50+) is straightforward and affordable.
San Pedro offers a walkable, affordable lifestyle, with beaches and healthcare close by. Apartments are low-maintenance, and the expat community is welcoming. Another strong option under Spain’s NLV visa.
Italy is about lifestyle: markets, food, history, and slower living. Homes in Umbria or Sicily are affordable and charming. With the Elective Residency Visa, retirees with stable income can settle here long-term.
For tropical retirement at low cost, the Philippines is hard to beat. English is widely spoken, locals are welcoming, and the SRRV visa makes long stays simple. Villas by the coast are affordable and community-driven.
Antalya combines a Mediterranean lifestyle with affordable property. Private hospitals are excellent, and residence permits are simple to renew. Expats often base themselves in Konyaaltı or Lara, enjoying sunshine and value for money.
