Discover Latin American Retirement Communities
Luxury resort and retirement communities in Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico and Panama are not only for retirees. In fact, they're also ideal destinations for those who want to relocate and continue to work remotely from their new upscale Latin America communities.
Why choose to live in a Latin American community?
Have you long dreamed of living in a seaside home or condominium where the days are always sunny? And where you can play golf, go fishing or hike a wilderness trail anytime you want? And where the living costs are low, but the quality of local healthcare is high? And perhaps most importantly, where real estate prices are very affordable and tax breaks are offered to those who make the move? That dream is a reality in modern Latin American retirement and residential communities
What are the benefits of living in a Latin American community?
- Belize. English is the official national language in Belize, where new resort and retirement communities have been built in recent years along the beautiful Caribbean oceanfront. Best of all for new residents age 45 and older, Belize does not tax any income from sources outside of the country. Exploring ancient Mayan temples and and sport fishing around the many offshore islands are popular year-round activities.
- Costa Rica. In addition to being Central America's oldest democracy, Costa Rice has a thriving economy and a world-class healthcare system. Cell-phone and Internet connections are fast and reliable, which is especially appreciated by remote workers who don't pay local income taxes on their first $100,000 earned from foreign sources. Costa Rica's model national park system includes hiking trails along unspoiled Pacific beaches, through lush rain-forests and up to cool mountain peaks.
- Ecuador. The South American nation of Ecuador is an emerging resort and retirement destination with a long Pacific Ocean coastline, plus mountains, jungles and the famous Galapagos Islands to explore. Significantly for many new residents, Ecuador offers the region's most affordable lifestyle, including low property taxes, food costs and healthcare expenses.
- Mexico. Like the Riviera Maya on Mexico's Caribbean coast, the Los Cabos region on the country's Pacific oceanfront is home to luxurious resort and retirement communities. The year-round comfortable climate, generally low living costs, high-quality healthcare services and access to top-flight recreational amenities make the Mexican Pacific coast an attractive lifestyle destination for retirees and remote workers.
- Panama. With wide beaches on the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, plus a famous canal through rain-forests and highlands in between, Panama features resort and retirement in a variety of locations. Healthcare is very good and affordable, while living costs are low, especially for utilities, food and the delicious locally grown coffee. Importantly for remote workers, Panama City is an international hub of cultural and business activities.
