This tropical country is considered an ideal place for retirees: What is the reason
The dream of living in retirement paradise is becoming more and more real for many people. In an era of globalization and accessibility, the choice of retirement destinations is becoming more diverse. However, one place stands out in a special way: a tropical country where the temperature stays at +27°C all year round. The Express writes that many retirees are tempted to move to these countries, lured by the idea of changing the gloomy UK for a sun-drenched retirement.
The travel company International Living analyzed countries based on a number of factors to identify the perfect place to retire. The first place is taken by the paradise of Central America, which is famous for its beautiful beaches, dense greenery and rich flora and fauna, Costa Rica.
Costa Rica attracts not only retirees but also those who work remotely via the Internet and families who want to change their lifestyle. Residents of this country are considered to be among the happiest in the world.
In 2024, Costa Rica was recognized as the best place to retire because of its affordability, quality healthcare, and stunning beauty.
Costa Rica is also called the "Switzerland of Central America" because, like Switzerland, it does not maintain an army and invests in healthcare and education.
Costa Rica takes special care of nature by using renewable energy sources to generate the bulk of its electricity. More than a quarter of the country's territory is protected areas, including national parks and reserves.
The country has two types of health care: public and private. The state system, known as La Caja, is available to everyone living in the country without additional payments, regardless of age or health status.
The weather in Costa Rica is a dream come true due to its variety of climatic zones that provide a diversity of flora and fauna.
Meanwhile, the famous cruise line Royal Caribbean continues to cancel popular shore excursions. TravelWise explains why this is happening.
