2022.01.29

When we start approaching our Golden Years we all begin to wonder where to find the best places to retire. We begin to plan and dream about retiring in a place that has a low cost of living, excellent climate, beautiful homes, and good security.

Portugal has, for many years now, ticked all these boxes and more. Portugal has been ranked the fourth best country in the world, and first in Europe, in the “2022 Annual Global Retirement Index" developed by International Living.

A low cost of living, a good climate, a good home to live in, entertainment, and a good health system was all taken into account in the "2022 Annual Global Retirement Index"

Below is the official index posted in the article by International Living:

Portugal´s charming and vibrant cities are one of the main characteristics that distinguish it from most other countries in Europe. But, according to the publication, the best thing about living and retiring in Portugal is the warm and friendly people that make you feel welcome. This, together with the fact that most Portuguese speak a little English, makes Portugal a very attractive retirement destination for ex-pats because it makes communication easier.

Many consider the Algarve region, with its amazing coastline and world-renowned golf courses, one of the prime destinations to live and retire in Portugal. 

Retirees are spoilt for choice in Algarve; with over 30 exceptional golf courses to play a round of golf, amazing birdlife which is perfect for bird watching, kilometers and kilometers of amazing beaches to enjoy those beautiful sunsets, and many more.
