Overlooked Costa Rica: Life on the Caribbean Coast

Discover a more bohemian vibe, and an even more affordable life along the turquoise waters and white sands of Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast

But that’s not all...

Join Us to Discover What Makes Costa Rica the Easiest Place on the Planet to Retire... and One of The Most Desirable Retirement Havens, too

Imagine swapping the stresses of life in the States for sunset cocktails along golden beaches… where the warm, tropical breeze carries the tantalizing smell of freshly grilled seafood…

… listening to the morning chitter-chatter of capuchin monkeys from the terrace of your cloud forest villa. Breakfast is locally sourced coffee and avocado toast with fresh avocados you picked from the tree at the bottom of your garden…

… Lakeland adventures with new friends… kayaking, fishing, windsurfing, hiking, exotic birds and monkeys spotting… the choice is yours…

Costa Rica can be all this and more.

It’s close to home, just 3 hours from the U.S. … it’s got a near-perfect climate that you can enjoy year-round… world-class, affordable healthcare close at hand … it’s safe and politically stable (no standing army—and no need for one)…

And best of all, you’ll find here great values day-to-day. A couple can live comfortably on a monthly budget of $2,200 a month or less.

There’s so much waiting for you in Costa Rica… new experiences… new places… new adventures… new friends… even new wealth… it’s an easy, proven overseas retirement haven worth exploring.

That’s why we’ve created our Retire to Costa Rica Summit. You’ll hear from people who have already built their dream lives in Costa Rica. And we’ll bring you insights and guidance from our experts on the ground there.
