Belize Retirement: Why Choose Belize

After years of dedicating your life to your job and to upbringing your family, now is the time for you to relax and live your life the way you have always wanted to, the question is, where should you go?

Of course you have the option to stay exactly where you are and live the rest of your life doing generally the same thing but perhaps you would want to live it out, somewhere new, somewhere you can enjoy your golden years in peace and tranquility yet find enjoyment whenever you feel like it.

If you are looking for a tropical paradise, rich in culture and lush forestry then perhaps you are looking for a Belize retirement. The country is lush with rainforests, Mayan ruins as well as sandy beaches that lines its coast. Aside from these beautiful and culture rich spots, the country is also rich with friendly people who’s always ready to welcome new residents.

Why Belize?

If you are not familiar, then you might be asking why choose Belize as your retirement spot? Belize is actually becoming a retirement haven for many Americans, since aside from the fact that the country has a low cost of living, the country actually offers an incentive to expats who wish to make Belize their retirement place, The Retirement Persons Incentive Program.  The program has an easy application process and minor requirements and once you fill it, you can easily take advantage of the program.

Aside from this incentive, Belize is also a very accessible country, there are a number of flights that go to and fro from Belize and you can easily hop from Belize to the US, if you suddenly miss family and want to visit, or you can have the family visit you there as well.  

Belize has a laidback lifestyle making it an ideal place to live in as well as retire in. If you want to swim, then the sandy beaches along Belize’s coastline will surely satisfy you, diving or snorkeling can take you to Belize reef, a 300 km long barrier reef connected to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, and home to 36 soft corals, 70 hard, around 500 fish species and a host of invertebrates, you will surely enjoy diving and snorkeling here.  If you want to imbue on culture, then spend time in the Mayan ruins or perhaps a visit with the locales can satisfy your cravings. Perhaps you’d rather spend the day in your back porch just relaxing and enjoying the view, then you can easily do so as well.

So regardless of what you want, an adventure in the ocean, a journey through old culture or just sit back and relax, Belize retirement has got it all for you.
