Caribbean Region

This is a big region made up of thousands of islands and some coastal areas on the Caribbean Sea. Most of the islands were (and some still are) parts of European nations at some point in time. The weather is hot, the water clear and the cultures diverse. With so many to choose from the possibilities are endless. We offer just a few to consider.

Bahamas
There is a strong tourist presence in a lot of the Bahamas but that also means there is a lot to do. With crystal-clear waters, hot, sunny weather and so much beauty in the landscape this could be the ideal place to retire.

Honduras
Honduras is for retirees who don't need the big-city amenities offered by more "tourist" type areas in other Caribbean locations. It is very quiet, without much to do but offers an exceptional climate, beautiful landscapes and inexpensive living.
