Walking with Maggie. Last updated 2 November 2026.

25 Warm Places to Retire After 60 is general information to help you build a shortlist and plan a scouting visit. Please read this before you rely on anything in it.

Not professional advice

The guide is not tax, legal, immigration, financial, insurance or medical advice, and Maggie is not your adviser. Every situation is different. Before you move, sign a lease, buy property, apply for a visa or change where you pay tax, confirm the details with the consulate or official body concerned and with a qualified professional in that country and in your own.

Figures change

Every figure in the guide was checked against a named source in November 2026. Visa income floors, tax rules, exchange rates, rents, prices and flight schedules change, sometimes quickly. Where sources disagreed, the guide prints a range or says to confirm. Monthly budgets are estimates of a typical cost of living, not quotes. Flight times are typical scheduled times and should be checked against current schedules.

No promises about a place

Weather, safety, healthcare access and the feel of a town vary by neighbourhood and season. The guide tells you the honest downside it found for each town, but it cannot know your needs. Visit, and rent before you buy.

Photographs

The town photographs are real images of each place from Wikimedia Commons, used under their licences. See the Photo credits page. The cover art and the portrait of Maggie are created for Walking with Maggie.

No affiliation

Walking with Maggie is not paid by any town, agency, developer, insurer or visa service named in the guide.
