While many Brits and those residing in other foreign countries live out the rest of their days in their homeland, a growing number are looking to seek a new retirement adventure elsewhere.
Let’s take a look at some of the key advantages to life as we know it and how our lives would change for the better, if we took the leap of faith and embarked on a journey here in the Algarve in luxury realms such as; Quinta Do Lago, Vale Do Lobo and Vilamoura. So here are the advantages of retiring abroad in the Algarve
Key takeaways:
- New experiences and cultures: With a move to a new country, comes the chance to learn new languages, experience different cultures, and enjoy a new lease of life that you might not currently have. A retirement move abroad lends itself to physical and mental health benefits that could potentially extend your life further.
- Lower cost of living: Over the years you may have put plans in place to make your dream become reality by saving enough money to consider retiring abroad. Moving to a new country with a healthy sum of money in savings is wise, but generally, the cost of living in the Algarve is much less than that in America, Great Britain, or other European countries.
- Sunshine weather: If you are planning to live out the rest of your days in the Algarve, make sure you are well prepared for year-round sunshine and warm temperatures. Wave goodbye to wind and rain, say hello to sandy beaches, and clear sea water, and relax by the pool all day, every day.
- Family environment: You may think that moving abroad means a painful goodbye to your loved ones back home, but a luxury visit a few times a year can more than makeup for the lost time. Better still, if your family is willing to come along for the ride for a permanent stay, Quinta Do Lago, Vale Do Lobo, and Vilamoura are locations that have plenty to keep you occupied and are perfect to bring up young families in the heart of luxury.
- Local support network: If you ask many expats or those who have retired abroad, they will tell you how friendly and supportive local people can be. Portugal is a predominantly Roman Catholic country with a close-knit family ethic. Residents have a particular interest in many cultural activities, indulging their appreciation of art, music, drama, and dance. Good neighbors can become good friends.
- Comfort zone and routine: While many may feel that their comfort zone is where they are currently, branching out and finding a new home could be even better. Many of us like routine and that is something that can be achieved here too. Algarve helps to build up your confidence and growth mindset, it can often be as simple as taking one baby step after another such as visiting Algarve on holiday and doing your research on areas of interest. You can choose a place that matches your comfort level in terms of modern conveniences, access, climate, activities, cuisine, healthcare, culture, and more.
- Established professional connections: Retirement is not always about winding down and stopping what you love doing. If you want to live, but also work, in Algarve’s finest towns then you could benefit from investing in other real estate properties.
