We’ve long touted the Algarve region in southern Portugal as the world’s best place to retire overseas. It has great weather and sunshine almost year-round, great beaches and golf courses, abundant options for Mediterranean dining, a big and friendly expat community, and an affordable cost of living… And while we stand by our claims about the Algarve, we’re also firm believers in thin-slicing your options. This year, we’re homing in on one corner of the Algarve that we think deserves more attention…

Our Best of Panama’s Caribbean Coast Special Report is your beginners guide to finding the best opportunities on this side of the isthmus.

From the rugged but expat-popular Bocas del Toro islands in the far west to the colonial cities of Colón and Portobelo, the Caribbean options are few but varied. This report details Panama’s best options on the Caribbean…
