With its miles of inviting Caribbean beaches, turquoise water, and astonishing coral reefs.. and its thick jungles where jaguar and scarlet macaw still live among hidden Mayan ruins.. Belize might just be the perfect tropical paradise.

This English-speaking country, just across Mexico’s southeastern border, also offers attractive incentives to retirees looking to live here, and its far-thinking banking laws assure secure banking privacy.

Though Belize is not the most affordable place to buy property in Central America, this country offers economic stability and a cost of living that, while not dirt-cheap, is nevertheless a good value when you compare it to that of other Caribbean retreats.
