How to Choose The Best Retirement Resorts

By John Lawole

When you retire it seems like you have all the time in the world to have fun, and there are quite a few great retirement resorts out there. There are even people who move abroad in the attempt to escape the huge taxes, the high stress and increasing criminality rate. Which is why many towns, villages and retirement resorts have been developed in many parts of the world, particularly in Europe and the United States.

You can enjoy lots of facilities on site. 'Third age' or retirement resorts provide socializing areas, healthcare and special medical facilities, and zones maintained for sports and leisure activities. From a nice restaurant to a pleasant hour at the swimming pool, there is much you can enjoy in retirement resorts. Plus there are good properties to invest in and plenty of shopping facilities. From the economic perspective, retirement resorts have definitely got governments' attention, because lots of money can be made here.

Retirement resorts are normally located in warmer climates, which is usually the case with lots of retirement communities in the United States. Nevertheless, this is not a rule of the thumb, as some very nice retirement resorts can be found in Southern Spain, in Granada, where you have snow in the mountains and low temperatures in winter. The 320 days of sunshine thus seems a nonsense and you should be careful how you read advertisements for retirement resorts, particularly if you are keen on getting somewhere warm.

The budget, the lifestyle and the health benefits are the elements that should help you choose between several retirement resorts. The sense of community is also important, particularly if you think of becoming a permanent resident of one certain location. Social relationships and friendships are very appealing to many retirees although there are cases when the elderly show no inclination towards leaving their homes.

There are very serious issues involved when analyzing several retirement resorts in view of a possible relocation. It's not all sand, sun and socializing, as lots of difficulties may appear. First of all, you have to be sure that you really want to move away from home despite the luring promise of peace and quiet. Health insurance, health problems, distance from the family are very important related issues, not to mention the impact of the legal or tax system. - 23218
