11 Hippest Places to Retire in The World

3) Playa del Carmen, Mexico

If you’re into fun in the sun look no further than Playa del Carmen, Mexico, located on the eastern Yucatan peninsula. Year-round temperatures in the 80s and 90s guarantee you’ll never worry about a winter chill again. Swimming, snorkeling, and diving are abundant thanks to its prime location on the Caribbean coast. This makes Playa del Carmen a great place to retire for those who feel at home on the ocean. There’s plenty more to do once you get tired of the beach. Playa del Carmen is very developed and has all the comforts of home like high-speed internet, boutique shopping, and excellent restaurants. However, it’s relatively easy to live cheaply, especially if you like local food and purchase a home a little bit off the main strip. A big perk of retiring here is the large expat and retiree community, which means making new friends will be easy!
