Check visa planning, healthcare and insurance, transport, access to medication, wet-season mobility, language support, social life, internet, property maintenance and the distance to family or international flights. Spend time in the area outside peak holiday season before buying. A single-level wellness-oriented home may suit retirement, but the surrounding routine is as important as the villa. A trial stay that includes ordinary errands is more informative than a short holiday visit. It gives the person a cleaner starting point before checking anything that may have changed.
