Retirement Villages in Spain, Compared

The British retirement village concept finally arrived in Spain about five years ago and the building has not stopped since. Park La Posada, Luana in Estepona and Mijas, the Benalmadena over-55 resort, plus a dozen smaller managed schemes you have probably never heard of, are all targeting the same buyer. That buyer is you, probably in your early sixties, fit enough to play tennis, sensible enough to know you will not always be. The trouble is every developer's website looks the same. Glossy couple on the terrace, vague reference to wellness, no actual price for the monthly community fee, no honest answer on what happens when one of you needs nursing care. We are working through every retirement community in Spain that takes English speaking residents, asking the awkward questions. Is there a nurse on site at night. What is the buy in. What is the rent only option. What does the community fee actually cover. What happens if one of you dies and the other wants to stay. What is the resident mix, is it all Brits, or genuinely mixed. The answers are going on this site. No affiliate links to estate agents, no commission games, just the comparison you wish someone had written for you. Email below to get it first.
