In the United States, the latest trend in retirement communities is undergoing development in Florida. Not far from the raucous Daytona Beach, home of rowdy spring break celebrations and biker gatherings, Canadian developer Minot is building a massive managed retirement community branded under the Margaritaville imprint created by the legendary singer Jimmy Buffett.

The Margaritaville community will be heavily branded with the lifestyle imagery created by Buffett, including a Five O’Clock Somewhere bar dispensing Landshark beer on tap along with margaritas, a Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant serving sponge cake and conch fritters, and a shuttle ride to a beach club located off the property, and you can probably guess the playlist at these establishments.                                                                                                                                                                                                             As enticing as all this may sound, there is a better and more authentic beachfront retirement option waiting for you in Costa Rica where getting your residency is a breeze.

Located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Los Sueños Resort and Marina is one of the most luxurious places to retire in the Americas. Seamlessly blending exclusive real estate with world-class amenities, Los Sueños is a community anchored by one of the largest marinas in Central America , beautiful Luxury Condos, The Marriott Hotel and Resort, and central Costa Rica’s only championship golf course.

Los Sueños real estate consists of various enclaves featuring spectacular homes that provide extraordinary views of the resort, golf course, a surrounding rainforest nature preserve, and the Pacific Ocean. From the elegant townhomes at Marbella to the condos at Alta Vista and Del Mar, most of Los Sueños real estate offerings, including Altamira’s luxurious Montebello, afford both marina and ocean views.

Unlike residents of Margaritaville, who need to wait on a shuttle to transport them to Daytona Beach, residents of Los Sueños can walk down to their very own private beach club, where they can expect to be pampered. There’s even a glitzy casino to visit as well as quite a few restaurants, cafés, and beach bars to enjoy at the stylish Marina Village.

The private marina at Los Sueños features 200 deepwater slips plus a few charter operations that cater to world class sport fishing enthusiasts. At this marina, you will find all the yachting and charter services you’ll need to make this exclusive address your home away from home.

In the end, Los Sueños in Costa Rica offers a luxurious and genuine experience for those who are in search of the ultimate in luxury retirement lifestyle.
