Many older adults dream of retiring in a warm, sunny paradise, and with Casa Linda, you can make this dream a reality! Retiring in the Dominican Republic offers a great opportunity to learn about a new culture and spend your golden years living “life tranquilo.”

However, many older adults may hesitate at the idea of picking up and retiring to a foreign country, with personal safety as a big concern. You likely wonder: is the Dominican Republic safe for someone of retirement age? Is my villa protected from security threats? Below, we’ll discuss a few reasons why the DR and our community at Casa Linda are safe places to spend your retirement years. Keep reading!

Why Retiring in the Dominican Republic is Safe

The idea of moving to a new country can be daunting, especially where your personal safety is concerned. Older adults with limited mobility, hearing or sight impairment, or similar ailments may be particularly cautious about moving to an unfamiliar region. However, you can put your worries at bay with the DR! Here are a few reasons why the Dominican Republic is a great choice for a safe Caribbean retreat:

Secure Government: The Dominican Republic operates under a longstanding democracy and has a system similar to the United States. The country is also actively working to implement more avenues for education, investment, and overall modern advancement to improve our way of life.

No Hurricanes: A common misconception about the Caribbean is that all areas are prone to hurricanes. However, the Cabarete area (where our villas are located) is protected from hurricanes due to its geographic layout. You and your loved ones can rest assured that your villa won’t be affected by such natural disasters!

A Welcoming Attitude Towards Expats:  While North American retirees may be anxious about how they’ll be received in certain parts of the world, in the DR, we welcome newcomers with open arms! The attitude towards American and Canadian expats is largely positive, which can provide an added sense of security when entering a foreign land.

Overall, the Dominican Republic is known as a safe and secure place to live. It’s recommended that you simply take the same safety precautions you would at home, such as not walking alone late at night, locking your car, and not flaunting valuables in public. By following standard safety protocols, you can enjoy life in the DR worry-free!
