8 Countries Where You Can Live Like Royalty (5 of 5)

Mexico

With its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that Playa del Carmen is among the most popular cities in Mexico for retired Westerners who want to experience luxury living off the Caribbean Sea. There are plenty of comfortable downtown apartments that can be rented for $600/month. A middle-class dining experience costs $15. Of course, Mexico City—one of the world’s largest—is another big draw for those who want to enjoy all the finest things in life without needing to be a millionaire. One-bedroom apartments, even in a trendy district, can cost as little as $400.
