Islands.com has named the top 10 islands to retire in for 2015. The travel site named Cebu Island, Philippines as its number four choice. The report says:
The Philippines government encourages retirement here for anyone who can sustain themselves. Low housing and other costs (even lower in Cebu than in Manila), plus a favourable exchange rate, mean that’s almost everyone. Cebu City is the Philippines’ oldest city, but it has modern conveniences, with beaches and mountains both close at hand. English is widely understood here, and the people are unfailingly optimistic.
The complete top 10:
1. Malta
2. Kauai, Hawaii
3. Bacos del Toro, Panama
4. Cebu, Philippines
5. Belize
6. Isla Mujeres, Mexico
7. Roatan, Honduras
8. Cypress, Greece
