Mazatlán Again Named One of Top 10 World Destinations for Retirement in 2018
MAZATLÁN, Mexico (PRWEB) July 30, 2018 -- Distinguished for its enchanting mix of beautiful sandy beaches, captivating centuries-old rich culture, and abundant nightlife, Mazatlán has undergone a renaissance focused on the city’s historic center. It continues to earn top honors from independent authorities on international living and investing, and most recently received accolades from U.S. News & World Report naming it one of the top 10 places in the world to retire overseas.
“It’s a great honor being included among notable international destinations that offer compelling retirement havens,” said Marco Antonio Garcia, Secretary of Tourism for the state. “While we have always known our home is a priceless treasure, it is reassuring to know that the world is also coming to discover it as a great value. We are proud to claim a significant expatriate community that actively participates in cultural activities and spreads the word of how happy they are in our home. The message is getting out to the universe,” Garcia said.
Home to more than 12 miles of golden shoreline, Mazatlán offers idyllic year-round tropical weather, first-class amenities and infrastructure, and an active lifestyle for older adults who embrace a "young at heart" mindset. Many expats embrace living like a local, enjoying the laid-back lifestyle, and city life surrounding the Historic District's Plaza Machado, which offers magnificent sidewalk cafes, up-and-coming gastronomy, local arts and crafts and diverse theater culture.
“When considering the monthly estimated cost of living, Mazatlán rises to #3 at $1,370 monthly,” comments Sylvia Ruiz Coppel, Undersecretary of Tourism. “But perhaps most relevant, is that Mazatlán is the closest international destination to the United States, making it convenient and inexpensive to fly back home to visit friends and family or have them come to visit and share in our rich culture, fine dining and festival spirit,” she added.
U.S. News & World Report’s selection of Mazatlán as an ideal retirement choice echoes last year’s distinction in Forbes magazine calling out Mazatlán as not only a great retirement option, but also an economical vacation escape.
