Tax-Friendly Living Meets Tropical Paradise

In partnership with

Hey there future tropical homeowner!

If last week was about flipping the script on your budget, this one’s about flipping the view. From the breezy sands of Pedasí, where small-town charm and STR potential are quietly booming, to the rainforest ridges above Uvita, where the jungle hums and the Whale’s Tail glows below, Central America keeps revealing just how much “better living” your dollar can buy. Out west in Chiriquí, we visit a beach home at Playa La Barqueta that looks like an undiscovered Pacific gem minutes from David but worlds away from noise.

These aren’t just listings, they’re invitations to reimagine what a home can do for you. Whether that means rental income while you travel, morning hikes with volcano views, or afternoons that end in the ocean instead of traffic, each of these spots has something in common: they make life simpler, sunnier, and a little more your own.

So pour a coffee (or something stronger), and let’s see what your next chapter might look like.

But before we begin, we have started partnering with other organizations to help offset the costs associated with making TropiCasas, so kindly consider checking out this week’s partner - every click helps!👇🏼
