No smartphones, no laptops, no interruptions... island living is closer than you think. Altough some destinations are more affordable than others. If you really are looking to retire on an island, according to International Living, these are the most stunning – and cheap – islands to move to. Roatan, Honduras, a small island with only 31 miles long and 5 miles across, with a small close knit community of 28,000 citizens. Honduras’s native language is Spanish, but most people speak English because of its bonds to Colonial United Kingdom. Simple distractions such as sunbathing, scuba diving, lying on a hammock with a good book, or walking through the mangrove forests are all popular daytime activities. While a retirement visa on Roatan requires you have at least around 1300€ each month, a couple could live easily with 1.000€ per month here. Isla Mujeres, Mexico, this island is no longer a hidden treasure, access to and from the island is provided by high-speed ferries that keeps a regular schedule between several terminals in the mainland city of Cancún.

Bocas del Toro, Panama, is a group of islands. The main island is Isla Colon, where many expats live and have businesses.
