When choosing a country for retirement, key considerations remain climate, stability, and quality of life. However, for investors looking at long-term prospects, strategic factors also come into play: a reliable jurisdiction should combine personal comfort with institutional resilience. In this regard, Dominica stands out as one of the most balanced jurisdictions in the Caribbean, having reaffirmed its appeal in 2025. Thanks to a favourable tax regime, a transparent economic citizenship programme, and a high level of safety, it remains a sound choice for affluent retirees and strategically-minded investors alike.
World’s Best Places to Retire in 2025
In CEOWORLD Magazine’s June 2025 Best Countries for Retirement index, Dominica ranked 16th globally and led all Caribbean nations. It placed ahead of Italy (17th), Belize, Mexico, and Greece. Ranked alongside the United Arab Emirates (15th), Dominica’s strong performance underscores its competitiveness as a socially and economically favourable environment for later-life living. Countries were assessed on parameters such as cost of living, quality of healthcare, level of safety, visa accessibility, and overall quality of life.
CEOWORLD Magazine itself is a respected authority among top executives, private investors, and wealth owners. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in New York, it publishes content for senior decision-makers — from CEOs and CFOs to managing partners and family office heads. CEOWORLD is widely known for its industry rankings and strategic analysis, often referenced in business consulting, analytics, and international tax planning. The publication not only tracks trends but actively shapes the agenda for cross-border investments, capital movement, and jurisdiction selection.
Dominica’s strong position in this ranking reinforces its reputation not only as a desirable lifestyle destination but also as a platform for thoughtful investment and citizenship diversification.
Dominica offers more than just a location with an attractive climate — it provides a well-regulated framework for capital investment, where personal interests align with legal and macroeconomic stability.
A key tool is the country’s citizenship by investment programme, which allows investment in government-approved real estate. One such project is Anichi Resort & Spa, a premium resort under the Autograph Collection by Marriott brand.
Advantages of investing in the project:
Citizenship eligibility: Anichi Resort & Spa is on the government-approved list for the programme. Investors and their families can obtain citizenship in a fully regulated and well-regarded jurisdiction. The programme has no age restrictions for the primary applicant, making it especially attractive to mature investors. Parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents aged 65 and older can also be included.
Long-term capital protection: Despite a fixed investment threshold (as per programme conditions), the asset retains value, being denominated in US dollars, located in a scarce Caribbean market, and integrated into an international hotel brand.
Passive income: annual payments are made already during the construction phase of Anichi Resort & Spa and continue after the opening, calculated based on the resort’s operating performance.
For those considering alternative citizenship, this is not just an investment in a resort asset — it is a means of providing diversified opportunities for themselves and their families, including relocation, education, and healthcare in a stable jurisdiction.
A comfortable retirement is the result of well-considered investment decisions.
Dominica’s place in the global retirement rankings reflects deeper structural advantages:
High safety standards: One of the lowest crime rates in the region.
Stable economy and affordable cost of living: Housing rents remain among the lowest in the Caribbean, particularly outside the capital. Combined with affordable food, services, and healthcare, Dominica is an attractive option for those on a fixed income.
Favourable tax environment: No inheritance, gift, wealth, or foreign income taxes.
Healthy climate and pristine environment: The government actively invests in green energy and eco-tourism. Dominica is a lush island with numerous nature reserves, hot springs, and unspoilt beaches. Unique marine life and abundant thermal springs provide further opportunities for wellbeing and relaxation. An active lifestyle — from diving and hiking to outdoor yoga — is part of daily life here.
Developing healthcare system: Public and private clinics receive sustainable funding.
These factors make Dominica not just an investment opportunity, but a jurisdiction where investors are willing to build long-term strategies — for themselves and their families.
Selecting a country for retirement is increasingly part of a broader strategy: ensuring flexibility, financial predictability, and legal certainty. Dominica combines institutional maturity with high quality of life — offering not only an appealing retirement option but also opportunities for strategic capital positioning. For those wishing to combine personal comfort with prudent capital management, Dominica remains the leading destination in the Caribbean for 2025.
