On my visits to the US, I have often admired some of the fabulous active adult and retirement communities, complete with golf courses, hotels, club houses, even village churches! We have nothing like this here in the UK - I don't think think we have enough available land to even contemplate building on such a scale. However, I have recently heard about a company which is starting to build communities for people of age fifty plus, who are wishing to pursue active lifestyles in the warmer climate of Southern Europe.
Village Vita Communities is currently in negotiation to build several large, community-based developments in Cyprus, Spain and Portugal and the company is expecting to announce their finalised plans within the next 3 months. For more information and to join their mailing list, check out:
