The world’s best buys on beachfront property in 2021 are to be found in Northern Cyprus, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Belize. These are the findings of our 2021 Global Property Survey, the index we produce each year detailing what it costs to own property in the world’s top locations for living or retiring overseas.
