The following places not only offer the necessities, but also unique activities to match your lifestyle and welcoming communities to share them with. From Panama's laid-back Bocas del Toro to Malaysia's foodie paradise George Town to Malta's cultural gem Valletta, here are some of the best places to retire for soaking up new experiences.

Retiree Havens for Active Lifestyles

01 Free Spirits' Escape

GIG HARBOR, WASHINGTON

"An active small-town feel where conversations flow freely and neighbors wave hello," is how this peaceful town on the Puget Sound describes itself. For lovers of independent bookstores, quirky art galleries, farm-to-table restaurants and water activities, this spot has it all and some of the best views of majestic Mount Rainier.

02 Seaside Style

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA

The upscale Florida hotspot has long drawn celebrities to its pristine beaches, premier golf courses, private clubs, high-end shopping and decadent dining experiences. Designed by "society architect" Addison Mizner, the entire town feels like a posh resort. Plus: For those looking to explore nearby cities like Miami and West Palm Beach, a high-speed train is set for completion this summer.

03 Relaxed Relocation

BOCAS DEL TORO, PANAMA

Looking to slow down? This Caribbean coastal town is known for both its laid-back lifestyle and welcoming local and expat beach bums. The Panamanian government offers a "pensionado visa," granting foreigners residency as long as they have pension income, as well as benefits like deals on transportation, medicine and entertainment.

Jesse Williams

FOR HOTEL COSTIERA, JESSE WILLIAMS WAS DRAWN TO MAKING “SOME- thing that’s global.” The new Prime Video series stars Williams as Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who returns home to Italy to work at a hotel, only to find himself tasked with finding the missing daughter of the hotel’s owner. While he has “no complaints” filming in Positano paradise, “I tried to stay rela- tively disciplined, but I ate a lot of pasta and bread.” Of the character, he related to his duality. “I don’t really say I’m half anything,” he notes. “That has to have found itself stewing in something Daniel De Luca is dealing with.” The series represents a new phase for Williams, taking creative control as a producer. “It certainly feels good...to bet on you in the same way you're trying to bet on your- self.” After leaving his role on Grey’s Anatomy, his first move was a deliberate challenge, Broadway, and now this, raising the stakes by creating an original show. “Like, it’s really trying to forge something new in a space.” But ultimately, it’s all about the process. “I love the collaboration that exists in our business.”
