What is it like to retire in Indonesia?

We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Indonesia. They said...

"Retiring in Indonesia and its surrounding areas offers retirees a wide range of activities to enjoy. Expats can find a vibrant and active community in the bigger cities like Jakarta, Bali and Batam, with a wide range of established facilities and amenities catered for them. Cultural attractions are plentiful in these areas, with traditional dance performances, ancient temples and ruins, and city tours designed for the mature traveler. Recreation can be found on the beaches, rivers, lakes and mangrove forests, or in one of the many national parks or wildlife reserves. Nightlife varies greatly, ranging from quiet café-bars to lively nightclubs found in major cities. All in all, Indonesia and its surroundings offer something for everyone, at any age," remarked another expat who made the move to Indonesia.
