Hi All,

I currently live in New Jersey, USA. My wife and I are considering retiring in Uruguay with my wife's elderly aunt. We plan on visiting as soon as we can. We have researched, and Uruguay seems like a great place to retire. Can someone give us information on expat communities? My wife and aunt speak Spanish fluently, but I only speak English.

Thank you...

Hi djc,

There is an Uruguay expats whatsapp group which if you send me a private message, I'll send you the contact so you can be added. The group is mostly located in the Punta del Este area which is where many expats gravitate to. You are lucky to have Spanish speakers in your family. That will make your life much easier.

Cheers

Hello, my family and I are planning on moving to the Punta del Este area towards the end of '25. Would you be willing to share this whatsapp group? We are currently looking on how to find a place to live there. Rental? Airbnb? Etc.

A while ago, I searched AirB&B and VRBO (I've never used either) and came across a listing titled "Entire home in Neptunia, Uruguay" and it was listed for $55/night and accommodates 6 people! But only 1 bathroom - maybe that's why it's so cheap.

The dates I entered were April 20, 2025 to April 25, 2025 which I just picked out of thin air. Not sure if it's still there, but the owner had very good reviews.
