This Country Was Named the No. 1 Place to Retire for Health Care, Safety, and High Life Expectancy

"Luxembourg keeps its spot at the top of the sub-index [health] with a top score in insured health expenditure and an increase of four percentage points for life expectancy,"

"For dreamers and culture vultures, there are castles and palaces, museums and countless other inspiring cultural hotspots,"

"Foodies find themselves falling helplessly in love with Luxembourg because, as the saying goes, the way to the heart is through the stomach."

Natixis' 2025 Global Retirement Index evaluated 44 developed states across affordability, healthcare, and retirement security. Luxembourg ranked first in the health sub-index for a second consecutive year based on life expectancy, insured health expenditure per capita, and out-of-pocket costs. Luxembourg scored 94 percent in the health sub-index in 2025, up from 93 percent in 2024, while its overall ranking fell to ninth from sixth. World Health Organization data show low health risks in Luxembourg, including a road traffic death rate of 3.9 per 100,000 and no cases of unintentional poisoning. Luxembourg has three official languages and about a quarter of residents reported speaking English at home in 2021.
