I'd look into Bali. The new five year digital nomad visa means you pay no income tax. A beautiful villa is $300-600 per month. You could be working from a beach club with pool, gym, healthy restaurant and tennis court, like Titi Batu https://goo.gl/maps/KGfy6hqscZ2XKrzQ8 https://goo.gl/maps/KGfy6hqscZ2XKrzQ8 Price is very low, a 30 min taxi ride is $1.50, a main dish at a fancy restaurant is $5-7. The food is the best I've ever had, weather is wonderful, there's surfing and the people are super friendly, funny and happy. (I'm not sure about health care and education.) My second choice would probably be Lisbon.

This is over hyping Bali. Yes you can get a place for $300-$600 a month but it won't be so easy to find anything more than a single room at that price, you may get a kitchen but it takes a bit more looking depending on the area. The kitchen will be outdoors, not like a western kitchen. If you want a real "villa" with a living room then you should at least double that price, and it will be an outdoor living room, with bugs and heat. A villa with an indoor living room is quite rare. Taxi's are cheap, 30 min taxi ride is more like $3, using an app, but if you use a local taxi then $10, and it will take 30 min just to go a few kms because the traffic is so bad. The roads in Bali were not planned and many were just paths between rice fields that have been turned into a narrow two lane road. In many cases a car will have to pull over just to let through passing car past. The air quality is poor by western standards https://www.iqair.com/au/indonesia/bali https://www.iqair.com/au/indonesia/bali The beaches and not good, especially around Canggu, with black stand and trash and dog shit. The beaches down south are much better but that part of Bali is very over developed.
