The landscape - Panama has something for everyone.  There are beaches on the Pacific great for surfing and fishing and on the Caribbean with their amazing carols for scuba.  The mountain areas in Boquete and Cerro Azul full of ranches for those who want to ride horses while admiring the view in much cooler climates.

Healthcare - Panama has best clinics and hospitals in Latin America and far cheaper than the UK private health cost.

Residency Visa - Put simply, Panama wants UK expats to relocate, which is why they make the visa process as simple as possible.  There are low requirements for minimum income or you can buy a property for an investor visa.  Either way, getting a residency vias in Panama to very easy for UK citizens.
