Montanita & Olon Properties
Olon and Montanita are two beach towns situated just 2kms apart on the Ecuador´s central coastline along the Ruta Spondylus. Olón is growing into one of the most exclusive retirement beaches on Ecuador´s coastline, while Montanita is second to none when ranking the top beach party destinations in Latin America. The two coves are separated by a large mountain, which is probably the only thing that contains the party in Montanita every Friday and Saturday night as thousands of young Guayaquil professionals, surfers and backpackers roll in every weekend to enjoy beach-style nightlife.
Well to do professionals from Guayaquil and Quito have long held vacation homes in Olón and Oloñito, but in the last 5 years, it has been discovered by expats as well. It is much smaller than cities like Bahia or Salinas and without the modern conveniences, but in terms of natural beauty and tranquility, Olón´s beaches are unparalleled.

Montanita and the surrounding small pueblos, Olon, Manglaralto, Curia, San Jose, Las Nunez and Entrada have since the late mid - 90s been a tropical escape from the hustle of Guayaquil as city dwellers discovered its pristine beaches and world class surf since named, La Punta. As more Ecuadorian's visited Montanita in the late 90s and early 2000s , the small town began to grow its reputation as a refuge for artisans and surfers to live a bohemian, carefree tropical lifestyle. Since then Montanita has grown into a vacation destination for families seeking a beautiful beach, surfers from around the world for its world class waves, and artisans and partygoers for the tropical vibe and party atmosphere that often does not end until 6 in the morning. Montanita Estates opened its first building, Nexpa, in February 2013. Since 2013, we've expanded with 5 more buildings to over 20,000 sq. ft of rooms and Villas. As part of our commitment to nature and preserving the rustic appeal of Montanita we've committed over 2 acres to our beautiful tropical garden, three pools, four jacuzzi, and rustic restaurant / lounge. Montanita Estates is the only private community inside Montanita and is perfectly positioned on a hill overlooking the town, close enough for just a short walk to the heart of the town, but far enough away to have a good night's sleep. Grounds and architectural philosophy Montanita Estates seeks to combine Montanita's tropical setting with modern architectural design that creates a fusion of the environment with modern comforts. The ME Hotel is brand new and include all the modern amenities our guests require to be comfortable on their vacation while our garden, pool, lounge, and restaurant leave visitors with the feeling of entering an Ecuadorian rainforest as soon as they reach our gates.
