Montanita & Olon Properties

Ecuador´s Finest Oceanfront Real Estate

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. If you want to learn more about Olón Real Estate and its lifestyle, check out this complete guide about Olón in Ecuador.
