Properties in Montanita & Olón

Beach Life
Just 2km from Ecuador’s central coastline along Ruta Spondylus are the two beach towns Olón and Montanita. Olón keeps growing as the most exclusive retirement beaches on Ecuador’s coastline; meanwhile Montanita is the top beach party destination in Latin America for surfers and young professionals on the weekends. Filled with crowded shops and restaurants Motanita is popular for its small streets and the waves of the beach. Ólon is more private, with clean beaches and warm waters.
Vacation Hotspot
The professionals from Quito and Guayaquil have long enjoyed vacations in Olón and Oloñito, but now the expats have discovered as well. It is smaller than cities like Bahia and Salinas and without the modern conveniences, but there is no price on the beauty and tranquility, the beaches of Olón are unmatched.
