Inside the private Sandpiper community, a two-minute walk from the beach, we're finishing one villa built for staying a while: an entire home, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 331 m² (3,560 sq ft), on a 650 m² lot surrounded by native vegetation.

This is not a suite or a loft: it's the whole house for your group — pool, kitchen, terrace and garden — with gated-community security and an operations team ready to host. If you're looking for a beach house rental in Ecuador with real space for family or friends, this is the place. We open in November 2026. Founders book before the villa hits the platforms, at a pre-opening rate.

What's already in place

The site is a pre-listing because the house is still being finished. Operations are not: the team, capacity and photographer are already confirmed so we can open in the entire 4-bedroom home category.

Operations team

Team and capacity ready to host: cleaning, check-in and guest follow-up at entire-home premium level — not a suite.

Architecture photography

Professional shoot confirmed when the build is done. The renders on this page are the project; real photos go to the founders list first.

First of a collection

This villa opens the model. If it works, the same design is replicated on the remaining lots in the community — same architecture, same operations.

Seasonal rates

Rates are announced in October 2026 — to the founders list first, with an exclusive discount on the first bookings. Entire 4-bedroom home category: not a suite.

Where to stay in Ayampe? Where the town is still a town.

Ayampe is the best-kept secret on Ecuador's coast: consistent waves all year, humpback whales June through September, and Los Frailes beach 20 minutes away. No nightclubs, no high-rises — just ocean, forest and quiet.

No cost. No credit card. Just priority.

What everyone asks.

When does the villa open?

Opening is estimated for November 2026. As with any build, the date may shift slightly — which is why the list receives the real progress and the exact date before anyone else.

Does joining the list commit me to anything?

No. It's free, we don't ask for a credit card, and you can leave anytime. It simply means you'll get the pre-opening rates and can book your dates before the villa hits the platforms.

How much will a night cost?

Rates are announced to the list first, with an exclusive pre-opening discount on the first bookings. Think of a whole 4-bedroom villa for up to 8 people — the per-person cost is a pleasant surprise.

How many people does the villa sleep?

Entire home: 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 331 m² (3,560 sq ft) — comfortable for up to 8 guests. Not a suite or shared rooms: the whole house is yours.

How do I get to Ayampe?

Ayampe sits on the Ruta del Spondylus in Manabí: about 3 hours by car from Guayaquil's international airport (GYE), 17 km from Puerto López and 25 km from Montañita. The villa is inside the private Sandpiper community, a two-minute walk from the beach.

Will there be more villas?

This is the first. If the entire-home model works as we expect, the same design is replicated on the remaining lots in the community. See the project (in Spanish — message us on WhatsApp for details in English).
