Inside the private Sandpiper community, a couple of minutes' walk from the beach, we're finishing two twin villas built for staying a while: 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms across 331 m² (3,560 sq ft), on a 650 m² lot surrounded by native vegetation.

If you're looking for a beach house rental in Ecuador with real space for family or friends — no high-rises, no noise, and the quietest town on the Ruta del Spondylus at your door — this is the place. We open in November 2026, and the first people on the list book before the villas reach Airbnb, at a pre-opening rate.

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 do the villas 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 villas hit 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 each villa sleep?

Each villa has 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms across 331 m² (3,560 sq ft) — comfortable for up to 8 guests. For big groups or family events, the two villas together sleep up to 16.

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 villas are inside the private Sandpiper community, a couple of minutes' walk from the beach.

Do you also sell property in Sandpiper?

Yes. Besides the vacation villas, there's one lot and one house in structural shell stage for sale inside the same community. See the investment opportunities here (in Spanish — message us on WhatsApp for details in English).
