Montanita and ME Hotel Overview
Montanita Estate's Hotel resides on over an acre on a hill overlooking the small bohemian surf town of Montanita, 2.5 hours from Ecuador's largest city and commercial center, Guayaquil. 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 February, we've added a second building, Cloudbreak, and a beautiful tropical garden, pool, jacuzzi, lounge and Wine Bar, ME Cade Vida, for guests. Montanita Estates Hotel sits behind the gates of Montanita's only gated community Montanita Vista 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.
Montanita Estates also includes 3 developments in San Jose, Manglaralto, and Rio Chico where we build custom homes. The 3 developments reside on over 250 acres of land all just 5 minutes drive from Montanita.
