Retirement living in Ecuador's Coastal area.

Ecuador is becoming a desirable location for retirement living as real estate prices are still quite accessible for retirees. There are two main choices for living confortably: The coastal area and the mountains. We specialize in the coastal area.

The coastal area has an ideal small city called Salinas, with beautiful and confortable Beachfront Condominium Apartments. It has all the necessary facilities for confortable living. It has two shopping centers, several supermarkets, two well equiped hospitals and organized transportation systems.
The beaches are beautiful and within a short span you can find from fine to coarse sand. The weather is mild almost all year 'round, with few months when it is "warm" (up to 90°) and a few with "cold" weather (down to 65°). Being almost on the Equator, the hours of daylight vary very little, so you will have 12+ hours of sun all year 'round. There are two seasons: Winter, which coincides with the Winter and Spring of the northern hemisphere and is the "warm" season, and Summer, which coincides with the northern Summer and Autumn, which is the "cold" season. The water temperature goes from 75° to 85°, so it is swimmable all year 'round.

You may visit our pages on Salinas and also tourist pages that can be found on the Internet.

Playas is a smaller city which unfortunately has few comforts and a car is a must. The climate, however, is one of the best in the World, with a very high number of days with sunshine. On the other hand, it is the most popular beach for the general population, so in the "season", the beaches are very crowded. While the sea is beautiful there, it can be treacherous and one has to be a good swimmer.

There is a larger city called Manta, to the North; however, it has a more active life, with industrial and commercial activity. There is a military base that is for support and logistics aircraft of the U.S. Armed Forces, so there is some activity in the city related to the base.
