The sun setting on Ecuador’s Pacific coast is a wonder to behold. At dusk, shadows grow long, the light slowly fades, the vibrant blue sky turning a pale grey, so that for a moment you think nighttime is upon you, but then…what’s left of the sun’s light begins to shimmer on the ocean, and grey gives in to bursts of orange, red, and yellow that set the sky ablaze in a glorious display. Then, as if bidding a slow farewell, the bright warm colors darken and deepen into violet and purple, growing darker, bluer, until the last sliver of the sun’s rays acquiesce to the stars and the moon – the ruler of the tides. There are few other things on earth that can awe and inspire, while simultaneously bringing serenity to your day, as a spectacular Ecuador sunset. This 8,611-square-foot, three-level white-washed home in the community of Capaes affords you the chance to have some of the best viewing opportunities you will ever have. Located just north of Ballenita, along the Ruta del Spondylus, this development consists of custom homes built upon a gentle slope that meets the shore, evocative of Mediterranean coastal villages. Step into the expansive main level, in the one-of-a-kind grand foyer, and a magnificent step-down living area with a wet bar. Continue on to the wall of sliding glass doors that lead out to the covered terrace that overlooks the paved courtyard and unique swimming pool, creating elegant and seamless indoor/outdoor living. What an amazing space for family enjoyment and entertaining! There is room on the covered terrace for a built-in sofa, an outdoor table that seats eight easily, as well as, a couple of hammocks. Step down to the swimming pool area, with a natural rock feature at one end of the pool creating the ambiance of a Mediterranean coastal grotto. A similar rock feature creates a planter in the opposite corner of the patio. The entire poolside area is paved and boasts plenty of room for sunbathing. Finally, there is a custom covered BBQ and bar area. Imagine gathering here with friends and family enjoying the pool, and the ocean views, as you wear your chef’s apron or put on your mixologist’s hat. Inside, just beyond the wet bar is the formal dining room with windows to the terrace and pool area. Nearby is the separate kitchen, with upper and lower cabinets, tile counters and backsplash, oven/range, refrigerator, freezer, and microwave, as well as a huge window that fills the room with natural light. There is a powder room convenient to all the living spaces on this level. Take the stairs up to the massive master bedroom suite, where even a king-size bed still leaves tons of space for a large custom fireplace with impressive attached shelving and two comfy chairs. The master suite features a large ensuite bathroom with pedestal sink, oversized shower, and a large walk-in closet with dressing area. This master suite is a true oasis; its sliding glass doors lead out to an enormous rooftop terrace featuring a pergola with hammocks and outdoor chairs perfect for relaxing while enjoying miles of ocean views, and also the perfect romantic spot to enjoy one of the spectacular sunsets with your partner. There is a huge separate terrace area that you can finish any way you want!! Going down the stairs, back to the main level, you will find a casual family room/television area with built-in sofa, and three more bedrooms. The spacious second bedroom features a double bed and large ensuite bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms each have built-in bunk beds and each has their own private ensuite bathroom. There are outside stairs, surrounded by palm trees and bougainvillea, that take you to the lower level of this incredible property. Here, you find a huge covered area, and on one wall a set of sliding glass doors that take you into a self-contained two-bedroom apartment. This apartment has its own open-concept living room area with built-in sofa and coffee table and kitchenette. The spacious first bedroom has a king-size bed, as well as, built-in bunk beds to one side, and a cute ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom holds a twin bed and also boasts a built-in bunk bed with space for a full mattress on the lower level, and a twin on top. This bedroom also has a private ensuite full bathroom. Outside the apartment, in the covered section, a couple of hammocks invite you to lay in them and enjoy the gentle ocean breeze. This separate apartment is perfect for in-laws, or visiting family or friends that would appreciate the added privacy, or you could rent this apartment for added income. The laundry area with washer and dryer are located in this huge lower covered area, and there is another, separate bathroom accessed from here.

Welcome to Rovetto Casa de Gigantones, a living masterpiece perched in the sun-drenched upper Yunguilla Valley, where the emerald slopes of the Andes rise like a protective wall and the sky opens wide in every direction. This American-designed villa isn't just a home—it is a sanctuary of style and soul, where every curve, color, and corner tells a story. As you arrive, a koi pond sparkles under dappled sunlight, its gentle waterfall humming beside a massive pivot door inset with radiant stained glass. Inside, light dances across polished surfaces. The gourmet kitchen—with its sleek appliances and hidden pantry—flows effortlessly to a tiled carport and discreet storage. The dining area stretches with ease, ready for grand dinners or casual coffee mornings. In the heart of the home, a green-stone fireplace glows between the living and dining spaces, framed by a breathtaking peacock stained-glass window—an explosion of jewel tones that catch the changing light. The main suite is pure indulgence: a private retreat with its own fireplace, spa bath, morning coffee bar, and a jaw-dropping view across treetops to the valley below, framed by 12,000-foot peaks. Guests are treated like royalty in a spacious suite with Murphy bed, kitchenette, and private entrance. There's a creative nook for artists or gamers, and a peaceful office that doubles as a cozy bedroom, complete with an art niche. Follow the handcrafted caoba staircase to a vibrant lower level that stuns: a contra-current solar-heated swimming pool, an eight-person hot spa, and a luxe shower room. Play a round of bocce, putt on manicured greens, or kick back in your own sports bar and home gym. A fourth bedroom with half-bath and kitchenette offers more flexibility for guests or staff. There are four and a half elegant bathrooms, heated floors and three fireplaces. A life built around warmth, beauty, and detail. Set in a forward-thinking gated community, you will enjoy underground power lines, water reclamation, and serene, walkable streets. Nearby amenities include a grand clubhouse, indoor pool, spa, gym, sports courts, and a cheerful playground for the little ones. And just beyond—Cuenca, a UNESCO gem bursting with culture, artisanship, and charm is only an hour away. Head west, and in two hours you’re on the Pacific coast: watching whales breach, exploring coral reefs, or kite-surfing along golden beaches. Rovetto Casa de Gigantones isn’t just a home—it’s a vivid, luxurious experience etched into the mountainside.

We all know that the beach can provide a sense of escape from daily routines and responsibilities, but did you know that there are scientific reasons why being near the beach helps relieve stress and anxiety? Not only is the smell of the ocean air soothing and calming, the ocean’s sights and sounds stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and reducing stress. But, as the old saying goes, “Wait! There’s more!” The ocean releases negative ions into the air, which can counteract the positive ions emitted by electronic devices and other sources. These negative ions can increase oxygen flow to the brain, boosting alertness, reducing drowsiness, and promoting relaxation. Wow! It is almost as if a doctor should prescribe this fantastic property for you. Located in the best residential area of Punta Blanca, on Ecuador’s Ruta del Sol – “Route of the Sun” – this property is ideal, with space for family and friends. Situated on a 594-square-meter lot, there is an expansive courtyard within the perimeter wall and secure front gate. There are two structures within, one being the three-bedroom, 3-bathroom main house, and the casita consisting of a studio suite with ensuite bathroom, a separate sun room, and a three-car carport. The 1,259-square-foot main house features an expansive covered front porch area, with room for outdoor seating and dining, as well as, a hammock. You enter the air conditioned main house from this inviting space. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces are open to one another, enjoying high, vaulted ceilings with wood beams. The area is kept bright from the natural light streaming through the large picture windows in the kitchen. Lower cabinets provide plenty of storage and counter space, and the peninsula counter has a wood table-height breakfast bar. The master bedroom suite is roomy, with a king-size bed, a chest of drawers, and comfy chair, as well as, sliding glass doors that access the covered front porch. The ensuite master bathroom offers a vanity, toilet, bidet, and full-sized shower. The second bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, and the third bedroom features two twin beds. Each of these bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom. The 377-square-foot casita structure has a private suite with a king-size bed, a twin bed, a compact kitchenette, and an ensuite bathroom with vanity, toilet, and shower. This is perfect for visiting friends, or family that want to join you, but would appreciate a bit of privacy or independence, such as in-laws or teens. This studio suite is adjacent to the separate air conditioned sun room, with kitchenette, that boasts two walls of windows and sliding glass doors. This is an attractive and comfortable space to enjoy the activities that are sure to take place in the surrounding courtyard while staying out of the South American sun. Next to the suite is the three-car carport, but the courtyard is so large there is actually room to park 10-23 cars. Speaking of the activities available throughout the courtyard, there is a fun above-ground pool between the main house and the casita that will be enjoyed by children and adults alike! There is also an outdoor canopy creating shade for some outdoor chairs. Nearby is a large covered bamboo gazebo that provides protection for BBQ grills, a bar area with seating for four, and a large dining table with seating for eight. You also have a convenient bathroom with simple shower accessed from the courtyard area. Finally, at one end of the property you will find a set of concrete stairs that lead down to a path to the beach. You are that close to being able to dig your toes into the sand or take a dip in the ocean! This is truly a beach retreat with something to feed each person’s soul.
