About Malecón

The Malecón district refers to the towers and blocks lining Salinas's signature seafront promenade, where ocean-view condominiums rise directly above the boardwalk's restaurants, cafés and shops. It is the definitive walkable beachfront-living address, blending permanent residents, snowbirds and vacation renters in a single front-row strip. The investment appeal is front-row views plus turnkey rental convenience. Ocean-view condos trade around $1,350–$1,700/m², with units from roughly $90,000 to $220,000, and front-line positions command premium short-term rents at 6.5–8.5% gross yields. Continuous promenade demand and limited true front-row supply support 4–5% appreciation. Foreigners purchase titled beachfront condos freely in Ecuador's dollarized, no-currency-risk market, with qualifying buys eligible for the investor-residency visa.
