Now Launching Costa Serena in Santa Marianita – A New Beach Access Project Backed by Over 20 Years of Coastal Development Experience

Introducing Costa Serena, a new beach access project in Santa Marianita, Ecuador, developed through the partnership of Ledesma Corp and Ecuadorian Coastal Properties. Backed by more than 20 years of experience developing projects along the Ecuadorian coast, this thoughtfully planned community brings together location, infrastructure, and turnkey building options in one of the most desirable beach areas in Manabí.

Costa Serena features 10 lots, with each lot ranging from approximately 300 to 350 m² (3,229 to 3,767 sq ft). This gives buyers the flexibility to build a full-time residence, vacation home, or income-producing property in a project where real planning has gone into the layout and infrastructure from the beginning.

Located in Santa Marianita, just 20 minutes south of Manta, Costa Serena offers direct access to one of Ecuador’s best-known beach communities. Santa Marianita is widely recognized as the kiteboarding capital of Ecuador, thanks to its long shoreline and reliable wind conditions that attract both beginners and experienced riders. The area is also known for whale watching during the season, a relaxed atmosphere, beachfront dining, and a quieter pace of life that continues to attract both national and international buyers.

For investors, Costa Serena also stands out for its short-term rental and Airbnb potential. Santa Marianita has become increasingly popular with travelers looking for beach access, water sports, and a more peaceful alternative to busier coastal areas. This makes the project appealing not only for lifestyle buyers, but also for those looking to generate rental income in a growing market.

Buyers can choose from lot-only options starting at $149,000, or move forward with turnkey home packages starting at $329,000, featuring first-class finishings and different model homes ready to go. This creates a more efficient path for buyers who want a completed home without starting the process from zero.

Another major advantage is the project’s close connection to Manta, one of Ecuador’s most important coastal cities. Manta offers shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals, schools, nightlife, beaches, a marina, and an airport, giving Costa Serena owners the benefit of living in a quiet beach town while staying close to all the services and conveniences of the city.

Costa Serena is a new project built on experience, strong local knowledge, and a clear understanding of what buyers want on the Ecuadorian coast: beach access, quality infrastructure, rental potential, and proximity to Manta. With only 10 lots available, this is a strong opportunity to secure property in one of the coast’s most appealing and active beach communities.
