Salty Escapes Ecuador – Romantic Experiences for Couples in Ecuador.

Hi, There!

Hi, we’re Iva and Mika — an Argentinian-French couple brought together by the sea.
We met while searching for whales on paddle boards, and ever since, we’ve been partners in life, adventure, and salty escapes — along with our two furry companions, Flash and Rocco.

For the past 10 years, we’ve lived and worked on Ecuador’s Pacific coast, exploring every wave, reef, and hidden cove.
This place is our home, and we’re passionate about sharing its vibrant marine life and unforgettable ocean experiences with couples from around the world.

Salty Escapes was born from our desire to create meaningful trips for adventurous couples — blending romance, nature, and a touch of adrenaline in every detail.

Romantic Ocean Adventures for Couples Seeking Something Truly Special

Picture a week designed just for the two of you — where time slows down, the sea welcomes you in, and every moment feels unforgettable.

Learn to surf together for the very first time.

Swim with sea turtles and colourful reef fish in warm, clear waters.

Enjoy a couple’s massage in a tropical spa with coconut water and chocolate.

Sail along the coast on a private boat while whales appear beside you.

Discover hidden beaches where it’s just the two of you and the sound of the waves.

This is not just a holiday — it’s a shared experience made to bring you closer, to spark joy, and to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Every detail — from the handpicked activities to the flavours of Manabí’s renowned coastal cuisine — has been thoughtfully chosen by a couple who calls this place home, and who knows how to make the sea feel magical.

"With Salty Escapes, we had a magical couple's getaway: horseback riding at sunset, swimming with turtles, deserted beaches, surfing lessons, and a romantic dinner by the sea. But the most incredible thing was the private yacht tour... just us, the ocean, and that feeling of total freedom. Everything was organized with such care and attention to detail that we didn't have to worry about a thing. A perfect experience to reconnect. Thank you so much!"

-Hannah and Phillip

"The week we had with Salty Escapes was truly magical. Iva and Mika have lived in the area for over 10 years, and you know it by each of the hidden and local spots that they took us too! — honestly, we would’ve never found them on our own. Both Iva and Mika are kind and genuine. From the most authentic meals in cozy seaside huts to higher-end restaurants with incredible vibes, every day felt like a curated culinary experience just for us. We came for the ocean… and left in love with the whole coast-and love of Ecuadorian food!"

-Rachel and Tom
