Airpark Samara

Airpark Samara is a gated residential airpark near Sámara in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It sells lots where owners can build a hangar home beside a private airstrip. Owners can fly directly from their own property to other private airstrips across Costa Rica.

The airpark covers 86 acres, or 35 hectares. It is fully enclosed by gates and fences, with limited access for visitors. The company says this keeps traffic to a minimum and helps protect property values.

The runway is a 900 metre grass strip, officially registered with the aviation authorities under the code MRMR. The company describes it as an approved grass airstrip suitable for propeller aircraft. Pilots say the runway is wide and firm, with good traction.

The lots are about one mile from the Pacific Ocean. Samara's beaches, restaurants and shops are about ten minutes away by car. The site includes an interactive masterplan and hangar home design inspiration.

The company can connect buyers with local building professionals, or manage the whole build, including permits and construction. The site also lists a pilot information page and a Pura Vida guide to life at the airpark.

The airpark has been owned by La Pista SA since 2007. Its runway has been operational for many years, and a private flight school run by a partner offers daily flights and scenic tours in small gyrocopters.

The company says flying to San José takes less than an hour, compared with a four to six hour drive. The airpark is aimed at pilots, aviation enthusiasts and expats who want a fly-in community.
