Playa Samara is located in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast of the Nicoya Peninsula in the heart of one of the world’s 5 Blue Zones. Less than two hours via paved roads from the Liberia International Airport, Samara is a growing beach town that is at once thriving and laid-back. The town boasts many small shops, restaurants, and bars spilling onto the gorgeous horseshoe-shaped swim beach.
Just a few miles down the paved coastal road, you’ll find a palm-lined, undeveloped beach, Playa Carrillo - undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica. Looking for surf? Beginners will love Playa Samara, the more adventurous will find Playa Barrigona and Playa Camaronal just 20 minutes up or down the coast.
Samara, and the surrounding area, truly is a dream location whether you are visiting, investing in, or considering a move. All of Costa Rica’s adventures are at your fingertips here, where the mountains meet the beach. And while many have found this to be the place to invest or even settle down, Samara has maintained that small beach-town vibe which defines the pura vida attitude.
