Samara : tout pour préparer ton voyage

Sámara is a relaxed coastal village on the Nicoya Peninsula that attracts independent travellers, families and surfers with its authentic flair, calm atmosphere and the real ‘Pura Vida’ way of life.

Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit

Peaceful coastal everyday life – The relaxed atmosphere in Sámara with local cafés and the mix of international travellers makes it easy to switch off and experience the real Costa Rica.
A beach for every taste – Playa Sámara scores with calm water and plenty of shade, while Playa Carrillo invites you with nature and very little development. Perfect for relaxed days or active hours by the sea.
Morning wildlife watching – You will hear and see howler monkeys, toucans and hummingbirds almost daily in the village or at the breakfast table. Out at sea, dolphins and many colourful fish appear during tours or kayak trips.

L’essentiel en un coup d’œil

Compact village layout – You can reach everything on foot or by bicycle. You only need a car for trips to quieter beaches such as Carrillo or Buena Vista.
Roads and parking – The streets in the village centre are tarmac, and some eco-lodges are reached via gravel roads. A 4×4 is not absolutely necessary, but handy when it rains.
Petrol stations and cash machine – You will find a petrol station directly in the village. The cash machine is centrally located and many restaurants accept credit cards.
Best time to travel – The dry season from December to April offers plenty of sunshine. The shoulder season from May to August is greener and quieter. For whale sightings, July to October is worthwhile.
Safety and atmosphere – Samara is considered safe and relaxed. Most accommodations provide safes for your valuables. At night the vibe is calm without party noise.
Wildlife right on your doorstep – You will often find howler monkeys and Nasua in the morning, right in the garden or between the palm trees.
