Which airport to fly into
ÀNI sits on the Dominican Republic's north coast near Cabrera. According to the resort, the closest airports are Samaná El Catey (AZS), about 65 minutes by road, and Puerto Plata (POP), about 75 minutes. Santo Domingo is around three hours away and Punta Cana nearly five, so for a private flight these two are the logical choices.
We choose between them based on your aircraft, your origin and your arrival time. See our pages for Samaná and Puerto Plata. The resort also notes that helicopter transfers can be arranged from the airports, and we coordinate your arrival time so the transfer is waiting when you land.
