Montelimar Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Montelimar) (ICAO: MNMR) is an airfield located on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua in the municipality of San Rafael del Sur, Nicaragua.[1]

History

The airfield is next to the Barceló Montelimar Hotel and Resort. The current location of the hotel is the old Somoza Estate, confiscated by the Government in 1979 and sold to the Spanish hotel chain Grupo Barceló in 1993 for US$3 million.

In 2012, the government of Nicaragua and representatives of Grupo Barceló announced a joint venture to build an international airport at the Hotel Barceló Montelimar. The new airport will be 75% owned by the government and 25% owned by Grupo Barceló.[2]
