Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Nestled within the dramatic cliffs of Peninsula Papagayo, Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is a sanctuary of rare stillness and profound connection to nature. Opened in 2025, this brand-new luxury resort features 78 exquisitely designed rooms, 25 suites, three exclusive tented suites, and a Grand Villa, all harmoniously integrated with the lush garden landscapes and sweeping ocean vistas. Guests experience an atmosphere defined by authenticity and intention, enhanced by a signature hanging bridge that offers panoramic views across the pristine surroundings. The resort’s architecture and design celebrate the natural beauty of Costa Rica’s protected Área de Conservación Guanacaste, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meeting and event spaces total 1,451 sq. ft., including private, semi-private, and outdoor venues such as the Capilla Lawn and Vista Wedding Lawn, accommodating up to 100 guests. Culinary journeys focus on local ingredients and regional traditions, served in the onsite restaurant and bar, while restorative spa and wellness rituals draw inspiration from the rhythms of land and sea. Immersive adventures like guided eco-adventures, surf lessons, and golf on the Audubon-certified Ocean Course connect guests deeply to the environment, making Nekajui a premier destination for luxury events and rejuvenation.
