Set high on the sun-drenched cliffs of Costa Rica’s Peninsula Papagayo, Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is an intimate sanctuary overlooking the Gulf of Papagayo. Surrounded by tropical dry forest and golden beaches, the resort blends contemporary design with a deep sense of place, creating a refined yet relaxed escape.
The resort features around 107 ocean-facing rooms and suites, including generous Ocean Reserve Rooms with terraces and plunge pools, expansive one- and two-bedroom suites, and the exceptional Tree Top Tent Suites, elevated above the forest canopy. For families and groups, private residences and the Grand Nekajui Villa provide multi-bedroom living with infinity pools and panoramic views.
Dining is a highlight, from the Peruvian-inspired Puna to relaxed beachfront fare at Niri Beach Club and sunset cocktails at Brisa. Wellness is central to the experience, with the Nimbu Spa, modern fitness facilities, yoga spaces and guided nature activities. Multiple infinity pools cascade toward the ocean, while a funicular links the clifftop resort to secluded coves below, offering an effortless balance of adventure, seclusion and barefoot luxury.
