Between Jungle and Ocean

Nestled in the heart of the lush Papagayo Peninsula, the new resort Nekajui rises as a genuine sanctuary of luxury and tranquility. The property — Central America’s first Ritz-Carlton Reserve — is a testament to the seamless fusion of intimacy and magnificence, where every detail is designed to be felt.

Upon crossing the threshold, guests encounter a collection of more than 550 works by Central American artists — an immediate declaration of the region’s cultural depth. Here, art does not merely complement the surroundings; it defines them, delivering that first visual impact that compels both reflection and delight.

The spacious rooms, appointed with native woods, offer sweeping views of Pochote Bay. Each guest is accompanied by a personal “Manzu” — a dedicated friend and guide committed to curating the most complete experience possible. The culinary program, rooted in micro-cultivated ingredients from the surrounding region, resonates with the spirit of pura vida, reflecting a philosophy of sustainable production and a profound connection to the land.

For those who seek a retreat that marries grandeur with genuine intimacy, Nekajui offers not merely a place to stay, but a transformative experience — one that quietly reimagines what luxury can mean at the heart of untouched nature.
