Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Peninsula Papagayo · Ritz-Carlton Reserve · 56 Villas · Private Beach · Ultra-Luxury

Getaway Unpacked Edit

One of only seven Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties in the world — 56 villas on a private peninsula above the Pacific with a private beach, three pools, and the Awà Spa. The most exclusive address in Costa Rica.

Why We Chose It

Nekajui is Ritz-Carlton's ultra-exclusive Reserve brand — a step above the standard Ritz-Carlton, with only a handful of properties worldwide. Set on a private promontory on Peninsula Papagayo, the 56 villas are surrounded by tropical dry forest and face the Pacific. Each villa has a private plunge pool; butler service is available. The Awà Spa draws on indigenous Chorotega healing traditions. A private beach club, three swimming pools, and kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing from the marina. The most prestigious hotel address in Costa Rica.

What Stands Out

  • One of only 7 Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties worldwide
  • 56 private villas on Peninsula Papagayo
  • Awà Spa — Chorotega indigenous healing traditions
  • Private beach, three pools, full marina
  • Most exclusive hotel address in Costa Rica
