Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Opening March 1, 2025

Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, will feature unique villas and estate homes, offering a luxurious experience in the heart of Guanacaste. Peninsula Papagayo combines sophistication with adventure within 1,400 acres of natural beauty and is surrounded by sapphire waters. Home to the Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica, Andaz Costa Rica Resort, and a private Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course, it also borders the UNESCO-listed Área de Conservación Guanacaste, rich in plant and animal life. Guests can enjoy activities like surfing, snorkeling, and mountain biking.

Room types have already been announced. Here is a quick overview of an Ocean Vista Suite vs. the Treetop Family Tent:

  • Experience: The Ocean Vista Suite is all about that modern luxury vibe with ocean views, while the Treetop Family Tent is like your own luxury glamping adventure, putting you in the heart of nature.
  • Amenities & Design: The suite focuses on indoor comforts you’d expect from a luxury hotel, whereas the tent offers a unique blend of luxury and outdoor living.
  • Suitability: The suite would be ideal for those who want luxury with a modern touch, whereas the tent appeals to those seeking an adventurous, nature-centric stay.
  • Size and Space: While both offer generous spaces, the suites have a wider range in size.
  • Theme: The thematic naming of the tents adds a local cultural element that is not as pronounced in the suites.

Both options reflect the Ritz-Carlton Reserve’s commitment to personalized luxury experiences, but they cater to different desires for how one wants to interact with the environment of Nekajui. Please complete a Travel Request Form to learn more about its grand opening.
