Nekajui, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve: A Coastal Paradise Now Open

We’re delighted to share that Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is officially open, marking Ritz-Carlton’s eighth property in the ultraluxe Reserve portfolio!
Nestled in one of the most prized coastal locations of Peninsula Papagayo, the architecture celebrates the culture and nature of Guanacaste, blending native materials and sustainable design with contemporary style.

The design for Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve – made up of 107 guestrooms and suites alongside 36 branded residences — is the result of a collaborative effort by an incredible team. 10 Design (previously SB Architects/10SB) served as Design Architect, Gensler as Executive Architect and Interior Designer, EDSA, Inc. as Landscape Architect and Land Planner, BAMO as Interior Designers, and Luxury Frontiers as Experiential Lodging Experts.

“We’re honored to have had the opportunity to serve as the design architects for this incredible development. Walking the site back in 2017, I recall just being blown away by how breathtaking it was. It was clear from the beginning that the design vision and architecture needed to be crafted carefully to blend with and enhance the site's natural beauty seamlessly.” Jorey 'Shosh' Friedman, Design Principal.
More to follow soon!

Huge congratulations to Mohari Hospitality, Gencom, The Athens Group, and Marriott International!
