Above the Canopy

Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Perched above the Pacific on Costa Rica's Peninsula Papagayo, Nekajui draws its identity from one of the world's rare tropical dry forests, where dramatic cliffs, dense canopy and secluded coves converge. Locally sourced wood and stone, together with influences from Spanish colonial and Sabanero traditions, root the property's open-air design in Guanacaste's cultural and natural heritage. Elevated among the treetops and overlooking the coastline, the signature accommodations offer a privileged perspective on a landscape defined by both adventure and tranquility.

Villa Guayacan is a private 10-bedroom residence designed for those who seek unirvialed seclusion and deeper connections — to nature, to place, to one another.

Tucked into the lush hillside of Costa Rica's Peninsula Papagayo, the villa unfolds across expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces, an infinity-edge pool and wide terraces that draw the eye toward forest and sea. Original works of art throughout the home reflect the country’s cultural heritage, grounding the experience in its surroundings. With a private chef, dedicated concierge and discreet service that anticipates every need, life here moves at an unhurried pace.

As part of Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Villa Guayacan offers rare privacy with seamless access to the peninsula’s beaches, marina, golf and spa — an extraordinary home from which Costa Rica reveals itself.
