Mohari Hospitality and Gencom are proud to announce the grand opening of Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, the first of its kind in Central and South America and the eighth in the world. Nestled within the breathtaking 1,400-acre private club and resort community of Peninsula Papagayo, Nekajui is the destination’s newest ultra-luxury sanctuary.
Marking a significant milestone for Costa Rica’s hospitality scene, the opening strengthens Gencom’s long-standing partnership with Marriott International and Ritz-Carlton and, further solidifies Gencom’s position as a leader in the luxury hospitality mixed-use sector, expanding its presence in high-demand leisure destinations as the firm continues to execute high-profile, hospitality-led real estate deals in top US and global markets.
Developed through a joint venture between Mohari Hospitality and Gencom, Nekajui, whose name derives from the indigenous word for ‘lush garden,’ embodies refined hospitality by integrating Costa Rica’s natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and timeless luxury.
Perched on an oceanfront bluff, Nekajui features 107 luxurious rooms, including suites and three exclusive luxury treetop tens, offering panoramic ocean views. Additionally, 36 branded private residences are available for those seeking an elevated, permanent retreat.
The design vision, led by SB Architects and Gensler, takes cues from the grand haciendas of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste Province, blending local craftsmanship and cultural details. The Athens Group, a trusted partner to both Gencom and Mohari, ensured that the design and construction honored the surrounding natural landscape, offering an immersive experience that connects the past and present.
