Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Few places in the world can claim to combine a lush rainforest setting with top-flight luxury quite like Costa Rica’s Papagayo Peninsula, and its case is only made stronger by the addition of Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Here, on a clifftop overlooking the Pacific, stands an understated but substantial central lodge orbited by a constellation of rooms, suites, and villas — some of which are reached via a wooden suspension bridge that hangs across a ravine.
