Treehouse Spa Debuts at Ritz-Carlton Reserve Costa Rica
Hailed internally as its “most amazing spa in the world”, Marriott International has revealed a treehouse -inspired wellness concept at the hotly anticipated opening of Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Costa Rica.
The 107-key resort with 36 residences is located in Peninsula Papagayo, a 1,400-acre luxury development backed by private investment platforms Gencom, based in Miami and Mohair Hospitality, based in Cyprus. Peninsula Papagayo, identified as a potential luxury tourism hub by the Costa Rican government in the 1980s, already features a Four Seasons and an Andaz and focuses on slow living, wellness and reconnecting to nature. This opening marks the eighth Ritz-Carlton Reserve worldwide and the first in Central and South America.
Connected To Nature
At the heart of Nekajui sits the 27,000sq ft Nimbu Spa & Wellness, designed to envelop guests in the natural beauty of Costa Rica – the country boasts one of the most biodiverse regions in the world and is known for its commitment to conservation.
Inspired by treehouses, Nimbu is accessed by a suspended bridge and nestled within the forest canopy, overlooking the Pacific and offering a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
“Nimbu is an expression of Guanacaste’s culture, with a design that prioritises the stunning ocean views,” says Blu Spas’ Cary Collier who consulted on the project along with Vivianne Garcia-Tunon from WonderFlower.
“Every element of the spa, from its architecture to its treatments, is designed to deepen the guest’s connection with this extraordinary place.”
Nimbu features one of the largest hydrotherapy pools in Latin America and treatment villas that seem to float above the forest canopy.
“The goal was to create a sensory sanctuary,” Collier adds.
