Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, elevates luxury wellness with Technogym

Perched above Costa Rica’s coastline and seamlessly integrated into the lush tropical landscape, Nekajui’s open-air fitness center features Technogym’s state-of-the-art offering for cardio and strength.

Nekajui has officially opened its doors, offering discerning travelers a secluded, ultra-luxury retreat amidst the unspoiled natural beauty of Costa Rica’s Peninsula Papagayo. Named after the Chorotega word for “lush garden,” Nekajui marks a monumental milestone as the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Central and South America and the eighth addition to the brand’s exclusive portfolio.

Framed by panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding Papagayo islets, this elevated space invites guests to energize their bodies while nourishing their spirits with nature’s beauty.

The fitness area at Nekajui is thoughtfully designed to reflect the resort’s philosophy of harmony with the environment. Guests can train in an open-air pavilion that welcomes ocean breezes and natural light, or in a climate-controlled indoor space that supports focused, high-performance workouts. Every detail of the space is curated to inspire physical vitality while nurturing mental clarity.

Technogym’s state-of-the-art equipment plays a central role in this elevated wellness offering. Skillmill, a non-motorized treadmill, allows guests to train with natural movement patterns that enhance power, speed, and endurance. Its curved design and resistance settings make it ideal for both athletic conditioning and functional training. Complementing this is the Skillrow, which delivers a realistic rowing experience with smooth resistance and advanced biomechanics, supporting full-body cardiovascular and strength development. Both are part of Skill Line, designed for peak performance.

For cardio enthusiasts, the Excite Synchro and Excite Run from Excite Line offer a sleek, connected experience. Excite Synchro provides a fluid elliptical motion that minimizes joint impact while maximizing engagement, while Excite Run delivers a smooth and responsive running experience. Both machines are equipped with Technogym Live, offering virtual routes, entertainment, and personalized training programs that keep guests motivated and immersed in their wellness journey.

Strength training is supported by Selection Line, a collection of strength-training equipment known for its ergonomic design, biomechanical precision, and intuitive usability. Whether guests are building foundational strength or targeting specific muscle groups, Selection Line ensures safe, effective, and comfortable resistance training suited to all fitness levels.

To further enhance the experience, Technogym App allows guests to sync their workouts, access virtual coaching, and track their progress seamlessly, whether in the fitness center or from the privacy of their villa. This integration of digital wellness ensures continuity and personalization throughout their stay.

At Nekajui, wellness is not just a feature, it’s a philosophy. With Technogym’s most advanced solutions, the resort offers a transformative space where luxury, nature, and performance converge, inviting guests to reconnect with themselves in one of the world’s most inspiring settings.
