FROM OUR WORKSHOP TO A GLOBAL ICON

Latin America’s most awarded new hotel carries, in every room, the signature of LETTO FURNITURE®.

38 containers. One Colombian factory. A complete resort. A new era of luxury in the Americas.

In the heart of Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica, where the tropical rainforest meets the Pacific Ocean, a new global benchmark in hospitality has been born: Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve — the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in all of Central and South America.

Its name, in the local Chorotega dialect, means “lush garden”. And as in every garden that moves us, every detail matters. Behind every space, every piece, every guest who falls in love with this place, stands a name that knows what it means to craft luxury to the highest standard: LETTO FURNITURE®.

A Hotel Conquering the World

Since its opening, Nekajui has been hailed by international critics — AFAR, Travel + Leisure, Esquire, TIME Magazine, Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveler — as one of the most extraordinary hospitality propositions on the planet. In less than a year, it has earned a list of accolades that few hotels achieve in an entire decade:

Design That Honors Nature

Nekajui is not just a hotel — it is a statement. An ultra-luxury architecture seamlessly integrated into the tropical rainforest and oceanfront landscapes, EDGE-certified for sustainability, and globally recognized for its design, wellness integration, experiential luxury, and its ability to inhabit nature without disturbing it.

The resort features:

• Six swimming pools, including a 70-foot-long infinity pool overlooking the Pacific.
• The 27,000-square-foot Nimbu Spa — home to Central America’s largest hydrotherapy pool.
• A wooden suspension bridge connecting guest rooms to the infinity pool and the treetop bar.
• A glass funicular descending to the beach club.
• The iconic Treetop Tents — tree-house rooms with unobstructed ocean views.
• Culinary experiences led by executive chef Lulu Elizaga, with a cocktail program featuring over 70 exclusive creations.

Every space was conceived to move you. Every material, to endure. Every piece of furniture, to tell a story.

The LETTO FURNITURE® Signature: Colombian Craftsmanship in a Global Icon

When a project of this magnitude looks for an FF&E manufacturer, it does not settle. It demands precision, millimeter-accurate execution, and production capacity capable of sustaining a global vision.

LETTO FURNITURE® answered that call backed by more than two decades manufacturing hospitality furniture for the most demanding hotel brands in the world — Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Hilton, Hyatt — from our facilities in Colombia, Asia, and Europe.

38 CONTAINERS

A Colombian factory furnishing a six-star resort

Thirty-eight containers of custom-made furniture, manufactured entirely at our factory in Colombia and shipped directly from our port to Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica — destined to fully furnish the resort: public areas, guest rooms, suites, and private residences.

What traveled inside those 38 containers?

• Public areas: furniture for lobbies, restaurants, bars, lounges, and the social spaces of the Nimbu Spa.
• Guest rooms and suites: casegoods, headboards, nightstands, dressers, seating, and exclusive pieces for every room category.
• Private residences: complete FF&E packages for the most exclusive units of the Reserve.
• Architectural millwork: panels, finishes, and details that dialogue with the resort’s architecture.
• Specialty pieces and indoor/outdoor furniture that blur the boundary between the rainforest and the resort.

Every award Nekajui receives, every cover it makes, every guest who arrives in search of an unforgettable experience… sits, rests, and falls in love on furniture proudly crafted by LETTO FURNITURE®.

Sustainable Design: A Shared Vision

Nekajui is not only an architectural feat — it is a commitment to nature. The hotel repurposed nearly 80% of the materials extracted from or moved from the earth during construction to build its own features, including wooden headboards and siding.

LETTO FURNITURE® echoed that philosophy from the manufacturing floor. Our pieces were produced with reclaimed woods and eco-friendly materials, integrating a sustainable vision that runs from the origin of the material all the way to its final installation.

Because true luxury, today, must also be responsible.

A Story Only Just Beginning

Nekajui marks a turning point for Latin American hospitality. And LETTO FURNITURE® is there — not as a spectator, but as a strategic partner in the projects that are redrawing the map of global luxury.

As furniture providers for this six-star complex, we feel deeply proud to have contributed to bringing to life one of the most exclusive destinations on the planet — where cultural immersion, natural experience, and luxury meet in perfect harmony.
