In the heart of San José Del Cabo — the quieter companion to Cabo San Lucas — lies the jewel in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve’s seaside portfolio: Zadún. Its name is derived from the Spanish word “dunas,” meaning dunes, and the resort is nestled inside the exclusive Los Cabos enclave, where it offers guests panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez, rich and diverse landscapes, and a pristine coastline.
Featuring 113 guest rooms and suites in 42 two-storey luxury villas, each room at Zadún is designed to give guests a seamless outdoor-indoor experience, complete with private plunge pools. Whether it’s handwoven Oaxacan textiles or sculptural art, Mexican design is also central to each space, paying tribute to the country’s talented artisans and craftsmanship.
A stay at Zadún feels very different from the typical Los Cabos experience. The hotel’s luxurious amenities underline its commitment to creating a tranquil environment for its guests, one that feels both private and inviting. Inside its world-class 30,000-square-foot Spa Alkemia, for example, guests are invited to unwind with treatments that combine traditional and modern techniques, such as a purification ritual with a ceremonial smudge, a Savasana sound bath, and an open-air water circuit.
In addition to these traditional spa treatments (facials, massages, and body scrubs), three new treatments that promote further mindfulness have also been added to the spa menu. They include: reiki alignment, a healing method that targets mental, emotional, and physical well-being; Access Bars, a technique that activates 32 pressure points on the head; and Whispers from the Body, a new Shaman-led intuitive treatment that aids in identifying and releasing inner wounds.
When it comes to the culinary side of your stay, Zadún has a collection of impressive dining concepts. El Barrio, the hotel’s laid-back restaurant, is conveniently situated by the main pool and serves up modern Mexican cuisine. For a more refined, fine-dining experience, guests can head over to Zadún’s Latin American parrilla and crudo bar Humo. The restaurant’s signature dishes, including the cabrito al pastor and tiradito nikkei, celebrate Latin American grilling techniques and are best enjoyed with Humo’s incredibly impressive wine selection.
Zadún is also proudly partnered with Ambassadors of the Environment, a group founded by the oceanographic explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau. With activities ranging from educational classes about Mexico’s history, to desert hikes, stargazing, and even winter whale watching, the program gives guests the opportunity to experience and learn about the land they’re visiting in unique and unexpected ways.
Because it’s one of the most popular vacation destinations in Mexico, it’s easy to discount Los Cabos if you’re well-travelled and seeking a more unique experience. Zadún, however, cuts through the noise with its authentic approach to hospitality. From integrating indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the property, to its dedication to mindfulness and commitment to respecting its natural surroundings, a stay at Zadún will ensure you leave feeling not only deeply relaxed, but enriched.
