Ultimate Booking Guide for Zadún Los Cabos, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

At Stars Desk, we are proud to be a TOP Marriott STARS Agency, giving our clients privileged access to VIP benefits, priority upgrades, and enhanced recognition when booking Zadún Los Cabos. This ultimate booking guide will help you understand why Zadún is so special, how to select the right accommodation, and how to book it the right way for maximum value and experience.
What Makes Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, So Exceptional
Zadún is not a traditional beachfront resort. Instead, it is a carefully curated sanctuary designed to blend into Baja California Sur’s desert-meets-ocean landscape. The name “Zadún,” inspired by the Spanish word dunas, reflects the resort’s harmony with the surrounding dunes and terrain.
Located on a private, non-swimmable beach, the resort prioritizes tranquility and panoramic views while remaining conveniently close to:
San José del Cabo (7 minutes)
Cabo San Lucas (approximately 30 minutes)
This balance of seclusion and accessibility is one of Zadún’s greatest strengths.
A Crown Jewel of the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Portfolio
Zadún holds a unique place within the Reserve collection:
Fourth of eight Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties worldwide
First Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Mexico
Repeatedly awarded Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five Diamond, and Michelin Two Keys
Its design is a modern interpretation of Mexican artistry, featuring hand-crafted details, local materials, and architecture that frames the Sea of Cortés from nearly every angle.
For discerning travelers, Zadún is not just a place to stay—it is a destination designed to be felt.
