Set along the coastline of San José del Cabo, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve will make its debut in early 2018.

This much anticipated opening marks the fourth resort in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio, and the second in the Caribbean and Mexico region.

“We are extremely excited to add the exquisite Zadún to the evolving and expanding portfolio of Ritz-Carlton Reserve, an elevated standard of luxury set in remarkable locations.

“We are particularly excited by the growth this opening represents for our beautiful and diverse region,” said Tim Sheldon, president, Caribbean & Latin America, Marriott International.

The name Zadún is inspired by the unique topography and dunes of the region – dunas in Spanish – and meant to evoke the transformative, pure experiences guests have at Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties around the globe.

Set in some of the world’s most prized destinations, these rare estates draw inspiration from their locale and native cultures and offer a highly personal connection between guests and the location.

The striking design of Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve will celebrate the desert and the sea.

Evoking a true sense of San José del Cabo, the resort’s buildings are placed gently along the steppes of the land, as if they are one with the landscape, rising out of the earth to create the ultimate desert luxury.

Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve will feature 115 elegantly appointed suites and villas, many with their own private plunge pools. The Reserve also features a collection of Ritz-Carlton Reserve Residences.

“Guests will be enchanted from the moment they arrive. The property celebrates one of the most captivating locations in the world, and the deeply attentive, caring Ladies and Gentlemen of Ritz-Carlton Reserve will bring Zadún to life,” Sheldon said.
