Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

San Jose del Cabo, Mexico

Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

The pavilions of the Reserve seem to melt into the surrounding vegetation, standing tall against the sea spray of the Gulf of California. This is, of course, a love letter to nature, the wild, and a specific vision of travel echoing the rugged landscape, stone and granite structures that open outward, accented by blue travertine and guided by a soft, diffused light. Touches of Mexican-patterned textiles and handcrafted furniture pieces are woven into the design in tribute to the local setting. As you head down toward the ocean, you can savour whole fish and meats cooked over mesquite at Humo, while a cellar boasting some 1,000 vintages — including 50 Mexican labels — promises to satisfy even the most discerning thirst. From the dunes of Baja, you can even spot whales during the season, drawn close to the shore by curiosity.
