Zadun Los Cabos, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Not every Ritz-Carlton is a neoclassical palace — Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, like the other Reserves, takes its cues from its setting: in this case San Jose del Cabo, on Mexico’s Baja California coast. The architecture is decidedly modern, while the décor in the rooms, suites, and villas incorporates local design motifs in a tasteful way, and everywhere you’re treated to the typically luxe Ritz-Carlton experience, which means top-notch comforts and service. The Spa Alkemia, naturally, does brisk business, and the restaurants and bars are carefully tailored to Los Cabos’ local culinary culture, albeit with a high-end sheen.
