Along the coastline of Los Cabos, where the desert meets the Sea of Cortés, Zadún, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve welcomes the holidays with a season built around stars, firelight, and gathering. From December 21 through January 3, the property’s “Ignite the Stars” festive program brings together wellness rituals, culinary events, and family traditions set against Baja California Sur’s wide desert skies and Pacific views.
A Season Under the Stars
The theme carries through nearly every experience on the calendar, from stargazing sessions on the Event Lawn to a New Year’s Eve celebration inspired by the constellations overhead. Guests are invited to slow down and mark the turn of the year in a setting shaped by warmth, tradition, and the natural rhythms of the destination.
Wellness Moments
Sensei Spa anchors the season’s quieter offerings. Guests can join a loving-kindness meditation focused on gratitude, a facial sculpting class designed to renew the skin after a season of celebration, and a year-end reflection session meant to close out 2026 with intention. On New Year’s Day, a vision board workshop at the Cultural Lounge pairs creative expression with guided meditation to help set the tone for 2027.
Culinary Celebrations
Zadún’s restaurants each take on their own festive character. El Barrio hosts a Christmas Eve Posada filled with mariachi music and traditional Mexican fare, along with a Mexican Roots evening built around the same spirit of celebration. Along Equis Beach, a Fish Market experience lets guests select the day’s freshest catch for a personalized dinner. At Humo, the property’s fire-driven restaurant, a Christmas Dinner brings elegant, intimate dining to the holiday, while New Year’s Eve culminates in “Ignite the Stars,” a celebration built around starlight, toasts, and the vastness of the night sky.
Family and Kids Activities
Younger guests have a full calendar of their own through the Ambassadors of the Environment Center, founded on Jean-Michel Cousteau’s legacy of ocean conservation and education. Programming ranges from letter-writing to Santa and holiday sculpting sessions to a property-wide treasure hunt in search of a hidden elf. Families can also gather for the Christmas Fair and Tree Lighting Ceremony, Santa’s arrival on the Event Lawn, and an open-air movie night on Equis Beach beneath the stars.
Beyond Festive
For guests looking to extend the celebration, Zadún offers a set of experiences built around the destination itself. Private dining moments can be arranged across the resort’s most scenic settings, from secluded terraces to open-air backdrops overlooking the Sea of Cortés. Yacht excursions trace the Los Cabos coastline in search of hidden coves, and a guided whale watching outing with the property’s marine biologists offers a closer look at one of Baja’s most remarkable natural events. Golf is also close at hand at nearby Puerto Los Cabos, where ocean views meet the surrounding desert landscape.
