New ‘Urban Oasis’ Boutique Hotel, Kadún, Is Coming to Downtown Cabo

CABO SAN LUCAS – Let’s be honest, planning a Cabo trip often comes with a tough choice: Do you book the massive resort far down the tourist corridor for peace and quiet, or do you stay closer to town where all the action is? A new hotel is about to argue that you can finally have both.

This fall, a stylish 110-room boutique hotel called Kadún is set to open its doors right in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. It’s a project from the well-known Mexico Grand Hotels group, but it’s a total departure from their sprawling beachfront properties. Instead of being tucked away, Kadún is planting its flag just a short walk from the Cabo marina and the always-buzzing El Médano Beach, placing guests directly in the center of the city’s energy.

The whole idea behind Kadún is to offer a different kind of Cabo experience. It’s for the person who wants to wake up and stroll to the marina for a fishing trip, decide on a whim to try a local taco spot for lunch, or walk home after a night out at Cabo Wabo without having to track down a taxi. It’s designed as a chic, peaceful home base to return to after a day of exploring.

The name itself, “Kadún,” comes from the language of the region’s native Pericú people and means “cardón cactus.” It’s a nod to the resilient, beautiful plant that dots the Baja landscape. The hotel’s design follows that lead, aiming for a grounded and authentic feel with natural colors and local materials, meant to feel more like a cool, contemporary Mexican house than a generic hotel.

But here’s the kicker, the feature that solves the classic Cabo vacation dilemma. While Kadún itself isn’t on the beach, its guests get full access to the amenities at its sister resorts.

That’s right. You can have your downtown boutique experience and your big resort day, too. Guests at Kadún can hop over to Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences or Vista Encantada Spa Resort & Residences to use their massive pools, private beaches, and restaurants. It’s a “best of both worlds” perk that’s hard to beat. You get the convenience of a city-center location with an all-access pass to the sprawling luxury Los Cabos is famous for.

Back at Kadún, the amenities are what you’d expect from a high-end boutique property. There will be a rooftop pool and sun deck for soaking up the Baja sun with a city view, a signature restaurant, a casual café for a quick coffee and bite, and a full-service spa for when you need to unwind. Rooms range from stylish standards to larger suites with their own kitchenettes and outdoor jacuzzis, perfect for longer stays or families.

Kadún is making a smart bet: that modern travelers want more than just a fly-and-flop vacation. They want to feel the pulse of the place they’re visiting. By offering a launchpad into the heart of Cabo San Lucas, with the added bonus of resort-style fun just a shuttle ride away, Kadún is shaping up to be one of the most interesting new hotels to hit the city this year.

Look for it to open in the fall of 2025, just in time for high season. The address is: Camino Real 258, El Medano Ejidal, 23453 Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur. Mexico
