Inside the actress’s lavish birthday getaway with fiancé Van Hunt at one of Mexico’s most coveted resorts.
A Milestone Birthday, Cabo Style
Halle Berry rang in a major milestone this August, and she did it in style. The Oscar-winning actress and longtime women’s health advocate spent part of her birthday month at an ultra-exclusive resort in one of Mexico’s most in-demand travel destinations, documenting the celebration for fans across social media throughout the weeks that followed.
Berry turned 60 on August 14, and days later she began sharing glimpses of the getaway with fiancé Van Hunt, the 56-year-old Grammy-winning singer. The two stayed at Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve property, where photos showed the couple soaking up the sun, sipping beachside cocktails and sharing quiet, affectionate moments away from the spotlight.
In an early post, Berry reflected on standout parts of the trip, pointing to the resort’s cuisine, its wellness offerings, a hands-on wine-making session and excursions out on the water as highlights of the celebration. A later update, posted August 23, offered a more playful side of the trip, with footage of the couple dancing, singing and marking the occasion with sparklers during what she described as lighthearted moments together.
The Cabo celebration wasn’t a standalone trip, either. It followed an earlier excursion Berry took with her children to a private island in Fiji, also tied to her birthday, making August something of a monthlong celebration split between family time and a couple’s escape.

Inside the Zadún Experience
Zadún sits in San José del Cabo, part of Mexico’s Baja California Sur region, and has built a reputation as one of the area’s top-tier properties. The resort carries a Forbes Five-Star rating, two Michelin Keys and a strong average rating from guests online.
As a Ritz-Carlton “Reserve” destination, Zadún belongs to a small collection of properties the brand markets as rare, immersive escapes built around cultural connection and understated luxury rather than flash. With 113 rooms, suites and villas, the resort is designed for guests seeking privacy without sacrificing polish, blending modern architecture with design details drawn from local craftsmanship.
A Sanctuary of Quiet Luxury
What sets the property apart, beyond its accolades, is the range of experiences built into a stay. Private dining setups, multiple pool and beach configurations, and curated excursions give guests plenty of ways to fill their days, while the overall pace of the resort leans relaxed rather than rigid. It’s the kind of place built for milestone moments — the sort of trip a couple might plan around a big birthday rather than a routine vacation.
Wellness, the Sensei Way
Zadún’s approach to hospitality extends well beyond the beach. Its on-site Sensei spa offers an extensive menu of body treatments and massages, along with one-on-one wellness consultations designed to help guests set intentions around sleep, movement and mental health. Beyond standard spa fare, treatments range from warm oil massages to body scrubs and poultice-based therapies, giving guests a chance to unwind in ways that go beyond a typical resort day.
For Berry, long known for her advocacy around women’s health and wellness, a property built around that kind of holistic care appears to have been a fitting choice for a birthday that clearly carried personal significance. Between the wellness offerings, the scenery and the company, the Cabo stay capped off a birthday month that took her from a private island in Fiji to one of Mexico’s most exclusive coastal retreats — a fitting bookend to a milestone year.
