Personal Chefs & Private Dining
Personal Chefs & Private Dining
Elevate your getaway with bespoke culinary experiences prepared directly in the comfort of your private villa. From invigorating morning breakfasts on the terrace to authentic regional feasts and multi-course celebration dinners, private dining turns every meal into a highlight of your stay.
ShavyStays connects guests with available villa teams or third-party culinary providers, where offered, who tailor menus, dietary preferences, and meal schedules to your group. Because kitchen setups, ingredient sourcing, and culinary capabilities vary across our destinations, private dining services are customized per villa.

Designed Around Your Stay
Dining in a private villa provides freedom, flexibility, and comfort. Whether enjoying a lazy morning breakfast by your private pool or hosting an intimate evening barbecue on the veranda, in-villa dining allows your group to savor meals without the constraints of commercial restaurant schedules.
Because each property features unique kitchen equipment, dining areas, and regional sourcing options, culinary services are structured specifically for each villa. ShavyStays helps coordinate meal preferences in advance so culinary teams can prepare ingredients and staffing tailored to your holiday.
Sharing dietary preferences early ensures that local culinary teams can source fresh ingredients and craft menus that accommodate all members of your traveling party smoothly.
