If you’ve made your way to Santa Teresa, you’ve probably already fallen under its spell — breathtaking sunsets, sound of the ocean, scent of salt and jungle air, and that feeling that life rythm just… slows down.

Between surf sessions, sunsets, and slow mornings with good coffee, food becomes more than just a meal — it’s how you connect with this place. And there’s no better way to experience the flavors and spirit of Santa Teresa than by having a private chef cook just for you.

Why the Private Chef Experience Is So Special in Costa Rica?

Over the past few years, private dining experiences in Costa Rica have become one of the most sought-after luxuries for travelers seeking something more personal than restaurant dining.

Instead of heading to crowded spots, guests now prefer private catering in their villas or at intimate outdoor locations — surrounded by nature, candlelight, and good company. It’s relaxed luxury: tailored menus, locally sourced ingredients, and an atmosphere that feels indulgent yet effortless.

Imagine the sound of the ocean, the scent of grilled seafood, and your chef explaining the story behind every ingredient — all without leaving your villa. That’s the new way to dine in Santa Teresa.

The essence of the private dining experience is luxury that feels effortless, intimate, and deeply rooted in nature.

Farm-to-Table and Seasonality

When you hire a private chef in Santa Teresa, you’re not just booking a service — you’re tapping into this local ecosystem. Freshly caught mahi-mahi, organic greens from nearby farms, handmade tortillas, and tropical fruits that taste like sunshine.

We believe food should tell a story — one that celebrates where we are and who we’re with. Our menus shift with the seasons, inspired by what’s growing locally and what feels right for the moment.

Whether it’s a multi-course dinner with wine pairings, a barefoot beach brunch, or a romantic jungle meal under the stars, every experience is tailored to you — your tastes, your energy, your celebration.

We love cooking for weddings, engagements, birthdays, or intimate gatherings — like the sparkle of candles under the palms, the sound of laughter over shared plates, and the feeling that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Why Choose a Private Chef Over a Restaurant?

Dining with a private chef isn’t just about convenience, it’s about connection and ease.

Here’s what makes it special:

- Menus made just for you, built around your favorite flavors and dietary needs.
- Ingredients sourced locally and fresh daily, from ocean to garden.
- Setting that’s uniquely yours, whether at your home, beach or a villa.
- Unforgettable atmosphere, surrounded by nature and loved ones.
