Private Chef Services at Your Manuel Antonio Villa
Some of the best vacation meals happen without leaving the villa—especially when the view, the pool, and your favorite people are already there.
Why dine at the villa?
Private dining removes the coordination that comes with moving a large group to a restaurant. Children can keep their routine, adults can relax, and nobody has to leave the pool early just to organize transportation.
Choose the service that fits the occasion
An easy arrival meal keeps the first evening calm. Chef-prepared delivery works well when you want flexibility. A private chef dinner turns the villa into the setting for a memorable night, while a celebration meal gives birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions a natural focal point.
Plan the table, not just the menu
Share your dates, group size, dietary needs, preferred style of meal, and whether you are celebrating something. Explore the available dining formats and start planning at Manuel Antonio Table.
When to arrange chef services
Contact the dining team before your stay when possible, especially for larger groups, holidays, or a specific celebration date. Menus, availability, grocery arrangements, staffing, and pricing vary by the experience and are confirmed separately from your villa reservation.
A useful rhythm for a villa stay
You do not need a chef for every meal. Many groups plan one special dinner, an arrival-night option, or a relaxed breakfast, then mix in local restaurants and simple meals at home. Your Concierge can help you think through timing alongside transportation and excursions.
