A long table laid on the deck under the great trees, the low sun coming through the branches

The hour is yours, and so is the place.

The table · In every villa

Nobody eats at eight because it is eight.

The deck, the fire, or an island in the water.

01Your own chef

A kitchen in the villa, and a chef who cooks for you.

The chef attached to your villa cooks in the kitchen of your lounge house, or over the fire wherever the table is laid. The menu is written around you, and you are welcome in the kitchen while it happens.

The chef cooking over the fire by the lagoon — Over the fire

A bowl of cherry tomatoes, cucumber and feta with fresh herbs — Lunch

The chef finishing a plate with a spoon of sauce while a guest photographs it — The last spoon of sauce

02Where it is laid

Dinner arrives where the day happened to end.

Lanterns, fire, and a table laid on the floodplain for one villa and no one else. Or indoors, in the lounge house, when the evening turns cold.

A table laid in the lounge house under a lantern, the billiard table behind — In the lounge house

A round table laid by the lagoon, the sun setting over the water — By the lagoon at sunset

A table laid out on the grass in the bush, with lanterns — Out in the bush

Breakfast laid on a wooden table, elephants crossing the floodplain behind it — Breakfast, with the herd going past

A guest smiling over her coffee at breakfast, elephants walking past in the distance — Coffee first

03In the glass

The house pours, and the rest comes on request.

Every meal and the house beverages are part of the stay. Premium wines and rare spirits are brought in for you when you ask for them.
