Mallorca’s peak season months, from June to August, see the island’s highest demand for private chefs. We suggest you secure your chef months in advance for peace of mind. However, ocean earth chefs connections with the local private chef community can often secure short and season-long placements, with little notice.
Our private villa and yacht chefs can infuse menus with Mallorcan flavours, providing guests with an authentic taste of the island’s heritage, or create international dishes with equal expertise and flair. They can cater to all dietary needs and are known for their friendly, highly professional, and discreet service.
After a day of boutique shopping in Palma or unwinding in a secluded cala, guests can return to bespoke meals crafted by their in-house team. Think: a paella with fresh local seafood for lunch, or a Michelin star dinner served on your yacht or villa terrace, paired with local wine. + Read More
