A Mykonos trip built around a private chef is a different Mykonos. The island's beach club circuit runs the same way for everyone, but the villa dinner is where the difference shows. A chef in the villa kitchen turns the trip from a reservations project (Nammos at nine, Scorpios at midnight, Bill and Coo at eleven) into a home base where four of the seven nights land as a proper sit down at the house.
The homes in this collection have kitchens a real chef can work out of and enough dining volume for a group. Villa Lavan at twenty sleeps and Villa Iman at twenty four are the largest chef ready homes with proper prep space. Villa Moana in Pouli sleeps eighteen with a purpose built kitchen. Villa Elis in Elia has the south coast terrace for evening dining. Villa Mandra in Aleomandra catches sunset for the arrival dinner. Each home is staffed with housekeeping and a manager and each accepts a full chef and mixologist program our concierge sources.
The chef program is authored on the sourcing call. Menu preferences by night, dietary requirements, wine budget, service style (family plated versus tasting menu), and any staff pairings. Chef options are sent for review with sample menus and credentials. Aegean seafood, modern Greek small plates, Mediterranean tasting menus, and casual grill nights all deliver at the level a group flies for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the private chef program actually include?

How many nights should we book a chef?
Three to five nights of a seven night trip is the standard split. The arrival night, the middle four nights, and skip the town dinners at Nammos or the Sunday brunch at Kalua. Any split is possible.
