Where a villa chef travels in Bali and what each area adds: the included zone, flat fees for Sanur, Ubud, Uluwatu and Jimbaran, and what to tell us first.

On our Uluwatu page the travel fee is stated as a flat fee per booking. Your written quote shows exactly how travel applies to your dates, so check that line before you pay the deposit.
The day rate does not change by area
Wherever the villa is, the full-day booking is the same: a chef plus a dedicated assistant for about 10 guests, three meals you place as breakfast, lunch or dinner, and full kitchen cleanup after every meal. The rate is IDR 2,700,000++ per day, IDR 2,430,000++ from 7 days and IDR 2,160,000++ from 28 days. Groceries are billed at cost with receipts. See myCHEF pricing for every rate.
The included zone
Canggu, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Berawa and Pererenan are the core zone, so travel is included. If your villa is on the edge of the zone, send the exact location and we confirm it in the quote.
Sanur and Ubud
Sanur has a flat travel fee of IDR 100,000. Ubud has a flat fee of IDR 350,000. For villas around Ubud, a map pin and access notes help the team plan the first arrival.

Send the villa name or map pin, your dates and guest count. We reply within 1 hour with the chef team quote and the travel line.
Uluwatu, Jimbaran and the Bukit
Uluwatu and Jimbaran carry a flat travel fee of IDR 200,000 to 400,000. Some cliff-top properties have steep drives, gates or a long walk from parking to the kitchen, so share the exact property entrance and the team can review the real access before confirming. For villas elsewhere on the peninsula, see our Bukit guide; the fee is confirmed in your quote.
Nusa Dua, the north and the east
The service is island-wide. Areas outside the published fee list, such as Nusa Dua, the north and the east of Bali, are quoted case by case. We never guess a fee: it is itemised in your quote before you confirm.
What to share about your villa
- The villa name and a map pin, not just the area.
- Your dates and the number of guests, adults and children.
- Gate, parking and access notes for the kitchen.
- The meals you want each day.
- Any party night or bigger table during the stay.
We inspect the villa and kitchen first so the kitchen meets our standard. Normal notice is 3 days and 2 days is fine. A next-day start is sometimes possible if you contact us first, but there are no bookings for the day you message. If your stay includes one bigger night, see adding a party night to a villa chef stay.
