Canggu's Private Chef Specialists

The myCHEF Standard in Canggu

Canggu is where surf culture meets villa living — a sprawling neighbourhood of modern pool villas, organic cafés, and long-stay guests who eat with intention. The food scene here is among Bali's best for healthy international cooking, and our Canggu guests expect the same from a private chef: fresh, nutrient-dense, globally-influenced food that matches their lifestyle. Not sure what a private chef setup looks like? Read our complete guide to hiring a private chef in Bali.

myCHEF is Canggu-based, which means faster deployment, lower travel fees, and chefs who know every villa kitchen layout from Echo Beach to the Pererenan border. We specialise in multi-day meal programmes for surf retreats and villa parties, high-energy Canggu villa catering, and elegant villa dinners that rival Canggu's best restaurants — served at your pool instead of a table on the strip.

All of our Canggu chefs are Indonesian professionals trained to international culinary standards. They are fluent in English, experienced with the full range of dietary requirements common in the area — vegan, paleo, gluten-free, Ayurvedic — and built for the social, collaborative cooking style that Canggu guests love.

The Complete Guide

Private chef & villa dining in Canggu

Private chef and villa dining in Canggu has its own easy, sun-warmed rhythm. This is surf-and-laptop country — Batu Bolong, Echo Beach, Berawa, and Pererenan — where digital nomads, young families, and groups of friends settle into large pool villas for weeks at a time. The dining brief here is different from the rest of Bali: less stuffy, more social, built around long stays and big shared tables. myCHEF fits that perfectly. Our Indonesian chefs, trained to international standards, come to your villa and cook everything fresh, whether that is a relaxed family dinner, a poolside feast for a houseful of friends, or healthy meal prep to keep the week running. With private chef dinners from around IDR 500k per person, eating well at home becomes the default, not the splurge.

Because Canggu villas tend to be bigger — five- and six-bedroom compounds with full kitchens and generous gardens — group and casual catering thrive here. We run villa and buffet catering from roughly IDR 450k per person and BBQ from around IDR 550k, which is ideal for the laid-back gatherings this area is known for: sunset grills after a surf, birthday cookouts, and Sunday-style spreads by the pool. Pricing is transparent and fixed before you book, typically quoted ++ (11% tax and 10% service), with a 50% deposit to confirm. For longer stays, many guests set up regular weekly dinners or meal prep so they can spend their days at Echo Beach or in a café and still come home to proper food.

When the occasion gets bigger, myCHEF scales with it — villa parties, plated dinners, tasting menus from around IDR 950k per person, and in-villa staff including waiters, bartenders, and hosts from about IDR 250k per hour. It is hospitality built for the way people actually live in Canggu: flexible, friendly, and low-effort for the host. We cover all of Canggu and the surrounding areas — Berawa, Batu Bolong, Pererenan, Echo Beach, Tibubeneng, and out toward Cemagi and Seseh — so your villa is well within reach. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and group size; we usually reply within one to two hours and can often arrange something for the same day or the next.
