About

Whether you're in the hands of one of our private chefs or prefer to cook with fresh island produce yourself, the villa has the right kitchen for every occasion — three of them, in fact.The outdoor kitchen takes centre stage: a Big Green Egg for open-fire barbecue, alongside a Gaggenau suite of teppanyaki, grill and gas hobs. The back kitchen is equipped for serious preparation, with a professional ice machine, a Vitamix, and a full suite of high-end appliances. And for slower mornings, the indoor kitchen flows into a generous breakfast bar — the natural heart of any unhurried island day.

'Umu

The 'umu is the ancient Polynesian earth oven — a pit dug into the ground, lined with heated stones, where food is slow-cooked wrapped in leaves. More than a cooking method, the 'umu is a ceremony of gathering: families and communities come together to prepare, wait, and share. It is the original hearth of the Pacific, a tradition that reminds us that great cooking has always been as much about connection as it is about nourishment.
