For the person who would quite like to sit down at dinner.
A private chef in Curaçao.
Dinner can be arranged.
A lovely kitchen. An even lovelier thought: you don’t have to be the person in it. Let me explain what can be arranged.
Who’s making dinner?
A beautiful kitchen is a start. A clear meal plan is better.
The short answer
A private chef can mean one dinner, breakfast at the estate or a longer arrangement. Before choosing a villa in Curaçao, confirm which meals will actually be cooked there, who buys the ingredients and whether service and cleanup are included. A kitchen photograph cannot answer those questions. It does look lovely, though.
My family arranges a seven-night private-estate week in Jan Thiel. Easy covers every dinner. All Inclusive adds breakfast, lunch and the estate open bar. Your meals can take you out to local restaurants as well as keeping you at the estate.
What chef service is included?
All Inclusive breakfast choices include a private chef's breakfast at the estate, groceries for breakfast at home, The Coffee Bike or Brisa del Mar. My family helps arrange your choices. A resident chef, or a private chef dinner every evening, is not a standard inclusion stated in Easy or All Inclusive.
If you want a particular chef dinner, a celebration menu or several meals cooked at home, tell Boy before the week is agreed. Ask my family to confirm availability, the menu, service and any extra charge in your personal proposal. An enquiry is not a confirmed chef booking.
Your meals, by Dushi Week
Easy: every dinner is arranged
Seven dinners are included: five at local hot spots, the BBQ aboard Captain Magic Mike's boat and the Sunset Club Beach BBQ. Meet the restaurant tables. My family arranges your grocery shopping; you pay the receipt cost. Breakfast, lunch and drinks are your own expense.
All Inclusive: breakfast, lunch and dinner
Everything in Easy, plus breakfast, lunch and the estate open bar. My family helps you choose the breakfast arrangements and local lunch stops around your plans. A daily estate reset and a standby driver in Jan Thiel are also included.
That gives the week room to breathe. Breakfast at home. Lunch after a swim. A dinner reservation someone else remembered to make. Tell my family where you would like to eat. They’ll make the plan clear. I recommend leaving room for a long conversation.
How much does a private chef in Curaçao cost?
For a separately arranged chef, request a written quote for your dates, number of diners and menu. I don’t list a standalone chef tariff here. Ask whether the total includes ingredients, drinks, dietary substitutions, service, cleanup, travel, taxes and any gratuity. Also confirm minimum diners and cancellation terms.
The price of a Dushi Week is the price of a whole holiday package, not a chef hire rate. For four guests and seven nights, Dushi Week Easy is US$10,950 total and Dushi Week All Inclusive is US$19,460 total. The displayed nightly comparisons are about US$390 and US$700 per person, rounded to the nearest US$10. Water, electricity, cleaning and taxes are included; flights, travel insurance, personal purchases and agreed extras are separate. See the current group prices and inclusions.
Five things to settle before your chef evening
- The occasion. A quiet dinner for two, a birthday table and an early children's meal need different plans.
- The people. Give the number of adults and children, their ages and dietary needs.
- The menu. Confirm the dishes, ingredients and which drinks are covered.
- The service. Agree the arrival time, meal time, serving and cleanup.
- The total. Have the final inclusions and extra charges written into your proposal.
My contribution to the dinner plan?
An excellent understanding of when to sit down.
Choose the estate around the table, too
Think about sleeping arrangements, the place everyone will sit and the pool you want. Dushi Hideaway has three king bedrooms and a private pool with a swim-up bar. Palm Breeze has two king bedrooms, one queen bedroom and a private pool. Both sleep six. Those details help you choose a home base; chef arrangements still need their own confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
Can we have a private chef every night?
Tell Boy that this is what you want, and ask for a specific proposal. It is not an automatic inclusion in the standard weeks. Confirm whether my family can arrange it for your dates and what it would cost before booking.
Can you accommodate allergies and dietary needs?
Tell my family before your week is designed. Ask them to confirm what the chef and restaurants can accommodate, including any preparation requirements. The agreed meal plan should reflect those answers.
Is breakfast included in Easy?
No. Easy includes every dinner; breakfast, lunch and drinks are your own expense. All Inclusive adds every meal and the estate open bar, with breakfast choices arranged through my family.
How do we start?
Apply for a Week and book a roughly five-minute Zoom with Boy. Tell him about your people, dates and the meals you imagine. If it fits, my family spends about two days building your personal website, then walks you through the week on a short handover call.
