Culinary Experience & Private Chef Dining in Tulum
Three Ways to Dine. One Seamless Stay.
At Villa Bella Vita, dining is designed to match how you want to vacation. Some guests want full flexibility, others want ease and comfort, and some want a fully hosted, elevated culinary journey.
To support every style of stay, we offer three distinct dining options—each thoughtfully designed to give you clarity, comfort, and choice.
Pay-As-You-Go
Flexible, Guest-Directed Dining
Pay-As-You-Go is ideal for guests who prefer full control over what is purchased and consumed during their stay.
With this option, groceries and beverages are selected à la carte based on your preferences and ordered as needed. Items are purchased on your behalf and delivered to the villa.
How it works
- You choose all food and beverage items
- Purchases are made and delivered upon request
- A 30% purchase and delivery fee applies
- Additional orders can be placed anytime during your stay
What to expect
This option offers flexibility but requires active decision-making throughout your vacation. Guests often place multiple orders as the week progresses—especially for beverages.
Best for
- Short stays
- Light eaters or minimal drinkers
- Guests who prefer managing orders and inventory closely
Most guests spend $50+ per person per day on food and beverages before fees.
Standard Guest Experience
Comfortable, Prix Fixe Villa Dining
The Standard Guest Experience is a relaxed, prix fixe dining option designed for ease, abundance, and comfort.
Meals are prepared daily and served family-style, focusing on familiar flavors, generous portions, and a smooth rhythm to the day—so you can fully enjoy your time together without planning or interruptions.
What’s included
- Daily breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
- Fresh, approachable dishes inspired by coastal and local flavors
- Family-friendly menus with flexibility for preferences
- No mid-stay orders, approvals, or surprise costs
Why guests love it
Everything is arranged in advance. Food and beverages are stocked from day one, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the villa without tracking consumption or making decisions.
Best for
- Families and longer stays
- Guests who value simplicity and predictability
- Groups who want an easy, stress-free experience
Premium Culinary Experience
A Fully Curated, Chef-Driven Journey
The Premium Culinary Experience transforms dining into one of the highlights of your stay.
Every meal is thoughtfully curated with layered flavors, refined presentation, and a sense of occasion—woven seamlessly into the flow of each day. This is dining as an experience, not just a convenience.
What sets it apart
- Elevated menus crafted by our culinary team
- Refined presentation and intentional pacing
- Special touches that create memorable moments
- Ideal for celebrations, reunions, and milestone stays
The experience
From vibrant breakfasts to candlelit dinners, Premium dining is designed to feel hosted, indulgent, and unforgettable—without you needing to think about logistics.
Best for
- Celebrations and special occasions
- Guests who value artistry and storytelling through food
- Those seeking a luxury, fully hosted experience
Choosing the Right Experience
Choose Pay-As-You-Go if you want:
- Full control over every purchase
- Very light food and beverage consumption
- Maximum flexibility, even if it requires more involvement
Choose Prix Fixe (Standard or Premium) if you want:
- One clear price before arrival
- Fully stocked food and beverages from day one
- No mid-stay requests or additional charges
- A smooth, uninterrupted vacation
Most guests find that Prix Fixe experiences feel easier—and often cost less—than Pay-As-You-Go once restocks and delivery fees are considered
Our Recommendation
For the most seamless and relaxing stay, we strongly recommend selecting Standard or Premium Prix Fixe dining at booking. It allows you to arrive, settle in, and truly disconnect—while we take care of the rest.
Your table is ready.
