Villa & Estate Catering
Bilbao.

Dubai's private villa market creates a category of dining that does not exist in most cities: a space large enough to seat thirty to fifty guests for dinner, a kitchen that a professional can work in seriously, a pool terrace for cocktails beforehand, and no neighbours to consider. A private chef for a villa event uses all of this in a way a restaurant cannot.

Villa dinners in Dubai cover a range of formats: a seated plated dinner for ten to twenty using the villa dining room; a cocktail reception with canapés on the terrace followed by a dinner; a large shared feast for thirty to fifty for a celebration or corporate event. The format depends on the space and the occasion — discuss both with your chef before confirming.

For villa events above twenty guests, most chefs will request a site visit or photos of the kitchen in advance. This is professional practice, not hesitation — it ensures the menu is designed around what the kitchen can actually produce at scale.
