Meet Chef Dewa Wijaya, The Roundtree’s Personal Chef in Residence. Born and raised in Bali, Chef Dewa, a French-trained chef, is widely regarded as a pioneer in redefining wellness cuisine. His storied career includes tenures as the Executive Chef of COMO Shambhala Estate, a grand dame and innovator amongst luxury wellness resorts around the world, and COMO Parrot Cay, an award-winning Turks and Caicos resort set on its own private Caribbean Island.
Chef Dewa’s culinary ethos is rooted in a philosophy that true sustenance begins with a reverence for nutrient-rich, locally sourced ingredients, where each creation is a celebration of wellness. Intuitive and intentional, guided by centuries old traditions and a modern understanding of nutrition, Chef Dewa blends mindful sourcing and plant-forward ingredients to harness the healing power of food. More than a healthy and flavorful meal, he invites us to slow down and experience dining as a restorative practice. Divinely designed, every culinary encounter from Chef Dewa’s kitchen honors the essential, the nutritious and the delightful.
Exclusively for our Roundtree guests, Chef Dewa creates a bespoke menu tailored to your tastes and preferences. Dishes are consciously curated to invite the richness of the region into each guest experience. An alchemy of masterful preparation and mindful ingredients creates flavors that are pure, clean and deeply satisfying - a delicious sensory reset that aligns with the tranquil rhythm of your stay.
Imagine beginning your day with a cup of herbal tea and seeded toast with a savory avocado spread. An afternoon picnic lunch of spiced king prawn on cauliflower, pomegranate and quinoa tabbouleh and smoky eggplant puree. For dinner, explore restorative dishes like a salad of minced fish, coconut, turmeric, moringa leaves and long beans. As a sweet grand finale – savor caramelized coconut banana crepes or mango carpaccio.
More than a dining experience, mealtimes become a ritual of care: quietly luxurious, thoughtfully seasonal, and tailored to wholeness, discovery and wellbeing. A moveable feast to be enjoyed on our sunny lawn, beneath the sparkling stars, or delivered to your cottage.
In a unique extension of his residency, guests who wish to tap into Chef Dewa’s expertise outside the grounds of The Roundtree will have the opportunity to bring it into their own homes in the Hamptons or New York City. The Roundtree will offer culinary consultations and private chef services by Chef Dewa, offering a rare chance for personalized culinary experiences from one of the most respected voices in wellness cuisine.
