There’s something special about dining on Maui — the warm air, the ocean breeze, the fragrance of plumeria, and the sound of waves in the background. For guests visiting Hawai‘i or locals looking to celebrate, dining is more than a meal — it’s an experience.
That’s where the Private Chef Maui experience comes in. Whether you’re staying in a villa in Wailea, a resort in Kaanapali, or overlooking the sunset in Lahaina, hiring a private chef turns your evening into something unforgettable — equal parts restaurant-level dining and Maui soul.
Why Hire a Private Chef on Maui
A private chef gives you more than great food — it’s personalized service, customization, and comfort.
Instead of waiting for a table at a crowded restaurant, everything comes to you:
Custom menus tailored to your taste and dietary needs
Local Maui ingredients prepared fresh on-site
Professional plating, setup, and cleanup
Full-service fine dining with restaurant-quality presentation
Most guests describe it as “the highlight of our trip.” You get to relax, enjoy your friends and family, and still experience the best cuisine Maui has to offer — in your own private setting.
Luxury Meets Local — The Maui Way
At Jason Raffin Maui Private Chef, every dish tells a story of the islands. It starts with locally sourced ingredients — the canoe crops that have nourished Hawai‘i for generations: taro, coconut, sweet potato, breadfruit, and fresh island fish.
Blending those traditions with modern culinary technique, Chef Jason brings years of Michelin-level training to the laid-back rhythm of Maui. The result? Dishes that feel refined but grounded — luxury dining with aloha.
Signature Menus
Chef Jason’s menus are crafted to celebrate the diversity of Hawaiian ingredients and global inspiration:
