Meet the Chef

Xavi Jaramillo, born and raised on Aruba fell in love with cooking at 16, the only one in my family drawn to the kitchen. Since then, I’ve worked in top restaurants in Aruba and the Netherlands, always chasing flavor, precision, and creativity.

Today, I bring elevated Caribbean and South American cuisine to your private villa with The Experience — where bold flavors, beautiful plating, and warm island hospitality come together in one unforgettable meal.

I take pride in every dish I craft by hand, using only the best ingredients and treating food with the respect it deserves. Aruba’s vibrant cultural mix is the soul of my cooking, and my mission is simple: create luxurious, intimate dining moments you’ll never forget.
