Wellness Retreat Catering on Maui
Nourishing the experience, from the kitchen to the table.
For more than a decade, Lotus Chefs has been part of Maui’s retreat community, creating thoughtful meals and warm hospitality for yoga retreats, women’s gatherings, wellness immersions, spiritual retreats, workshops, and transformational experiences.
Nourishing the full retreat experience
We see retreats as sacred opportunities to connect, expand, restore, and nourish. And we believe the food is an integral part of that experience.
We know how much intention goes into creating a retreat: the teachers you invite, the practices you share, the space you choose, the energy you cultivate, and the journey you hope your guests will experience. We bring that same level of care and intention to the way they are fed.
Our all-women culinary and hospitality team brings decades of combined experience across food, wellness, and retreat spaces, with backgrounds that extend beyond the kitchen into holistic nutrition, Ayurveda, yoga, raw and living foods, wildcrafting, herbalism, and other healing modalities.
There is no single way wellness needs to look on the plate.
Our role is to listen to the intention behind your retreat, understand the people you’re bringing together, and create food and hospitality that feel aligned with both.

NOURISHMENT THROUGHOUT YOUR STAY
Mealtimes Support Your Retreat Rituals
Every retreat has its own rhythm, and our role can look different within each one. Menus are built around your retreat philosophy, guest needs, schedule, seasonality, and budget rather than a fixed package.
We can step in as your culinary team throughout the stay, supporting your guests with multiple meals and thoughtful hospitality each day, and build your culinary program around the natural rhythm of your gathering, mixing lighter meals with more abundant ones, self-serve moments with full hospitality, and everyday nourishment with something truly special.
And while we love being the same team that supports you throughout your stay, we also love joining to celebrate special moments, from an abundant welcome dinner to a beautifully styled closing celebration.
Breakfast + Brunch: From yogi continental spreads to leisurely full-service brunches, always with fresh fruit, medicinal teas, local coffee, and plenty to nourish the morning ahead.
Lunch + Daytime Service:Colorful, produce-forward midday meals, from abundant salads and nourishing bowls to beautiful shared spreads designed to refuel without slowing everyone down.
Family-Style Dinners: Generous platters and beautiful shared dishes designed for passing around the table, talking story, and coming back together at the end of the day.together.
Elevated + Plated Dining: A more refined, coursed experience for welcome dinners, closing celebrations, special evenings, or any night that deserves a little extra magic.
Ceremonial Food + Beverage: Cacao, medicinal and herbal teas, botanical elixirs, intentional beverages, and other offerings thoughtfully incorporated into the experience when aligned with your retreat.
Styled Grazing + Gathering: Abundant grazing tables, local produce, beautiful bites, florals, and thoughtful styling for arrivals, poolside afternoons, workshops, or relaxed gathering time.
Camellia Experiences: Vintage tea rituals, botanical cocktail hours, inner-child tea parties, champagne gatherings, and immersive styled moments created with our sister company, Camellia Tea Society.
Choose a little or a lot. We’ll help you create a culinary rhythm that feels natural to your retreat, your guests, and the experience you’re here to create.
INTENTION, BEYOND THE MENU
Our team speak the language of wellness
Beautiful retreat hospitality goes beyond what appears on the plate. Many members of our team have spent years within wellness communities themselves, as yoga teachers, mothers, gardeners, foragers, nutrition practitioners, artists, and students of various healing traditions. We understand and respect that entering a retreat environment means becoming part of something someone else has thoughtfully created, while also contributing what brings us immense joy.
love in every bite
intention + gratitude + intuition
We cook with intention, generosity, and genuine care, creating meals that nourish your guests while feeling aligned with the deeper purpose of your retreat.
high-vibe ingredients
local + organic + sustainable
We use beautiful local and organic ingredients, sourcing and prioritizing from small and local Maui farms, waters, makers, and purveyors.
divine feminine
grace + care + warmth
Our all-women team brings an intuitive, creative, and deeply thoughtful approach to hospitality, with warmth and attention to detail.
food for every belly

Pure Nourishment, No Dogma
"Healthy" food is whatever brings joy to your body and spirit.
Our retreat menus tend to be colorful, seasonal, produce-forward, and deeply nourishing, with proteins, grains, vegetables, fresh fruit, local ingredients, and thoughtful indulgences balanced throughout the stay.
Across our team, you’ll find backgrounds in holistic nutrition, Ayurvedic cooking, yoga, raw and living foods, plant-based cuisine, wildcrafting, gardening, foraging, and other wellness practices.
Some retreats are entirely plant-based. Others want fresh fish, local meats, abundant protein, or a little dessert after dinner. Most fall somewhere beautifully in between. Depending on whether your intention is grounding, cleansing, uplifting, spoiling, or purely physical, we create a menu to support it.
We don’t impose our definition of wellness onto your retreat. We listen to yours.
Wellness Retreat Investment
We believe it’s helpful to have a realistic sense of investment for your planning purposes, and always aim for transparency.
Because every booking includes the chef team, planning, shopping, on-site preparation, setup, service, and cleanup, smaller retreats naturally have a higher per-person investment while larger retreats share those foundational service costs.
Sample rates are below to support your planning:
40 guests
$ 145
per person per day for three meals*25 guests
$ 160
per person per day for three meals*18 guests
$ 175

Luxury Retreat Ceremonial Dinner
ONE UNFORGETTABLE EVENING
Not every retreat needs full culinary support to experience Lotus Chefs.
For groups working with another caterer, preparing some meals themselves, or simply wanting to create one extraordinary moment during the week, we can join you for a single signature evening.
Imagine the final night of the retreat: a beautifully styled table, an elevated multi-course or family-style menu, flowers and candlelight, everyone dressed for dinner, and nowhere else to be.
The evening can stand beautifully on its own or become part of a larger closing ritual with cacao, tea, florals, or another intentional experience.
ROOTED ON MAUI
Island Ingredients, Made for Sharing
Maui is home, and its farms, waters, makers, and multicultural food traditions are woven throughout the way we cook.
Whenever seasonality and quality allow, we prioritize ingredients grown, raised, caught, and created here in Hawaiʻi, from fresh produce and seafood to local meats, sourdough, honey, jams, pastries, and other special touches.
Our menus draw inspiration from Hawaiʻi’s layered culinary history and generations of cultural exchange across the islands, alongside the backgrounds, travels, and creativity of our individual chefs.
The result is colorful, seasonal, island-inspired cooking that feels connected to Maui without asking every person at the table to have the same palate.
Local produce goal: 90%
Chef + hospitality team: all wahine
Maui first: whenever possible
Makers we love: small + local
Guest reviews: all 5 star
Made for you: menus thoughtfully customized
Rooted on Maui, inspired by the people around our table. Every gathering brings together local ingredients, thoughtful hospitality, and a little bit of each chef’s own story.
RITUAL + CELEBRATION
Ceremony Beyond the Dinner Table
Through our sister company, Camellia Tea Society, retreat meals can expand into beautifully styled experiences designed around connection, ritual, celebration, and play.
Botanical Welcome
A beautifully styled welcome gathering with botanical cocktails or zero-proof elixirs, florals, vintage glassware, and light bites. A gentle way for guests to arrive, settle in, and begin connecting before the retreat formally begins.
Cacao + Closing Dinner
Pair your closing retreat dinner with an intentional cacao experience, creating space to gather, reflect, and close the retreat together.
Inner Child Tea Party
Whimsical, nostalgic, and intentionally playful. A vintage tea experience designed around joy, creativity, reconnection, and giving grown women permission to play again.
Flora + Medicine + Beauty Workshops
Creating connection, knowledge, beauty, and ritual. Let’s circle together to blend our own herbal teas, string leis, make potions, or make natural body care products.
The sky is the limit on how we can collaborate. Let's make your retreat a little more beautiful together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide full-service wellness retreat catering on Maui?
Yes. Lotus Chefs has supported multi-day wellness retreats on Maui for more than a decade. We can create a customized culinary plan across your stay, including breakfasts, lunches, dinners, provisioning, snacks, and special-event meals depending on your schedule and needs.
Can we hire Lotus Chefs for only one retreat meal?
Absolutely. Our Signature Retreat Dinner is designed for retreats that want to create one particularly meaningful culinary experience during their stay, whether we’re joining another food program or simply supporting one special evening.
Do you cater vegan or plant-based retreats?
Yes. We regularly accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, allergy-sensitive, plant-forward, and mixed-diet groups. Rather than applying one definition of wellness to every retreat, we design menus around your group’s philosophy and dietary needs.
Can you accommodate high-protein retreat menus?
Yes. Wellness means different things to different groups. We regularly include fish, meat, eggs, plant-based proteins, and other protein-rich options based on your preferences and budget.
Can you provide every meal during our retreat?
Yes, depending on schedule and availability. We can provide comprehensive multi-day chef service on Maui, or support only the meals where having a chef makes the greatest difference. Many groups choose a combination of hosted meals, provisioning, family-style dining, brunches, and one or two elevated dinners.
Do your chefs have wellness training?
Yes. Members of our team bring backgrounds in areas including holistic nutrition, Ayurvedic cooking, yoga, raw and living foods, plant-based cuisine, wildcrafting, gardening, and foraging alongside their culinary experience.
Can you incorporate ceremony or ritual into the experience?
Yes, when invited. Depending on your retreat and our team’s availability, we can incorporate experiences such as cacao, botanical beverages, tea, florals, or other intentional elements. We can also collaborate with Camellia Tea Society or other local vendors to create more immersive welcome, closing, and celebratory experiences.
How large a group can you accommodate?
We’re happiest serving approximately 10–25 guests, although we can accommodate groups up to 60+ depending on the property’s kitchen, menu, staffing requirements, equipment, and logistics.
What does our retreat property need?
For most hosted services, we need access to a functional kitchen with an oven, cooking surface, sink, refrigerator, and basic kitchenware. The kitchen facilities should also be appropriate for your group size and the menus being prepared, with adequate refrigeration, cooking capacity, prep space, and access for our culinary team. Your property should also have sufficient dining and service space for your guest count and chosen style of meal, whether that’s a casual family-style dinner, buffet, or fully plated experience. Lotus Chefs provides specialty culinary equipment as needed. We’ll review your property, kitchen, guest count, and proposed menus in advance and let you know if additional equipment, rentals, or logistical arrangements are recommended.
What’s the difference between Wellness Retreat Catering and Corporate Retreat Catering?
Both experiences are supported by the same Lotus Chefs culinary and hospitality team, but they’re designed around very different kinds of gatherings.
Our Wellness Retreat Catering is rooted in nourishment, intention, and the rhythm of retreat, with menus and experiences that can incorporate plant-forward cuisine, specialized dietary needs, ceremonial elements, and collaborations with Camellia Tea Society.
Our Corporate Retreat + Executive Offsite Catering is designed around professional groups, with bespoke private chef service, generous menus, premium proteins, polished hospitality, and flexible meal service coordinated around meetings, activities, and offsite schedules.
