Andaz brings out some of the best of its signature resort restaurants
Andaz, translated from Hindi, means “personal style.” The Andaz brand represents unapologetic self-expression and the pursuit of individuality. Each Andaz property embodies this ethos, offering unique experiences that encourage guests to move, indulge, play and be themselves without restraint. Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows will be a home base for the fusion of three of these vibrant properties from inspiring corners of the world.
Costa Rican chef’s table
From the Papagayo Peninsula overlooking Costa Rica’s Culebra Bay, Andaz Peninsula Papagayo will be Scottsdale’s first culinary partner with experiences over October 17-20. In addition to limited edition brunch, dinner and cocktail menus created by Papagayo’s Executive Chef Bruno Alves, Weft & Warp will feature a Costa Rican crudo station as well as a 6-course Chef’s Table experience available where guests will be exclusively seated in the glass-walled exhibition kitchen and served directly by Chef Bruno and Weft & Warp’s Executive Chef Sammy DeMarco, who will walk through each curated course.
Hawaiian Island charm
From November 7-9, the spirit of aloha will be introduced to Scottsdale by Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, the luxurious 15-acre beachfront property situated on Maui’s premier southwestern coastline along Mōkapu Beach. Executive Chef Ritchard Cariaga of the iconic Wailea resort will bring a taste of the islands to Weft & Warp menus, a poke-making class, and luau-style Chef’s Table experience for up to 10 guests per seating. Throughout the week guests will indulge in local and indigenous Hawaiian ingredients such as taro, poi, ulu, and li hing mui. Bringing island charm to the desert, guests visiting Andaz Scottsdale during the series will enjoy live idyllic ukulele music on the patio, complimentary leis, and festive Hawaiian decor.
Mexico Yucatán Peninsula table-side
Lastly, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya will join forces with Andaz Scottsdale over December 12-14. Limited-edition menus designed by Chef Miguel Gomez will be inspired by Mexico’s northeast Yucatán Peninsula. Guests can also partake in a Mexican cooking class and enjoy the exclusive Chef’s Table experience featuring flavors of the Riviera Maya.
“We’re so excited to bring together the wonderful cultures, flavors, and influences of beloved Andaz properties from around the world here in Scottsdale,” says Carlos Morales, general manager of Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows. “The Andaz brand is committed to self-expression, standout design and innovative culinary experiences. This series will serve to celebrate the dynamic individuality of our brand counterparts.”
