With the appointment of Executive Chef Ahmad Syaiful, Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort signals a refined new direction for its culinary landscape, blending global expertise with an authentic sense of place.
Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort begins an exciting new chapter in its culinary journey with the arrival of Executive Chef Ahmad Syaiful. Known for his refined approach and quiet confidence in the power of great ingredients, Chef Ahmad brings with him a global perspective shaped by years of experience across Indonesia, the Middle East and Europe.
Chef Ahmad’s culinary style is anchored in an elegant simplicity. Rather than relying on elaborate techniques or excessive embellishment, he champions an ingredient-first philosophy that allows natural flavours to take centre stage. It is a mindset shaped by his time in Michelin-starred restaurants and respected kitchens around the world, from the experimental finesse of Kiin Kiin in Copenhagen to leadership roles at Hanzo and celebrated luxury properties in Indonesia.
Before stepping into his new role at Sofitel Bali, he served as Executive Chef at Sheraton Belitung Resort and contributed to the development of signature dining experiences at Bvlgari Resort Bali. His international exposure, rigorous training and intuitive feel for contemporary dining continue to shape a distinctive culinary vision.
His arrival is already generating quiet anticipation within the resort. Under his leadership, Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort’s restaurants are expected to embrace a renewed focus on sustainability, seasonality and the thoughtful use of local produce. Guests can look forward to menus that blend global technique with Indonesian soul, an expression of Chef Ahmad’s belief that food should be honest, heartfelt and rooted in its surroundings.
