Ultra-luxury, all-villa resort One&Only Reethi Rah will be launching ‘Botanica with Matthew Kenney’ in partnership with the globally celebrated chef, renowned for being a pioneer in plant-based, sustainable cuisine. The innovative experience will showcase a mouthwatering selection of fresh, inventive, and sophisticated dishes inspired by the natural simplicity and appreciation of the ingredients, crafted together with Kenney’s creative and modern culinary flair.
Chef Kenney hails from the United States and since being named one of the country’s best new chefs by Food and Wine magazine in 1994 has garnered many accolades and accomplishments, including authoring twelve cookbooks and founding the world’s first classically structured raw food culinary academy; the Food Future Institute.

Guests can look forward to a completely plant-based dining experience curated by Chef Kenney while enveloped in Botanica’s lush and atmospheric outdoor gardens. Complementing the restaurant’s garden-to-table concept, the new menu will feature natural and local ingredients at their peak, such as king oyster mushrooms, summer squash, and banana flowers. Whether dining in the idyllic al fresco potager or surrounded by the colorful entourage of the Orchid House, Chef Kenney’s fresh flavors pair perfectly with Botanica’s Gin Bar which offers a selection of 34 gins from around the world.
