Retreat Food & Drink Experience
Criselda Davila designs the food and drink experience for Lavish retreats. Every menu is built to be as beautiful in photographs as it is on the palate — and as effortless for the guests as it is for the camera.
From welcome cocktails at a villa in Positano to dessert tables at The Glasshouse, her hospitality turns a schedule into a story that guests will talk about long after they fly home.
Food and drink experiences are curated per retreat.
