Calidez

Curated events in Andalusia.

Approach

We design each event around the occasion, not a template.

Andalusia has remarkable produce, beautiful venues, and light that makes everything feel possible. What's harder to find is the attention to detail that turns a good event into a memorable one.

We work the way we've always worked — personally, from the first conversation to the last guest leaving. No packages, no set menus, no team you haven't met. Just two people who care about getting it right.

Based in Estepona. Working across Marbella, Sotogrande, and the Costa del Sol.

Who we are

Two people. One standard.

We've spent our careers in some of the most demanding kitchens and operations in the business. We brought that experience to Andalusia because we believe the standard here should match the setting.

Matt

Chef

Thirty years in kitchens between Paris and London, cooking at a level where there is no room for an off night. From the intensity of fine dining in Paris to the volume and precision of London's most demanding restaurant groups — Jamie Oliver Group, Ole & Steen, Coppa Club — Matt has spent three decades learning what it takes to make every plate count. Every event Calidez creates is built on that foundation: the food isn't an afterthought or a cost line. It's the point. Bespoke to every occasion, cooked by the person who designed it.

Joe

Operations

A career running some of the most recognised hospitality brands in the UK — Jamie Oliver Group, JKS Restaurants, Coppa Club, Fortnum & Mason. Thirty years of board-level operations, multi-site leadership, and the unglamorous work of making sure the guest never has to ask twice. What Joe brings to Calidez is the part most catering companies skip: the service, the flow, the feeling that everything is handled before you even notice it needs handling. Between us, your event will be in the safest of hands.
