Born and raised in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Jose brings a vibrant Mediterranean flair to the galley of ELYSIUM I. Having attended an international school, he is fluent in both Spanish and German, and his diverse cultural background is reflected in his dynamic culinary style.

Jose has built an impressive résumé, having worked in some of Europe’s most exclusive locations. At the prestigious Villa Chenoiserie in St. Tropez, he was responsible for creating bespoke menus tailored to the individual tastes of guests, from elegant breakfasts to themed dining evenings. He further honed his skills at Le Chardon Mountain Lodges in Val d’Isère, a five-star chalet company and winner of the 2012 World Travel Awards.
Jose is renowned for his innovative approach to cooking, expertly combining flavours, textures, and colours to craft imaginative dishes with exceptional presentation.

Outside the galley, Jose has a keen interest in sport, both playing and watching, and is also an advanced snowboarder who enjoys the thrill of the slopes as much as the serenity of the sea.
