Anthony Gallo
Executive chef
Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara
Anthony joined Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara when the resort opened in October 2008 and he quickly became accustomed to late bookings.
The resort offers a unique Dining by Design concept for guests to enjoy private dining in
secluded locations around the resort with an on-hand chef.
It is therefore up to Anthony to use his expertise to pull together a three course gourmet dinner and five star set up, off site, with a dedicated team on hand.
Being based on an island poses the biggest challenge for Anthony who is a master at planning F&B orders.

The island is still very close to the heart of the royal family and Anthony is often faced with visits from VIPs and Sheikhs from the UAE with little advanced warning.
Despite the demands and unpredictability of some of the requests, he uses his capabilities to smoothly present a different mouth watering banquet each and every time.
He is always looking for ways of going over and above what is expected from F&B outlets of this calibre, creating a world class experience on a desert island.
