AT A GLANCE
What travelers need to know
Choose your experience, add up to five dishes, then send the full request to Wayan in one WhatsApp message.
- How it works
- The class is reserved for the guest’s booking group only. The group chooses its dishes, cooks at its own pace and receives Ubud-area pickup and return without being intentionally mixed with unrelated guests.
- Why this page is different
- Private is the default public product, not an upgrade from a shared class.
- Private format
- Public Wayan’s Paon cooking experiences are reserved for the booking group rather than intentionally mixed with unrelated join-in guests.
- Transport
- Pickup and return are included in the Ubud area. Outside Ubud is also free for bookings of 5+ guests. For 1–4 guests, transport is approximately IDR 300,000–400,000 depending on location.

Your menu, your table

DETAILED EXPERIENCE GUIDE
Know exactly what you are booking.
Your own booking group, five dishes from the master menu, a relaxed pace and a meal around the table.
How the experience flows
Skip the market and go directly into the cooking session. Lunch and dinner timing can be planned around your group, with the meal served after the cooking is finished.
How menu selection works
This experience keeps the standard Wayan’s Paon menu freedom: choose up to five confirmed dishes. Slow-cooked, specialty or advance-request items can be selected first and are confirmed in the WhatsApp reply.
Who this experience suits
Best for couples, families and small groups who care more about cooking time, privacy and menu choice than a market visit.
What makes this format different
Private is the normal public format here, not a paid upgrade from a shared class. The pace and selected dishes are planned around one booking group.
Timing & transport
The listed timing is lunch / dinner. Ubud pickup and return are free. Outside Ubud is also free for bookings of 5+ guests; groups of 1–4 outside Ubud receive a location-based transport quote before confirmation.
Meal & confirmation
The meal is part of the experience. Send the package, date, guest count, pickup area, dietary needs and any dish selections in one request; final availability and special preparation are confirmed in WhatsApp before the booking is treated as final.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A private cooking class built around your group, not a shared timetable.
Use these details to compare the experience by format, food and logistics—not only by its name.
What happens
Skip the market and go directly into the cooking session. Your group works through the selected dishes, sits down for the meal, and can ask questions without competing with unrelated join-in guests for attention.
Why the five-dish cap matters
Five confirmed dishes are enough to combine different techniques without turning the class into rushed demonstrations. A balanced menu can mix a main dish, vegetables, sambal, rice or another staple, and a sweet or drink.
Who this suits
This is the simplest fit for couples, families and small private groups that want flexibility, menu choice and a clear lunch or dinner plan without adding a market visit.
Before confirmation
Advance-request dishes, dietary needs, outside-Ubud transport for groups of 1–4 and any special timing are checked in the WhatsApp reply so the class can be prepared around the actual booking.
