For the first time ever, Aruba will welcome a restaurant led by a Michelin-Starred Chef—and it’s happening at one of the most celebrated resorts in the world, your beloved home away from home, Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort.
Opening in Summer 2025, Terra by Jeremy Ford is set to usher in a bold new era of Caribbean fine dining. Led by Top Chef Season 13 winner and mastermind behind Miami’s Michelin-Star restaurant Stubborn Seed, this exclusive culinary destination blends world-class cuisine, sustainability, and local collaboration into a revolutionary dining experience the region has never seen before.
With exceptionally limited seating, Terra offers an exclusive, immersive culinary experience. Each evening unfolds as an intimate journey through an 8–10 course chef’s tasting menu, complemented by a curated à la carte selection. Each dish showcases Chef Jeremy Ford’s bold, refined artistry, deeply rooted in sustainability and flavor. His creations highlight ingredients from his own organic farm in Florida and the freshest local produce Aruba has to offer.
But what truly sets Terra apart is more than its Michelin-star pedigree—it’s the powerful sense of place, purpose and partnership behind every plate.
Terra is much more than a restaurant. It is a collaborative celebration of Aruba, built with the island, for the island. In a refreshing departure from imported culinary concepts, Chef Ford and his team are working directly with local Aruban chefs, farmers and artisans to co-create a menu that honors Aruba’s unique culinary heritage while introducing innovative global techniques.
This dynamic partnership represents a first for Aruba and reaffirms Bucuti & Tara’s commitment to uplifting the community and environment it calls home.
The name Terra, meaning Earth, reflects the restaurant’s deeper mission. Just as Bucuti & Tara is celebrated as the Caribbean’s only certified carbon-neutral hotel, Terra embodies a sustainable culinary philosophy. Every element—from sourcing and plating to service and ambiance—is designed with environmental responsibility and guest experience in mind.
Together, Bucuti & Tara and Jeremy Ford are creating more than just a place to dine—they're crafting a new standard for what eco-luxury dining can be in the Caribbean.
Imagine sitting beneath the stars, savoring dishes that tell stories of land and sea, tradition and innovation—all in the serene elegance of one of the world’s most sustainable and romantic resorts. Terra by Jeremy Ford is poised to be the most exciting culinary destination in Aruba and a must-visit for discerning food lovers from around the globe.
From Michelin Star pedigree to the 'Tara' in Bucuti & Tara—meaning 'star' in Sanskrit—Terra by Jeremy Ford finds its perfect home fittingly in the Tara Wing. Uniting one of the world's finest chefs with one of the Top 25 Best Hotels in the World, a new culinary constellation will soon welcome you.
A new star is rising—and it’s rewriting the rules of destination dining.
We look forward to welcoming you to Terra by Jeremy Ford, opening Summer 2025, only at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort.
