To mark the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, The Pavilions Phuket welcomes Chef Joshua Purwo Caroko, Executive Chef of REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort, Bali’s MICHELIN Key wellness sanctuary, for a special culinary collaboration with Executive Chef Arnaud Violtat.
Chef Joshua has shaped the culinary identity of NŪTRIŌ, REVĪVŌ’s wellnessfocused dining concept, since its inception. Trained under wellness food pioneer Aliwalu through her Vital Kitchen concept, his approach to cooking goes beyond creating healthy dishes. His cuisine explores how food can nourish and energise the body while remaining refined, flavourful and enjoyable.
At REVĪVŌ, NŪTRIŌ forms part of the resort’s holistic approach to wellbeing, where nutrition complements movement, wellness therapies and evidence-based health practices.
This philosophy is reflected in Chef Joshua’s thoughtful use of ingredients, balanced flavours and considered preparation, with a focus on vegetarian and plant-based cuisine.
For this collaboration, Chef Joshua joins Chef Arnaud Violtat, who brings more than 35 years of international culinary experience, including extensive experience in Michelin-starred kitchens. Together, the chefs will explore Indonesian flavours through a contemporary vegetarian and vegan lens, creating a distinctive culinary exchange between Bali and Phuket.
From 5th October, guests can enjoy vegetarian and vegan breakfast and lunch at Firefly Pool & Restaurant, as part of The Pavilions Phuket’s Vegetarian Festival programme. The collaboration will culminate in an exclusive three-course Indonesian vegetarian menu at ALTO Italian Restaurant on 6th–7th October 2026, bringing Chef Joshua’s wellness-focused culinary philosophy to the table.
This October, guests are invited to discover a thoughtful interpretation of vegetarian dining, where Indonesian culinary heritage, contemporary creativity and conscious nourishment come together in a special culinary experience at The Pavilions Phuket.
