Velaa Private Island's Executive Chef Gaushan De Silva and his talented culinary team wins 2 Golds and 6 Silvers at the prestigious Culinary Olympics IKA Olympiade der Köche in Stuttgart.

The 25th IKA/Culinary Olympics took place for the first time at Stuttgart from 14 to 19 February 2020. Around 1800 participants, including 110 teams and roughly 800 individual exhibitors, from 67 countries participated in the event, creating a magical Olympic atmosphere in the Stuttgart exhibition halls.

In culinary terms, the trend at this years Culinary Olympics has moved away from unusual and expensive products. "Instead, the teams have managed to create a unique and outstanding flavour from simple and regional products from their own country," IKA jury president Frank Widmann stated. 

Velaa Private Island commended the efforts of their talented culinary team, congratulating on their success. The resort has previously hosted various dining experiences with Michelin-Starred Chefs.
