Drawing on over 20 years in luxury hospitality, and an eye for gastronomic innovation, Stuber is set to elevate the resort’s culinary experiences with his creativity and craftsmanship, offering not only exceptional cuisine, but a deeper appreciation of Langkawi and the stories behind its flavours.
Stuber’s hospitality career spans the globe, having held influential leadership roles across Europe, the Middle East, Central America, and Southeast Asia. He joins the property from a three-year residency in Bali including his position as Executive Chef at the two Michelin Key SOORI Bali. Prior to this, Stuber occupied Executive Chef tenures at Alaia Belize, Autograph Collection; Marriott’s first hotel in Belize, Sharq Village & Spa, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Doha; and the former Roomers Munich, Autograph Collection. Stuber’s earlier career includes roles at the Kempinski brand and notable three-Michelin-starred restaurants in his native Germany.
As a certified nutritionist and published author in the field, Stuber will also bring a wellness-driven philosophy to his new role. He will continue to develop focus on local, seasonal produce and optimising harvest from the property’s own Nibong Garden.
Not only one of the island's most perfectly situated retreats, The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi is home to a vibrant food culture celebrating the region's richly layered heritage formed by centuries of migration and trade, multicultural lineage and Nyonya roots. Nestled within Malaysia's 10-million-year-old rainforest on the shores of the Andaman Sea, the resort’s four distinctive dining venues, provide a magical setting in which to explore the hyper- regional influences of Malaysia's cuisine. Chef Stuber and his team look forward to guiding guests on a culinary journey showcasing the region’s ingredients, traditions and a commitment to local and sustainable sourcing.
