Host
The role
You run the week, from the first transfer to the last goodbye. The logistics, the timings, the small details, and the job of getting a group of strangers talking by the first dinner.
What you'll be doing
- Welcome the group on arrival day and make the first evening easy. Introduce people, not just rooms.
- Keep the daily schedule on track so the week just flows.
- Be the link between the villa staff, the drivers and the rest of the team.
- Handle guest questions and dietary needs, big or small, before they become problems.
- Back up the coach, the chef and the yoga teacher wherever they need a hand.
- Make sure the solo travellers are in the conversation. Arriving on your own and leaving with a crew starts with you.
- When something goes sideways, stay calm and fix it. Guests only ever see the calm version.
What you'll bring
- 2+ years in hospitality, events or guest-facing work.
- The kind of communication that makes people feel looked after.
- Real interest in fitness and travel.
- Confidence leading a group, from a welcome briefing to a sundowner.
- Organised under pressure, easy-going in the moment.
Bonus points
Not essential, but we will get excited.
- Hospitality in high-end villas or hotels.
- A first aid certification.
- Foreign language skills.
