This intimate property features 10 guest rooms, a rooftop yoga deck, two swimming pools, and an outdoor gym, designed for guests seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating stay. The management vision focuses on wellness as a lived experience, and the ideal candidate will lead a team that prioritizes authentic guest care and high-quality culinary offerings.

The position offers a full contract including a residency permit following a successful three-month probation period. Additional benefits such as duty meals and accommodation options are available. Candidates are expected to be grounded, proactive problem solvers who thrive in a leadership role within a small, wellness-focused hospitality environment. The role requires someone who can see potential issues before they arise and manage the property as if it were their own.
