This adults-only retreat offers an experience akin to staying in a private residence, with the elevated standards of a luxury hotel. With just four unique and spacious suites, it provides guests with a quiet, intimate atmosphere and bespoke service. The team behind Boutique Suites is a small, close-knit group where every member feels like part of the family. They are currently looking for an enthusiastic individual to join them and lend a hand in day-to-day operations, with a sense of urgency in welcoming the right person. If you’re dreaming of a chance to live in Spain while gaining hands-on hospitality experience, this could be your ideal opportunity.
Live in Spain: Tasks & Roles
The exact responsibilities and expectations will be clearly outlined in a conversation prior to confirming the stay, ensuring mutual understanding and comfort. However, the role promises an immersive experience across various aspects of the hotel’s operations. Whether supporting housekeeping, assisting with guest relations, or helping behind the scenes, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to run a boutique hospitality business. The aim is to contribute meaningfully to the hotel’s warm, professional environment while acquiring valuable hands-on experience.
Live in Spain: Living & Getting There
Those joining the team will be provided with free accommodation located just a short walk from the hotel. The accommodation is off-site, but fully equipped and includes all utility costs. Helpers will enjoy two days off each week to rest or explore the surroundings. Meals and other practical arrangements will be discussed and agreed upon beforehand to ensure clarity and comfort. Arcos de la Frontera offers a prime location, with excellent access to other gems of the region. Within an hour’s reach are iconic Andalusian cities such as Cádiz, Jerez de la Frontera, Seville, and more.
