Resort Management Couple – Luxury Private Island Resort – South Pacific

A private owner/operator is searching for an experienced Resort Management Couple to lead the day-to-day operation of an established luxury private island resort in the South Pacific.

With a select number of villas, a private airline for resort transfers, and approximately 60 employees, this property is deliberately small, highly personalized, and requires hands-on, day-to-day operational leadership.


The owner is looking for two accomplished hospitality professionals who want genuine responsibility for an entire resort, its people, guests, standards, commercial performance, and day-to-day operation.


This is a senior, hands-on leadership appointment working directly with ownership.


The Opportunity

Together, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the island across:

  • Guest experience and luxury service delivery

  • Leadership, development, and performance of approximately 60 employees

  • Rooms, Front Office, and Housekeeping

  • Food & Beverage

  • Financial performance, budgeting, and cost control

  • Revenue and commercial performance

  • Maintenance and asset management oversight

  • Purchasing, stores, stock control, and island logistics

  • Marine activities and operational planning

  • Health, safety, and compliance

  • Maintaining and continually improving resort standards


You will have experienced assistant/duty managers and supervisors supporting you, but ultimately the island is yours to run.


The Couple They Are Looking For

The strongest candidates will bring complementary skills to the operation.

One partner may have extensive experience in resort management, rooms, F&B, or guest experience, while the other may bring strengths across operations, maintenance, facilities, logistics, marine operations, or another relevant hospitality discipline.

Between you, substantial experience is expected across most areas of a full-service resort operation.


At least one partner should have held a senior resort/hotel leadership position with significant responsibility for the overall operation of a property.


Both partners must bring genuine professional value to the management team.


Key Requirements:

  • Significant management experience within quality hotels or resorts

  • Proven responsibility for people, standards, and operational performance

  • Strong understanding of Rooms and Food & Beverage operations

  • Experience managing and developing substantial teams

  • Sound financial and commercial capability

  • High standards of guest service and personal presentation

  • The confidence to make decisions and take responsibility for them

  • A genuinely hands-on management style

  • Strong organizational and problem-solving ability


Experience in a luxury resort, boutique hotel, private island, remote lodge, or international resort environment will be highly regarded.


Previous experience living and working in a remote location is valuable but not essential.


This Role Will Suit You If...

  • You enjoy knowing your guests, knowing your staff, and knowing exactly what is happening throughout your operation.

  • You are equally comfortable hosting guests over dinner, reviewing the month's P&L, inspecting a villa, coaching a department head, or dealing with an operational problem that cannot wait until tomorrow.

  • You don't need a large corporate structure around you to make decisions.

  • You understand the difference between being visible and actually being hands-on.

  • You are excited by the prospect of living together on a small island and making the resort genuinely yours to operate.


The Package

The combined remuneration package includes:

  • Competitive salary

  • Private on-island accommodation

  • All meals

  • Utilities

  • Annual flight allowance

  • Resort house account

  • Work permit sponsorship


This is intended to be a long-term appointment.
