The Host/ess welcomes guests, manages restaurant arrivals, coordinates seating, handles reservations, and helps create a smooth dining experience. Candidates should have customer-service experience, a professional appearance, strong communication skills, and good organization. Fluency in Spanish and English is normally expected; additional languages are advantageous in an international resort. The successful candidate should be warm, attentive, confident, and able to remain calm during busy service periods. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and holidays is essential. Experience in luxury hotels or restaurants, knowledge of reservation systems, and a genuine interest in hospitality would be valued.

The Spanish Islands offer strong employment opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, housekeeping, wellness, and guest services, especially during the spring-to-autumn season. The Balearic Islands, including Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera, have a lively international culture, beautiful beaches, historic towns, and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Mallorca combines resort work with year-round communities and good transport links. Living costs, particularly rent, can be high in popular coastal areas, so employer accommodation or shared housing is worth checking. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can work with standard registration requirements. Non-EU applicants generally need a Spanish work and residence permit arranged with employer support before starting. A valid passport, employment contract, accommodation plan, health coverage, and local registration are commonly required. Spanish improves daily life and career prospects, while English is widely used in tourism.
