Previous experience in a hotel, resort, or leisure facility is preferred. The successful candidate should be responsible, calm under pressure, courteous with guests, and able to communicate effectively in English.

The company is known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, and carefully designed guest experiences.

Shangri-La employs people across operations, culinary services, guest relations, engineering, wellness, and recreation.

Malaysia offers resort and hotel opportunities in destinations such as Langkawi, Penang, Sabah, and coastal areas of Johor and Terengganu. Jobs are available in hospitality, food and beverage, tourism, diving, recreation, housekeeping, and guest services. The culture is multicultural, combining Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indigenous, and international influences; English is widely used in hotels, while Malay is the national language. Island living is generally relaxed, warm, and community-oriented, with beaches, outdoor activities, and comparatively affordable daily costs, although imported goods and housing in popular areas can be expensive. Foreign workers normally require an employer-sponsored work permit and must meet Malaysian immigration requirements before starting employment. Employers may assist with permits, accommodation, transport, and relocation, but benefits vary. Candidates should confirm the exact resort location, contract terms, medical requirements, and visa arrangements directly with Shangri-La before relocating.
