The Sports & Recreation Manager is expected to plan, supervise and promote recreational activities, sports programs and guest experiences at Shangri-La in the Philippines. Candidates should have a degree or relevant qualification in sports management, hospitality, leisure or a related field, together with several years of experience in recreation, resort operations or activity management. Strong leadership, communication and customer-service skills are essential. The role requires coordinating team members, maintaining safety and service standards, managing equipment and schedules, responding to guest needs, and working closely with other hotel departments. Experience with resort activities, fitness, water sports or international hospitality operations would be an advantage. Flexibility, energy and a hands-on approach are expected.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels and resorts across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other destinations. The group is known for refined accommodation, personalized service, dining, wellness facilities and distinctive resort experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates properties in locations such as Manila, Cebu and Boracay, serving leisure travelers, business guests, families and international events. The company places strong emphasis on gracious Asian hospitality, employee development, operational excellence and memorable guest experiences. Depending on the property, employees may work in a busy city hotel or a large island resort with extensive recreational, beach and water-based facilities. Benefits can include staff meals, uniforms, training, service-charge participation and possible accommodation or travel support, subject to the property and employment terms.
The Philippines offers opportunities in resorts, hotels, restaurants, tourism, diving, wellness, events and travel services, particularly in Boracay, Cebu, Palawan, Bohol and Siargao. Island life is generally warm, sociable and community-oriented, with strong Filipino hospitality, English widely used and an active culture of family gatherings, festivals, music and outdoor recreation. Employees can enjoy beaches, snorkeling, diving, boating, hiking and affordable local food, although transport, internet reliability and imported goods can vary outside major centers. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-supported work visa or permit before legally working; requirements depend on nationality and contract, so confirmation with the employer and Philippine authorities is essential. Relocation planning should include housing, medical insurance, banking, transportation and emergency savings. Local salaries may be lower than in major international markets, but resort roles can provide service-charge income, meals, accommodation or other benefits.
