The Recreation Coordinator supports the resort’s leisure and guest-activity programme, helping organise sports, games, excursions and other recreational experiences. Typical requirements include hospitality or recreation experience, strong communication skills, good organisation and the ability to work with guests of different ages and nationalities. A friendly, energetic personality, professional appearance and confidence leading activities are important. English is generally expected; Spanish and additional languages are valuable. The candidate should be comfortable working outdoors, adapting to changing schedules and maintaining high safety standards. Previous experience in a luxury hotel, resort, children’s activities, fitness or watersports would be advantageous.

It operates under The Ritz-Carlton brand, part of Marriott International, which is known for personalised service, refined hospitality standards and employee development. The resort attracts international leisure travellers and provides a multicultural workplace, particularly busy during peak tourism periods. Employees may benefit from Marriott-related training, internal career opportunities and hospitality discounts, subject to local terms and the employment contract.
The Spanish Islands include the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands, with strong employment opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, wellness and guest activities. Tenerife offers a warm climate, varied landscapes, beaches and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle, while local culture combines Spanish traditions with Canarian food, music and festivals. Living costs can be moderate to high in popular resort areas, and transport is generally practical through buses and inter-island flights or ferries. EU and EEA citizens can work in Spain with the required registration. Non-EU candidates normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and visa before starting employment. Applicants should confirm accommodation, salary, working hours, insurance and relocation support with the employer. Spanish is useful, although English is widely used in international resorts.
