Typical requirements include a degree or diploma in sports management, recreation, hospitality, or a related field, along with several years of experience in hotel recreation, resort operations, fitness, or guest activities. First-aid and lifesaving certification may be advantageous. The successful candidate should be energetic, customer-focused, well organized, and confident leading teams and activities for guests of different ages and abilities.

Shangri-La Group is a leading luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry, JEN, and Traders brands. Shangri-La properties are known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, comfortable accommodations, dining, wellness facilities, and destination-focused guest experiences. In the Philippines, the group operates established city and island resorts, including properties associated with destinations such as Makati, Cebu, and Boracay. Employees generally work in multicultural environments with a strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, professional development, teamwork, and operational excellence. Benefits and compensation vary by property, role, and experience, but hospitality staff may receive meals, uniforms, service charge, accommodation assistance, training, and other employee benefits.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across Luzon, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort islands, particularly in hotels, food and beverage, tourism, recreation, diving, wellness, and events. Workplaces are often international and English is widely used, while Filipino culture values friendliness, family, respect, and community. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities, relaxed social life, and lower daily costs than many major global cities, although remote locations may have limited transport, healthcare, and shopping. Manila and Cebu offer broader professional services and transport connections; Boracay and Palawan are strongly tourism focused. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, while Filipino citizens can relocate internally without immigration requirements. Candidates should confirm housing, transport, insurance, work authorization, and seasonal conditions with the employer before moving. Weather, travel times, and connectivity vary considerably between islands.
