The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including restaurant, banquet, in-room dining and staff meals. Candidates should have substantial experience as an Executive Chef or senior Sous Chef in a luxury hotel or resort, ideally with an international hospitality background. Strong knowledge of food safety, menu planning, kitchen cost control, budgeting, purchasing and culinary standards is required. The role expects confident leadership, staff development, creativity, consistency and the ability to work closely with hotel management and other departments. Experience managing multicultural teams, maintaining hygiene compliance and delivering high-quality guest experiences is highly valued. Fluency in English and good communication, organisational and commercial skills are normally expected.
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 and other international markets. Its properties are known for personalised service, refined accommodation, extensive dining facilities and strong resort experiences. In Indonesia, Shangri-La has operated prominent city and resort hotels, serving leisure travellers, business guests, families and large events. The group places emphasis on genuine Asian hospitality, employee development, operational excellence and responsible business practices. Benefits and working conditions vary by property and contract, but senior culinary roles may include service charge, meals, accommodation or relocation support. An Executive Chef joining Shangri-La would be expected to protect brand standards while adapting menus and experiences to local produce, guest preferences and the character of the destination.
Indonesia offers opportunities for experienced chefs in luxury resorts, city hotels, villas, restaurants and cruise or expedition properties, particularly in Bali, Java, Lombok and the Riau Islands. Bali has a large international hospitality community, a relaxed lifestyle and strong tourism demand, although traffic, housing costs and seasonal fluctuations can be challenging. Indonesian culture values hospitality, respect for hierarchy, community and religious diversity; workplace practices may differ from those in Europe or North America. International hires usually need employer sponsorship and an appropriate work permit and limited-stay visa, with the employer handling much of the process. Requirements can change, so candidates should confirm current rules with Shangri-La and Indonesian immigration authorities. Relocation planning should cover accommodation, health insurance, tax, schooling if relevant, transport and shipping. Knowledge of local ingredients and basic Bahasa Indonesia is helpful.
