The Sports & Recreation Manager oversees the resort’s sports, leisure and recreational activities, ensuring guests receive safe, enjoyable and well-organized experiences. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, recreation, sports management or a related field, together with several years of supervisory experience in a luxury hotel, resort or leisure facility. Candidates should have strong leadership, communication and organizational skills, knowledge of health and safety procedures, and confidence managing staff, equipment, activities and guest concerns. Experience with water sports, fitness programs, events or children’s recreation is advantageous. The role requires an energetic, service-focused personality, flexibility to work weekends and holidays, and the ability to maintain Shangri-La’s high standards.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The company is recognized for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and distinctive resort experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La properties include leading city hotels and island resorts serving business travelers, families and international holidaymakers. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment with opportunities across rooms, food and beverage, recreation, events, sales and administration. Benefits may include service charge, meals, accommodation or transport support, medical coverage, staff discounts and training, depending on the property and employment package. Exact duties, compensation and benefits for a Sports & Recreation Manager depend on the specific Shangri-La resort and the candidate’s experience.
The Philippines offers resort and hospitality opportunities on islands such as Boracay, Cebu, Palawan, Bohol, Siargao and Mindanao, particularly in guest services, recreation, diving, food and beverage, housekeeping and hotel management. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, family-oriented and community-minded, with English widely used in workplaces and tourism. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities, a relaxed pace and lower daily costs than major international cities, although transport, healthcare, utilities and internet can vary significantly by location. Filipino applicants normally need standard employment documentation. Foreign hires require an appropriate work authorization, commonly an Alien Employment Permit and a 9(g) pre-arranged employment visa, sponsored or supported by the employer; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Candidates should confirm salary, housing, transport, insurance, relocation assistance and contract terms directly with Shangri-La before moving.
