About the employer

Le Méridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa is a luxury Marriott property on the Costa Dorada, known for its beachfront setting, contemporary European style and wellness facilities. The hotel combines guest accommodation with restaurants, spa services, leisure activities and meeting or event spaces, serving both holidaymakers and corporate groups. As part of Marriott International, it operates within a global hospitality network offering structured service standards, training and potential international career mobility. The property’s event teams work closely with front office, food and beverage, housekeeping, engineering and sales departments to create smooth guest experiences. Employment is likely to be seasonal or year-round depending on business demand, with the role requiring a polished service approach and flexibility typical of resort hotels.

Working in Spain Islands

Spain’s islands, particularly Mallorca, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Ibiza and Lanzarote, offer regular opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events, wellness and tourism. Work is strongly seasonal, with the busiest periods generally from spring through early autumn, although larger destinations recruit throughout the year. Spanish is useful for daily life and workplace communication, while English and other European languages are valued in guest-facing roles. Island culture combines relaxed social life, local food, festivals, beaches and outdoor activities, but accommodation can be expensive and limited in peak season. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa, subject to registration requirements. Non-EU applicants normally need an employer-sponsored work permit before starting employment. Candidates should confirm the exact island, contract, accommodation arrangements, transport and salary package before relocating.
