About the employer

The Westin Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is a luxury beachfront resort on Denarau Island, Fiji, operating under The Westin Hotels & Resorts brand, part of Marriott International. The property combines resort accommodation, restaurants and bars, wellness facilities, leisure activities, and access to golf and the wider Denarau tourism area. Westin hotels focus on wellbeing, with guest experiences shaped around healthy dining, recreation, relaxation, and restorative stays. Employees work in an international hospitality environment serving holidaymakers, families, groups, and event guests. Marriott typically provides structured service standards, training, and opportunities to develop within its global hotel network. The resort’s location offers a scenic workplace, although the role requires flexibility, strong guest focus, and the ability to maintain high standards during busy tourism periods.

Working in Fiji

Fiji offers hospitality, tourism, retail, construction, marine, education, healthcare, and professional job opportunities, with resorts concentrated around Viti Levu, Denarau, Nadi, and the Coral Coast. Fijian culture values warmth, respect, community, and traditional welcomes; English is widely used, alongside iTaukei and Fiji Hindi. Island life is relaxed and outdoors-oriented, with beaches, snorkeling, village visits, markets, rugby, and local food, though imported goods and some services can be expensive. International workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit before starting employment, and requirements can include a valid passport, contract, qualifications, police clearance, and medical checks. Confirm current rules with Fiji Immigration and the employer. Before relocating, clarify accommodation, meals, transport, insurance, air travel, service charges, and permit costs. Denarau is convenient and developed, while other islands may have fewer shops and healthcare services.
