About the employer

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is a luxury island resort operated under Marriott International’s Sheraton brand. Located on Furanafushi Island in North Malé Atoll, the resort offers beachfront accommodation, restaurants and bars, spa and wellness facilities, recreation, water activities, and event services. Its hospitality style combines international service standards with the relaxed setting of a tropical Maldivian island. Employees generally work in a multicultural environment serving leisure travelers, families, couples, and group guests from around the world. As part of Marriott, the resort typically emphasizes guest satisfaction, teamwork, professional development, responsible operations, and adherence to global brand standards. Resort employees may receive benefits such as staff accommodation, meals, uniforms, transport arrangements, service charge, and access to Marriott-related career opportunities, although benefits depend on the employment contract and position.

Working in Maldives

The Maldives offers employment opportunities mainly in resorts, hotels, restaurants, diving, watersports, housekeeping, engineering, finance, and guest services. Resort life is structured and communal: staff usually live in shared accommodation, eat at staff cafeterias, and work rotating shifts. Maldivian culture is welcoming and strongly influenced by Islam, so modest dress away from resort areas and respect for local customs are important. Resort islands provide beaches, snorkeling, diving, and water activities, while local islands offer a more traditional community atmosphere. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and a valid Maldives work permit; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers commonly arrange documentation, airport transfers, accommodation, and meals, but applicants should confirm contract terms, medical requirements, leave, and service-charge policies before relocating. International travel generally enters through Velana International Airport near Malé, followed by a speedboat or seaplane transfer.
