About the employer

Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay is a luxury beachfront resort located on Fiji’s western coast, approximately 45 minutes from Nadi International Airport. The resort is part of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies, and offers accommodation, restaurants, bars, event facilities, spa services, pools, and water-based activities. Its culinary operation serves international and locally inspired food across several outlets, creating opportunities for chefs, kitchen assistants, stewards, and other hospitality professionals. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment and are expected to deliver Marriott’s standards of guest service, cleanliness, professionalism, and safety. Depending on the position, resort employment may include staff meals, uniforms, transportation, accommodation, service charge, or other benefits, although these should be confirmed directly with the employer.

Working in Fiji

Fiji offers hospitality, tourism, culinary, housekeeping, engineering, wellness, marine activity, and guest-service opportunities, especially around Nadi, Denarau, Coral Coast, Suva, and resort islands. The culture is welcoming and community focused, with strong iTaukei traditions, Indian-Fijian influence, church life, music, and respect for family and elders. Resort living can be relaxed and scenic, but work is often demanding, with shift schedules and limited access to major towns. Fiji has warm weather, beaches, outdoor activities, and a generally friendly lifestyle, while costs for imported goods can be high. Foreign workers normally need an approved employment permit before starting work; employers commonly assist with sponsorship and relocation paperwork. Applicants should confirm accommodation, airfare, medical checks, permit responsibility, taxes, and contract terms before accepting an offer. Nadi is the main international gateway and offers practical access to shopping and services.
