About the employer

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The company is known for personalized service, comfortable accommodations, distinctive dining, and high operating standards.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and other resort destinations, with demand for experienced hotel, restaurant, housekeeping, and operations professionals. Island life is generally warm, sociable, and community-oriented, with strong family culture, English widely used, and affordable local food and transport. Resort locations provide beaches, diving, boating, and outdoor activities, although supplies, healthcare, and transport can be more limited than in major cities. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, while Filipino applicants should prepare government identification, employment records, and health documents. Relocation packages vary and may include staff accommodation, meals, transport, medical benefits, and service charge. Candidates should confirm housing, work schedules, transportation, salary structure, and visa sponsorship directly with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
