About the employer

The property combines contemporary accommodation with a strong focus on golf, wellness, dining, leisure and personalized guest experiences. Its setting near the Mediterranean coast attracts international visitors, holidaymakers, golfers, families and event guests. Resort operations typically include restaurants and bars, spa facilities, pools, fitness services, golf-related activities and outdoor leisure experiences. As part of Accor, the hotel benefits from an international hospitality network, structured training and opportunities for career development. Employees are expected to deliver energetic, stylish and attentive service while working collaboratively across departments in a seasonal, guest-focused environment.

Working in Spain Islands

Spain’s islands, including the Balearics and Canaries, offer frequent hospitality opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cafés, bars, wellness and tourism. Mallorca, Ibiza, Tenerife and Gran Canaria generally have the widest range of seasonal jobs, while smaller islands may offer a quieter lifestyle but fewer year-round vacancies. Island culture is relaxed and social, with strong local food traditions, festivals, beaches and outdoor activities. Living costs can be high in popular areas, especially during summer, so staff accommodation or shared housing is worth seeking. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work in Spain with standard registration requirements. Non-EU applicants normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and should confirm eligibility before relocating. Sotogrande itself is on mainland Andalusia rather than an island, but it has a resort lifestyle, international community and good access to beaches, golf and nearby cities.
