Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Spa Therapist is expected to deliver professional, personalized treatments in line with Mandarin Oriental standards, including massages, facials, body treatments and wellness experiences. Candidates should hold a recognized qualification in massage or beauty therapy and have practical experience in a luxury hotel, resort or spa environment. Strong knowledge of treatment procedures, hygiene and health-and-safety standards is required. The role also requires excellent guest communication, a polished appearance, discretion and the ability to recommend suitable treatments or products without being overly sales-focused. Fluency in Spanish and English is generally expected; additional languages are an advantage. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays is important, along with teamwork and a genuine interest in wellbeing and exceptional service.
Can I work in the Balearic Islands?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Local-first test (hotel jobs are not on the shortage list), or a seasonal permit that comes with employer housing.
Official source: Spanish Ministry of Inclusion: residence and work permit for employees. Checked November 2026.
