If you're after a touch of luxury and fancy getting paid for it, then a new job opportunity might be just the ticket. A recently purchased private island in the Caribbean is on the hunt for an "adventurous" couple to live and work in paradise. The island, which remains unnamed in the listing, is nestled in the British Virgin Islands - a volcanic archipelago that's a British overseas territory.
It consists of four main islands and over 50 smaller ones. The role, posted by escapethecity.org, is seeking a professional duo to assist with the island's operations and actively market it - all for a handsome salary of £160,000.
However, this isn't a position for novices. You must have prior experience in luxury hospitality and promotion, reports the Express . To secure the role, you'll need to not only maintain and supervise the island but also "actively promote it", as per the listing.
The listing states: "Prior experience working in luxury hospitality or UHNW estates is essential, though if one half of the couple has a private household background and the other half is more media focused such applications will be considered." Part of this promotion involves highlighting the barefoot luxury tourism aspect of the island, something the owner is eager to advertise. Barefoot luxury is the latest travel trend that's all about embracing a more relaxed lifestyle.
This concept shuns the traditional opulence of luxury holidays, focusing instead on simplicity, natural splendour, and eco-cons.
