Set along the powder-soft shore of Paje, on Zanzibar’s south-east coast, Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is an intimate retreat where the rhythm of the Indian Ocean sets the pace of the day. Each villa opens onto its own garden and private pool, framed by palms and the turquoise water beyond — a place designed for privacy, quiet luxury and the unhurried pleasure of island life. Our cuisine celebrates the Spice Island: seafood landed the same morning, produce from our garden, and the cardamom, clove and vanilla that have defined Zanzibar for centuries. Beyond the table, our Spa, kitesurfing school and curated island experiences invite guests to discover Zanzibar in their own way. A proud member of Relais & Châteaux, we are the only property on Zanzibar to be distinguished with a Michelin Key. Job Description We are seeking an experienced and passionate Front Office Manager to lead the guest experience at one of East Africa’s most acclaimed luxury retreats. As a Relais & Châteaux member property, Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa upholds the highest standards of personalised service — from the moment a guest arrives to the moment they depart. You will lead the front office team, ensuring seamless arrivals and departures, anticipating guest needs, coordinating closely with reservations, housekeeping and the wider operation, and resolving every request with discretion and warmth. As the welcoming face of the resort, you will be a key guardian of our service culture. The ideal candidate brings a refined hospitality background with at least 5 years in luxury front office or guest relations management, strong operational discipline, confident command of a property management system (Opera or similar), and a genuine passion for creating memorable guest journeys — with the ability to inspire a team while preserving the intimate, family-owned spirit that defines White Sand. Experience in a luxury resort or boutique five-star environment is essential; familiarity with East African or Indian Ocean destinations is a distinct advantage. Qualifications – At least 5 years in luxury front office or guest relations management – Strong English – French is a big plus Additional Information – Complimentary single accommodation within the resort – Full medical coverage – Three complimentary meals per day – Complimentary work visa fees – Salary from 2500 USD per month + bonuses – Complimentary Flight tickets on annual leave

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for Relais & Châteaux, don't just list duties—prove you've already met les compétences demandées dans l'annonce with a concrete example. Use numbers or results to show you've solved similar challenges at a senior level.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Efficiency and discretion — Quantify your added value: correspondence handled weekly, operational budget managed, events organized. Discretion is proven by your references — ensure they're reachable and positive.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
