Caribbean paradise island is seeking couple for dream job with £160K salary

A private Caribbean island is on the hunt for a professional couple to live and work in paradise - and the role comes with a £160,000 salary as well as free accommodation and flights.

If you're after a taste of the high life and fancy getting paid for it, then a new job opportunity might be just what you're looking for.

A recently purchased private island in the Caribbean is on the hunt for an "adventurous" couple to live and work in this slice of paradise.

The island, which remains unnamed in the job advert, is nestled within the British Virgin Islands - a volcanic archipelago that's part of the British overseas territories. It consists of four main islands and over 50 smaller ones.

The role, posted by escapethecity.org, requires 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. Applicants must have prior experience in luxury hospitality and promotion, reports the Express.

Those interested in the role must not only be capable of maintaining and supervising the island but also "actively promote it", as per the job listing.

"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 promotional duty 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 moves away from the traditional opulence of luxury, focusing instead on simplicity, natural splendour, and eco-consciousness.

Those who indulge in barefoot luxury seek to connect with nature, feeling grounded yet pampered during their retreats.

The role in question involves managing the landscape, preparing meals, promoting the destination on social media, and maintaining the property. It may be demanding, but the rewards are substantial.

A generous £160,000 salary awaits, along with health benefits, pension, and comprehensive coverage for flights, meals, and accommodation. Additionally, you'll get one return flight home annually and full use of the island's facilities.

The advertisement highlights: "This is an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic and experienced domestic couple to become the face of a private island in paradise while contributing to its transformation and success as a "barefoot luxury" destination."
