Caribbean island seeking 'adventurous' couple for dream job - and it pays £160k salary

A private island in the Caribbean is seeking an "adventurous" couple to live and work in paradise - and they'll be paid a huge salary for the privilege

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 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, consisting of four main islands and over 50 smaller ones.

The role, advertised by escapethecity.org, requires a professional duo to assist with the island's operations and actively promote it, all for a handsome salary of £160,000.

But don't be fooled, this isn't a position for novices. You must have prior experience in luxury hospitality and promotion.

If you're keen on the role, you'll need to not only maintain and oversee the island but also "actively promote it", as per the 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 promotion involves highlighting the barefoot luxury tourism aspect of the island, something the owner is eager to advertise, reports the Express.

Barefoot luxury is taking the travel world by storm, focusing on a more laid-back lifestyle. This isn't your ordinary swanky affair complete with golden chandeliers; instead, barefoot luxury homes in on embracing the breathtaking wonders of nature, eco-conscious living and being ensconced in serene, natural grandeur.

Devotees of barefoot luxury seek out that intimate connection with Mother Earth, keen to stay rooted yet lavishly pampered during their getaways.

Should you land this gig, not only will you be tasked with the management of the grounds, culinary delights, digital buzz creation, and keeping the place spick and span, but you will also receive an eye-watering £160,000 per annum. Your package includes healthcare, retirement perks, flights, grub, digs plus an annual round trip back home - not to forget exclusive access to the island's facilities.

According to the advertisement: "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."
