For job seekers who require sand between their toes, warm air, and a little humidity, there is no better place to seek employment than at a beach resort. As tropical beaches are not limited to one area of the globe, for those that seek sand and culture, there are opportunities to find employment all over the world.
The mission of a beach resort is to create an experience that is best described as paradise. They will attract guests that want to take advantage of the outdoor surroundings, and as a benefit, the resort staff will get to do the same.
Whether it's the massage therapist that gives ocean-side treatments, the server that tends to those sunbathing, the bartender that serves up fruity cocktails in a wood hut or the Kid's Club counselor that leads shell-hunting expeditions, if you are a part of the resort staff, sunshine and fresh air will almost surely get incorporated into your every day.
In addition to the professional positions that make a resort operation smoothly, there are a plethora of opportunities for the entry-level worker and for workers that have a unique skill that is needed in the destination to teach or guide guests. Instruction in fishing, scuba diving, sailing, surfing, and yoga are just some of many examples of common activities where expertise is needed.
In addition, beach destinations are often popular spots for weddings, and therefore will have an event planner and supporting staff to plan the operational details of the wedding.
It should be noted that depending on how remote the tropical location, often the sales and marketing team will be based in a satellite office near a major feeder market and travel to the resort multiple times a year.

Resorts types are as varied as the guests they attract. They can be boutique or large in size. They can be child friendly or adult-only. B They can be all-inclusive or non-inclusive. They can be located in an area that is quite developed or reversely in an area that is extremely remote. For those looking to work at a beach resort, these characteristics can be mixed and matched to find the ideal work environment.
Naturally, beach resorts will be located in destinations with a great climate and lots of sunshine. It is important to note that some resorts will close seasonally depending on weather trends. For example, it is common for Caribbean hotels to close in September and October due to increased rain and possible hurricanes. Similarly, properties in Southeast Asia will often close during Monsoon Season. These seasonal closures can be a positive feature for those that want to travel the world in their time off.
