Live-In Housekeeper / Couple

Luxury Private Villa | Vista Alegre, Ibiza

Position Overview

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced live-in housekeeper or couple to join a distinguished family at their stunning new luxury villa in Ibiza. This is an ideal position for dedicated professionals seeking long-term employment with a family who values loyalty, excellence, and mutual respect.

The Property

Located in the prestigious Vista Alegre gated community, this brand-new 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom villa offers:

• Direct access to the sea in an idyllic and secure location
• 20 minutes from Ibiza Airport and 25 minutes to Ibiza Town
• Large swimming pool and fully equipped gym
• Four spacious external terraces with limited garden areas (90% paved surfaces)

The Family

The family consists of a couple and their two adult children. The villa will be occupied approximately 20 weeks per year, with most time being just the couple. Occasional visits from extended family or friends for long weekends are expected, with the property at full capacity for approximately 2 weeks annually.

Staff Accommodation & Benefits

The successful candidate(s) will enjoy:

• A well-appointed, brand-new, air-conditioned one-bedroom apartment at ground floor level
• Independent living space with private lounge, kitchen, bedroom, and separate driveway
• Use of a car for personal use
• Competitive market-rate salary for Ibiza
• Spanish employment contract with full compliance to Spanish labour law

Key Responsibilities

• Comprehensive housekeeping of the 8-bedroom villa to the highest standards
• Basic cooking and meal preparation
• Pool maintenance and limited garden/terrace upkeep
• Occasional chauffeuring duties
• Property management during the family's absence (approximately 34 weeks per year)

The Ideal Candidate

We are seeking an exceptional individual or couple with:

• Extensive experience in live-in domestic positions, particularly within high-net-worth or luxury households
• Demonstrable loyalty and longevity in previous roles (minimum 3–5 years with previous employers preferred)
• Impeccable references from previous employers
• Meticulous attention to detail and pride in maintaining exceptionally high standards
• Discretion, trustworthiness, and professional demeanor
• Flexibility and adaptability, particularly during peak occupancy periods
• Self-motivation and ability to work independently during the family's absence
• Valid driver's license

Working Pattern

This position offers an exceptional work-life balance:

• Property vacant: approximately 34 weeks per year (property management duties only)
• Couple only in residence: approximately 12 weeks per year (standard duties)
• Family of four: approximately 4 weeks per year
• Property at capacity with guests: approximately 2 weeks per year (additional temporary staff provided during these periods)

Hours will comply fully with Spanish employment law, with flexibility required during guest periods (maximum 4 weeks annually). Additional housekeeping or cooking support will be provided when the property is at full capacity.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is truly a career-defining opportunity offering:

• Long-term security with a family who values and rewards loyalty
• An exceptional work-life balance with significant periods of lighter duties
• Beautiful, brand-new living accommodation in a stunning Mediterranean location
• The opportunity to be part of establishing household standards from the outset
• Privacy and independence with your own separate living quarters
• Working with a respectful, considerate family with realistic expectations

Please Note: Vista Alegre is not within walking distance to town or supermarkets, making driving ability advantageous. However, candidates without a driving license will still be considered.

How to Apply

If you are an experienced, dedicated professional seeking a rewarding long-term position with an exceptional family in one of the Mediterranean's most desirable locations, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please submit your CV along with detailed references from previous employers.
