Villa Manager

• Apr 2013 - Aug 2014

I was employed as part of a team with my partner. Together we managed a private villa, which was a part of the Four Seasons Resort in the archipelago of the Seychelles. At any one time we would have 30 guests staying at the villa. Laid out over 1 hectare of beachfront land were 8 double and quadruple self-contained villas with decking. The common areas included kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, upstairs and downstairs living areas, pool, plunge pool, sauna, gym and dance studio. All rooms had their own kaleidescape entertainment system along with hotel TV and high speed internet connection. We oversaw a minimum of 4 housekeepers, 4 butlers and 5 kitchen staff, arranging their start/finish times, breaks, wages and travel to and from the villa. As the villa’s gardens were landscaped we also managed 4 gardeners, overseeing their duties each week. I was responsible for arranging and liaising with local and overseas contractors from Australia, South Africa, Europe and the Middle East to carry out works at the villa along with importing products and produce to be used on site (As the Seychelles is an Island all products needed for the villa had to be imported). Working with Four Seasons management was also very important, as spa services needed to be arranged along with dinner bookings, account settlements, valet services and Four Seasons maintenance staff. I was responsible for villa accounts, Four Seasons accounts, inventories including alcohol, linen, china, flatware and crystal ware, arranging of extra accommodation for support staff and hire cars. We provided a fully catered villa providing clothing to suit all, swimwear, hats, gym wear and a large range of makeup and perfumes. Hands on maintenance also included 2 jet skis, 2 club cart buggies and a BMW x5. As the villa was on the waterfront we had continuous problems with termites, salt damage, Wood expansion and Rot and many other problems arising from the position of the villa and living on an Island.
