About the Role
Couple Position in Ibiza. Private Luxury Villa – Ibiza
Location: Vista Alegre, Ibiza – exclusive luxury gated community (Approximately 20 minutes from Ibiza Airport and 25 minutes from Ibiza Town)
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced live-in housekeeper, or potentially a housekeeping couple, to care for a brand-new, ultra-luxury private villa in Ibiza. This is a long-term position suited to someone who takes pride in maintaining an exceptional home and enjoys working within a calm, respectful private household.
The property is a private family residence only and will not be rented out commercially. Occupancy is relatively light for much of the year, making this an attractive role for candidates seeking stability, excellent accommodation, and a balanced working pattern.
