Work With Us

Playa Viva is a Sustainable Boutique Hotel on the beach in Mexico. Our Yoga/Massage/Host role is available as a 4-8 week position between the months of October and August. This role requires that you are proficient and certified to provide massage and lead yoga classes. In addition, you will need to be a host/hostess for the retreat center, be outgoing, and enjoy spending time with new people. Being a host is a large part of the role outside of teaching one yoga class per day and providing massage/spa services (how you earn extra income). Speaking intermediate to fluent Spanish is helpful. You should also love nature, and be comfortable immersed in the elements and living and working in open-air spaces.

  • Provide Massages for Guests – usually 2 slots available in the morning and two in the afternoon

If you are certified in yoga and massage, love to work with people, enjoy traveling, share values of sustainability, enjoy great food (especially Mexican Food), like new and exciting adventures, have no problem being away from “home” for a month, are ok living off-the-beaten path in a fairly isolated hotel environment (if you get “island fever”, this is not for you) and love the beach, then this is right for you. Do not apply unless all of these apply to you. It is important that you are able to make all guests feel welcome regardless of how you might feel about them. If you fulfill these qualifications, are looking for an exciting adventure and can find the best in all people and enjoy everyone – from little kids, to young adults to couples, the elderly and people of all walks of life, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation – then please apply.
