FBM

The Role

This is not a traditional F&B Manager role.

At Anantara Bazaruto, food and beverage is theatre, storytelling, and connection. We are looking for a hands-on leader who understands luxury in a barefoot setting—where refinement meets authenticity, and every moment feels effortless yet deeply considered.

You will be the driving force behind creating memorable dining experiences, leading from the floor, developing talent, and partnering closely with the Executive Chef to bring our culinary vision to life.

What You’ll Be Known For

• Creating experiences, not just service
  You bring stories to life—whether it’s a beach dinner under the stars or a signature cocktail moment at sunset.
• Presence on the floor
  You lead from the front. You are visible, engaged, and instinctively know what guests need before they ask.
• Luxury, without stiffness
  You understand the nuance of relaxed luxury—polished but never pretentious.
• People developer first
  You build confident, capable teams. Training happens on the floor, in real time, every day.
• Bar & beverage expertise
  You elevate the bar offering—craft cocktails, storytelling through drinks, and a strong sense of occasion.
• True partnership with the kitchen
  You and the Chef operate as one team, ensuring seamless delivery of concept to guest.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all F&B operations with a guest-experience-first mindset
• Drive service standards aligned to barefoot luxury
• Coach, mentor, and develop a high-performing, service-driven team
• Collaborate with the Executive Chef on concepts, menus, and storytelling
• Elevate the bar program and beverage experiences
• Ensure consistency across all outlets—from beach service to fine dining
• Embed a culture of ownership, accountability, and pride

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as an F&B Manager (or strong Assistant stepping up) in luxury hospitality
• Strong bar and beverage background (non-negotiable)
• A natural host and storyteller
• Passion for developing people and building teams
• Hands-on, adaptable, and comfortable in a remote island environment
• Deep understanding of guest experience, not just operations
• Energy, warmth, and presence

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Opportunity to work with a globally recognized luxury brand
• Career growth and development opportunities
• Unique lifestyle experience in an exclusive island setting
