Not a formal household or seasonal butler role – only experienced domestic couples will be considered.
An UHNW family is seeking a long-term, live-in domestic couple to manage the full-time care, maintenance, and hospitality operations of their private residence in the Bahamas. This is not a formal or seasonal position — the principals are not looking for career butlers or temporary seasonal staff. They want a grounded, professional couple with a strong domestic background who can provide resort-level service in an informal, private setting.
Important:
- Single applicants will not be considered.
- Couples where neither person can cook to a high standard will also not be considered.
- Profiles that do not meet these criteria will be disregarded.
What We’re Looking For
Private Chef & Hospitality Lead
One half of the couple must be a confident, accomplished chef capable of delivering refined, health-conscious meals with restaurant-level presentation. This is not casual or family-style cooking — culinary ability is essential.
Responsibilities include:
- Preparing high-end meals for daily dining and entertaining
- Full kitchen management, hygiene, inventory, and sourcing
- Adapting meals for dietary preferences
- Guest service, coordination, and hosting when family is in residence
- Overseeing general household presentation
- Liaising with the off-site estate manager and vendors
Property & Systems Manager
The other half of the couple must be a hands-on property manager, confident handling maintenance and systems independently.
Responsibilities include:
- Overseeing all property systems: HVAC, electrical, generators, plumbing, pool, spa, and gym
- Managing vendor scheduling, routine maintenance, and urgent repairs
- Handling basic handyman tasks and external upkeep
- Supporting outdoor entertaining and light gardening
- Pet care and beach setup as needed
- Maintaining vehicles and utility equipment
Ideal Couple
- Previous experience working together as a domestic couple in a private estate, luxury residence, or yacht
- Proactive, fit, and confident managing property needs in a remote tropical setting
- Strong communication and ability to work independently and as a team
- Pet-friendly
- One or both should hold or be willing to obtain First Aid certification
Compensation & Package
- Salary: $120,000 – $170,000 USD, depending on experience
- Private, on-site accommodation provided
- Health insurance stipend
- All relocation costs covered (flights + work visas)
- Generous paid time off
This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced couple seeking a stable, long-term role in a beautiful but remote setting. Only qualified domestic couples will be contacted.
