Do you want to work in the sun, meet people from across Europe, and provide deep tissue massage at a relaxed pace? Then this could be the job for you!
To achieve better gender balance, we are now seeking female massage therapists for full-time work in Gran Canaria during the period June 15, 2026 – April 30, 2027 or October 15, 2026 – April 30, 2027. (You will need to be on-site approximately 9–10 days before the start date – we will help with work permits, etc.)
This is a job for someone who wants to develop professionally, who prioritizes a higher quality of life, and who wants to live and work in the world's best year-round climate. However, it is not a job for you if you cannot handle physically demanding work or if you are moving to Gran Canaria in search of a high salary.
About the Job
• Full-time, approximately 5 days one week / 6 days the next
• Work mainly outdoors at hotel pool areas
• Over a season, our massage therapists typically perform 6–7 massage treatments per person per day (30 minutes each)
• You work independently and are usually responsible for 2–3 hotels
• Focus on deeper therapeutic massage
• Working hours typically daytime, e.g., 10:00–17:00
The work is warm, physically demanding – and a lot of fun! In our work we meet customers who are on vacation and who are incredibly happy, satisfied, and grateful for their treatment with us.
What We're Looking For
• You are a trained massage therapist and experienced with deeper treatments
• You have good physical fitness as the work is physically demanding
• For better gender balance, we see it as positive if you are a woman
• You are self-motivated, positive, service-oriented, with drive and a good sense of humor
• You are comfortable with sales and customer contact
• Swedish as your mother tongue. You also speak good English (Spanish and/or German are advantages). From June to October most customers are British and Spanish, while from November to April most customers are from Norway and Sweden
• Extra plus if you can also offer beauty treatments, manicures/pedicures
Salary & Benefits
• Approximately €1800 gross / approximately €1400 net (Canarian wage) for a full-time position. NOTE! An average salary in Gran Canaria is approximately €1400 gross and approximately €1000 net, which means that by Canarian standards we pay a good wage BUT this is not a job for you if you have high expenses back in Sweden
• Holiday pay is paid after the season
• Possibility of free lunch at the hotel, which allows you to save approximately €150 per month on food costs
• Bus pass/travel allowance
• Massage from colleague if needed
• Tips are yours to keep
• Possibility of overtime
Accommodation
• Accommodation is arranged by yourself, but we are happy to help with tips and suggestions
• Rent of approximately €900–€1000/month is typical for a small apartment as your own accommodation. If you want to share with a colleague of the same gender in shared accommodation, the cost is approximately €700–€800/month (applies only during the winter season)
• Electricity, water and wifi are often included
• Short bus ride or sometimes walking distance to work
