Kickstart your health journey in Thailand at our Resort! Our retreat consists of daily cardio, breathwork, meditation and strength training. Guests enjoy vegan and vegetarian meals at the Cafe as well as holistic wellness treatments.
We are located in beautiful Koh Samui, Thailand just a 2-minute walk from stunning Lamai Beach. Waterfalls, hiking and temples are all available!
We are a small but mighty team. We have a General Manager, Fitness Coach, Marketing Manager, yoga teachers, and meditation and breath work counselors. We are in search of a full time Marketing Manager. The candidate will come volunteer with us for a trial period, and if deemed successful will be given a full time position with work permit and visa.
The Role
We are looking for a high-energy, versatile Marketing & Social Media Manager to be the face and voice of the Resort and the Cafe. This is a hybrid "on-the-ground" role where you blend technical digital marketing with genuine hospitality. You aren't just behind a screen; you are leading hikes, hosting guests, and capturing the heartbeat of our inclusive community here in Koh Samui, Thailand!
We are a natural detox center - drugs, alcohol, smoking are prohibited. The ideal Workawayer will have an interest in fitness, yoga, breathwork etc and have a kind demeanor that others would like to be around.
If you fit these criteria, please message us to set up an interview. Please see below for more details on the position.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will get to experience the beautiful island of Koh Samui through our program. We take daily excursions around the island to appreciate the nature, including hikes and bike rides. We practice yoga, meditation, and breathwork. We also partner with the world class Muay Thai gym next door to offer free classes so travellers can really immerse themselves in the local practice.
Volunteers will also learn a lot about local hospitality as we are very well connected on the island.

Key Responsibilities
1. Digital Strategy & Content Creation
Creative Freedom: Manage and grow social media profiles for both brands (Visit the Resort & Cafe). You have the autonomy to create engaging content that aligns with our brand voice.
Visual Storytelling: Capture high-quality photography and videography—from Muay Thai and ice baths to aesthetic food photography for the cafe.
Copywriting: Write compelling, fluent English copy for social captions, blogs, newsletters, and OTA listings.
Paid Media: Manage and optimize Meta and Google Ad campaigns within the allotted budget.
Web Management: Handle back-end updates for our WordPress website and Bookinglayer engine.
2. Physical Marketing & Branding
Graphic Design: Use Canva and/or other design platforms to design high-impact flyers, menus, physical signage, etc.
Merchandising: Oversee the design and production of branded merchandise (apparel, bottles, stickers).
3. Fitness & Guest Hosting
Active Leadership: Lead morning cardio, bike rides, and hikes. Our excursions are beautiful but demanding—some routes cover 12km of hilly, challenging terrain. You must be physically capable of not only completing these hikes but leading from the front and motivating guests throughout. You MUST be physically fit, representing a fitness retreat.
Guest Relations: Act as a host for retreat guests. You are one of the go-to people for info, concerns, and community connection.
Proactive Teamwork: This is an "all-hands-on-deck" environment. You are observant, taking charge of the guest experience and helping the team wherever needed.
Requirements
Degree in Social Media Marketing: We are looking for someone who has studied this online or in school. Not just fluent in posting pics for their personal Instagram account.
Fluent English: Essential for high-level copywriting and guest communication. The ability to also speak Thai would be a huge advantage.
Visual Pro: Proven skills in diverse photography and videography.
Technical Skill: Experience with Meta/Google Ads, WordPress, and Canva.
Physical Fitness: A genuine passion for an active lifestyle and the ability to not only participate, but lead demanding activities (like 12km hilly hikes) day in and day out.
Hospitality Mindset: Approachable, personable, and observant.
The Perks
Live in Paradise: Based in the beautiful Koh Samui, Thailand.
Fuel Your Body: Enjoy a daily meal at our world-renowned Superfood Cafe.
Get Paid to Move: Your "office" includes the gym, the beach, and the jungle.
