Maldives

A 6- to 12-month internship in a resort set on its own atoll, housed, fed, with an allowance. The lagoon begins where your shift ends.

Why the Maldives

A whole island becomes your home and your school.

Made to measure, as standard

Every villa has its butler, every guest a first name. You learn the most attentive service in the trade.

The lagoon as your horizon

Turquoise at every break, white sand beneath the walkway. A backdrop nobody ever tires of.

Life on the island

You live on site with the brigade. A swim before your shift, a sunset after it.

English every day

A close-knit team from all over the world. English settles in before you even notice.

Not to be missed

Your days off have plans of their own.

Rays and turtles in the lagoon, a few strokes from the villa.

The lagoon

Mask, snorkel, and the turtles are waiting a few strokes away.

A ribbon of white sand in the middle of the blue.

The sandbanks

A tongue of white sand adrift in the blue, and nothing else.

Glowing plankton on the beach under a starry sky.

After dark

Plankton lights up along the shore, the Milky Way does the rest.

The best window

November to April

The weather

Endless blue skies over the lagoon, a glassy sea.

The crowds

Each resort has its own atoll, privacy is the rule.
