It said the the job listing was posted on Fairfax & Kensington, a private household staffing company.

According to Fairfax & Kensington, it is seeking a highly experienced domestic couple with a background in luxury hospitality and ultra-high net worth individual (UHNW) estates for their billionaire client as an exciting opportunity on a newly acquired private island in the British Virgin Islands exists.

“The principal envisions this dynamic couple to not only maintain and oversee the island but also actively promote it, participating in a unique campaign to attract ‘barefoot luxury tourism’ as the island undergoes significant transformation,” said Fairfax & Kensington.

The couple would be expected to promote the island as a “barefoot luxury” destination while documenting their experiences as well as the transformation of the island, co-ordinate and manage events and special occasions hosted on the island and ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the island’s facilities and infrastructure, to name a few.

As a trade-off, the couple would get the opportunity to to live and work in one of the most stunning parts of the world, have access to the island’s amenities and flights, food and accommodation as well as one return flight home a year.
