Assistant Bar Manager - Aethos Mallorca

Who We Are:

Aethos is more than just a destination; it’s a celebration of extraordinary places, passionate individuals, and shared experiences. We believe that travel and hospitality should inspire and positively impact the mind, body, and spirit. That’s why we carefully select our locations and partner with people who are eager to be part of a community rather than simply filling a role. At Aethos, everyone has the opportunity to make a personal impact, as we believe great ideas can come from anyone.

As a young and dynamic hospitality company, we understand the value of quality time spent with loved ones. We’re committed to sustainability, well-being, and providing the luxury of space and time. Above all, we champion freedom from the pressures and stresses of modern life. Our goal is to be the first choice for those seeking an escape from the mundane, the stressful, and the unsustainable.

This is how we redefine hospitality: while every decision we make revolves around the needs of our guests and community, we always strive to build a workplace that is enriching and meaningful. We are driven by the desire to create a world we are proud to be a part of, and we invite you to join us in making it a reality.
