About the company
RIU Hotels & Resorts is a Spanish hotel chain founded in 1953 by the Riu family in Mallorca, Spain. The company operates over 100 hotels across Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands, the Caribbean, Mexico, and other sun destinations, making it one of the largest hotel groups in Spain. RIU is known for its all-inclusive resort model, with a strong focus on the hospitality experience, food and beverage, and entertainment.
RIU's headquarters are in Palma de Mallorca, and the company has a significant presence across Spain, particularly in the Balearic and Canary Islands. The company is a major employer in the Spanish hospitality sector, frequently hiring for hotel operations roles such as housekeeping, food and beverage service, maintenance, and front-of-house positions. For international professionals, RIU offers the opportunity to work in a Spanish-speaking environment within a well-established, family-owned hotel group, with roles that often include accommodation, making it an attractive option for those looking to relocate to Spain's tourist destinations.
For International Professionals
- RIU frequently offers roles with free accommodation (alojamiento) included, which is a major advantage for international hires relocating to Spain.
- The company operates in tourist-heavy destinations (Mallorca, Ibiza, Canary Islands, etc.), so many roles are seasonal and tied to the tourism cycle.
- Spanish language proficiency is essential for most guest-facing and operational roles, as the work is highly customer-facing.
- RIU is a family-owned, Spanish-founded company, which can offer a more stable and traditional corporate culture compared to international chains.
- Many positions include food and beverage service, housekeeping, and maintenance, which are practical entry points for internationals without prior hotel experience.
