Summary

The Watersports Instructor at Miraval The Red Sea leads immersive, exhilarating, and mindful water-based experiences that celebrate movement, connection, and freedom. This role guides guests through non-motorized watersports—from stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking to guided snorkeling and aquatic breathwork—with a focus on presence, safety, and holistic well-being.

Key Responsibilities

  • Instruction & Guest Engagement : Lead individual and group sessions in stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and other non-motorized watersports, tailored to guest skill levels and goals.
  • Provide clear, calm, and inspiring instruction that empowers guests to feel confident and connected in the water.
  • Encourage mindfulness in motion—inviting guests to tune into breath, rhythm, and the natural beauty of the Red Sea.
  • Adapt each experience with compassion and creativity to suit the physical ability, comfort level, and emotional needs of the guest.
  • Offer breathwork, reflection, or gentle movement moments during or after watersports to deepen their wellness impact.

Program Development & Experience Design

  • Design signature watersports experiences that combine physical movement with emotional grounding and nature immersion.
  • Develop guided explorations such as sunrise paddles, floating meditations, mindfulness kayaking, or marine-focused excursions.
  • Integrate holistic wellness themes—like breath awareness, sensory connection, and stillness—into activities on the sea.
  • Collaborate with other instructors to create retreats and multi-disciplinary experiences.

    • Safety & Risk Management

  • Conduct daily safety checks on all watersports equipment including boards, paddles, kayaks, snorkels, life vests, and first aid kits.
  • Ensure sea conditions, tides, and weather are assessed daily, and adjust or cancel activities as needed for guest safety.
  • Follow all health, emergency, and marine safety protocols in line with Miraval standards and Saudi Arabian coastal regulations.
  • Maintain current certifications in CPR, First Aid, and open-water rescue.
  • Supervise all water-based activities with attentiveness and calm, ensuring guests feel supported and protected.

    • Operations & Service Excellence

  • Maintain all equipment in pristine condition, ensuring cleanliness, functionality, and guest comfort.
  • Set up and reset beachfront areas before and after each session to create an inviting, peaceful, and organized environment.
  • Support resort operations with flexibility, stepping in as needed to assist with wellness, fitness, or special event programming.
  • Foster strong guest relationships by providing personalized, memorable experiences, and actively contribute to maintaining high guest satisfaction and positive reviews across social media and feedback platforms.

    • Revenue Generation & Guest Upselling

  • Mindfully promote private watersports sessions, exclusive group experiences, wellness adventures, and related programs through engaging guest conversation.
  • Cross-sell relevant retail gear, beachwear, spa therapies, or movement experiences that complement aquatic offerings.
  • Suggest additional services that align with a guest’s wellness goals, supporting a well-rounded journey and enhancing their stay.
  • Meet personal and departmental revenue and upselling goals through genuine, guest-focused service excellence.

    • Guest Relations & Emotional Support

  • Create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels safe, inspired, and valued—regardless of skill level or prior water experience.
  • Provide motivation, reassurance, and support to guests overcoming fears or stepping out of their comfort zone.
  • Engage in meaningful conversations that help guests reconnect with nature, release stress, and rediscover joy.
  • Share insights into the natural marine environment to cultivate deeper appreciation for the Red Sea’s unique ecosystem.

    • Team Collaboration & Leadership

  • Partner with other instructors, spa therapists, and wellness experts to create cohesive, transformative experiences for guests.
  • Mentor new team members interested in watersports or marine-based wellness.
  • Participate in Miraval’s professional development programs, continuously refining training techniques, wellness knowledge, and holistic health practices.
  • Contribute to team initiatives, seasonal activations, and cross-department collaborations that reflect Miraval’s mission.

    • Professional Development & Brand Alignment

  • Actively participate in Miraval learning programs, refining coaching skills, mindfulness facilitation, and guest interaction.
  • Represent Miraval The Red Sea in a professional, passionate, and nature-honoring way at events, wellness weeks, and guest gatherings.

  • Certification in CPR, First Aid, and open water rescue.
  • Minimum 2 years’ experience guiding watersports in resorts, retreats, or adventure settings.
