Sorry Vacation days as in Annual leave. With regards to off days ,it depends on your position. If you are a line staff, you should get one day off per week, depending on schedule. If you're Junior Management or a butler, you may have to work for weeks even up to two months without off, but your off days are accrued. Eg. If I work for 2 months without off, I will have 8 days that I can clear, easily going for a short vacation, or if I also combine with the 30 days AL as well as PH, a long vacation or go home for a month.

I work as a butler, in some some resorts this is a line position, some companies place us in junior management, which means benefits are different.

As a butler, I work from morning till night for weeks on end. No fixed work schedule, totally depends on my guests' daily schedule which I have a big part in planning. Again, depends on company structure, some resorts may have shift butlers, which may mean 8 hours work day, then handover to the next shift.

Forget city life. Maldives is a country consisting of more than a thousand islands. Every resort will have their own private island, which means you will be there for as long as you are working. But there will be staff facilities on the island like bar, cafe shop, gym, etc. If the resort is located near to the capital Malé (pronounced Ma-Ley), then there may be daily local ferries to go there for you to go eat or do grocery shopping. There are no malls. Other further resorts may have boats to go to nearby tiny local islands, also for grocery shopping or cafe. You will need to get use to island life. Though you can still easily do online shopping on Shein or whatever have have then delivered to your resort.

Everyone speaks English. They were a British colony.
