Executive Assistant to the CEO

About Aethos

Extraordinary places, passionate people, and shared learning experiences: this is Aethos. We believe that travelling and hospitality should leave a lasting positive impact on the mind, body, and soul. That's the reason why we choose our locations very carefully and work together with people who want to be part of a community instead of just "having a job". Everyone who works at Aethos can make a personal impact on the community and company - great ideas can come from anywhere.

Aethos Hotels & Clubs are destinations for the conscious - places to stay, engage, and connect with yourself, your surroundings, and a new community. We are design-led and authenticity-centred and believe that true hospitality is about more than the service. It's about shaping experiences that inspire belonging, purpose, and connection with a global community of conscious explorers.
