Work for us

We love travel and we believe that people who love travel are brilliant at designing Sundowner holidays. Holidays that are about those moments that immerse you wholly into your surroundings. Drinking chai on a plastic stool by the roadside and being checked out by a cow. Running down a huge sand dune in the desert, arms like windmills. Watching an ancient city come to life with the sunrise. Hiking for hours through a rainforest to plunge into a natural pool. Kayaking on tropical seas to an island hideaway. Shopping in the market and cooking lunch for a local. Avoiding eye contact with a gorilla.

We are currently looking for staff for the following positions:

Experienced Holiday Designer (mixed continents)
Experienced Latin America Holiday Designer
Experienced Africa Holiday Designer
Experienced Asia Holiday Designer

Sundowner Team

Our Ethos

Creating memories: We believe that memorable moments form the most perfect holiday – a story around a campfire; eating street-side on a plastic chair; a beautiful sunset; the sound of monkeys calling through the rainforest. And we think these moments are easier to attain by staying in independent boutique hotels and luxury hideaways. These ideals form the basis of our holidays.

Real travel experts: We are looking for people who love travel. Those that want to know the exceptional guides, the best places to stay, the authentic experiences and all the detail in between.

It’s all about our clients: We aim to surpass client expectations every step of the way. This ensures we have lovely repeat clients and word of mouth referrals (as well as a 99% five-star rating on Trustpilot). We therefore expect our team to be brilliant at exceeding client expectations and going the extra mile.
