Vacant job

Falkenberg Strandbad, an oasis where the pool club pulses with emotions and anticipation, where drinks are shaken and decorated with pineapple leaves and umbrellas. The scent of classics wafts from the open kitchen at Brasserie Famille, the grill at Sandy's smokes, and Kelly's offers dancing on every sunbed. The beach club is the perfect place to gaze out over the sea while being swept away by all the happy guests.

We create world-class experiences, memories for life, and a workplace to be truly proud of, living our core values in everything we do. Being Passionate, Professional, Playful & Personal is what makes us unique and drives our growth.

Are you powerless in the face of fancy cocktails, fresh seafood, and grill classics? Welcome to Sandy’s! Here, you step into a vibrant dream of Cali where the flavors are as bold as they are fresh. You are greeted by a wonderful pulse, high flavors, and an open kitchen with close collaboration between the kitchen and service staff. We have signatures like fresh ceviche, spicy chicken wings, tomahawk, and plenty of oysters — all accompanied by ice-cold margaritas or a chili paloma. Here, magical flavors meet where most things have touched the grill. Sit down and experience Sandy’s signatures. You might come for the food and stay for the atmosphere. Or for our Key Lime Pie.
