Program Details
Nova Fitness Retreat is Vietnam’s first purpose-built fitness retreat, set in a tropical environment in Phú Quốc. Our volunteer program is designed for active, practical people who enjoy outdoor work and want to experience life within an international fitness and wellness community.
You’ll help care for and improve Nova’s gardens, farm areas and outdoor spaces. In return, we provide accommodation, meals and access to fitness classes and facilities outside working hours.
We value volunteers who are reliable, positive and take pride in their work.
Activities & Shift
Volunteers normally contribute around 6 hours per day, 6 days per week.
Activities may include gardening, grass cutting, watering plants, planting, trimming, farm maintenance, landscaping, general outdoor cleaning, small repair projects and helping maintain the overall appearance of the retreat.
The role is mainly outdoors and physically active, so it is best suited to someone who enjoys working with their hands and being outside.
Rules
Nova is a non-smoking environment for staff and volunteers. Alcohol is not permitted during working hours.
Volunteers are expected to arrive on time, complete agreed shifts, follow instructions, use tools and equipment responsibly, and treat guests, staff and other volunteers respectfully.
Reliability, teamwork and a positive attitude are important. Serious misconduct, repeated missed shifts, unsafe behaviour or failure to follow reasonable instructions may result in the volunteer arrangement being ended.
