Best job in the world? Luxury travel company seeks reviewer to tour world's best resorts for a YEAR on trip worth $1MILLION

If you’ve ever dreamed of living the millionaire lifestyle, but without spending a penny, then this could be the perfect job for you.

A luxury travel company is looking for one lucky globetrotter to tour the world for a whole year, reviewing all the most exclusive hotels and resorts.

The trip is worth a whopping $1million (£600,000) and will see the successful applicant stay on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island, visit David Furnish’s new Champagne lounge in Las Vegas, review the Velaa Private Island hotel in the Maldives and ski in Europe’s most celebrity-studded resorts.

Behave like a Branson: Sir Richard’s private Necker Island is one of the properties that the successful applicant will have to review

Settle in: Necker Island is available to those who can fork out the hefty price tag of £37,500 per night and is also the Bransons’ favourite retreat

If you were to travel to these stylish hotspots under your own steam, you would be expected to shell out £126,000 a week for the Velaa Private Island, the exclusive resort that boasts a Michelin star chef, dolphin watching and a honeymoon suite you can only reach by boat, and £37,500 per room per night to stay on Necker Island.

There is even an option to take a plus one with you so that you won’t have to live the high life alone.

So, what qualities are needed to tour the world in style and mingle with the wealthy elite? Unsurprisingly, applicants need to be discrete, discerning, eloquent and sociable. They are also required to demonstrate considerable passion travel as well as knowledge and experience and have a fine appreciation of food, culture and entertainment.
