surroundings.
A passionate hotelier with an exemplary track record, most recently Vidal completed over a decade with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.
From 2014, he was Managing Director at Las Ventanas al Paraíso, one of the leading resorts in the Americas encompassing 61 suites, 15 villas and 74 private residences. His role was expanded in 2019 to Regional Vice President, where he additionally led five of the collection’s properties across the Americas.
In 2022, while still Managing Director, Vidal was subsequently appointed Vice President of Operations Americas, where he was responsible for the group’s commercial and business strategies, overseeing 14 properties across five countries.
Prior to this, Vidal was General Manager at MAIA Luxury Resort & Spa in the Seychelles for seven years, guiding it from opening to being awarded one of the best beach resorts in the world. He previously held the role of General Manager of Les Thermes Marins de Monte Carlo in Monaco for three years.

“My vision is to work with the team to cement Jumby’s reputation as one of the dreamiest luxury islands in the world and further enhance and elevate the guest experience with thoughtful tailor-made moments, starting from the minute they arrive at our private boat for the short jaunt to our idyllic paradise.”
Timo Gruenert, CEO of Oetker Collection adds: “Frederic's experience and track record are nothing less than impressive. It is a great pleasure to welcome him to the senior management team of Oetker Collection. One of the most exceptional private island resorts in the world is gaining a highly accomplished dynamic leader with excellent interpersonal skills and a true gift for inspiring guests.”
