Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) regulates the holiday home sector. Every legally operated short-term rental must be registered and permitted with DET, and operators must meet its standards — from guest registration to safety requirements.
Yes — "holiday home" is Dubai's official term for what is known internationally as a short-term or vacation rental: a fully furnished residence rented out for days or weeks rather than years.
Yes — every holiday home in Dubai requires a DET permit. As part of onboarding, we arrange and manage the entire licensing process on your behalf, so your property operates fully compliantly from day one.
You can — Dubai allows individual owners to hold a permit. In practice, it's a full-time operation: daily pricing decisions, guest vetting, 24/7 communication, cleaning, maintenance, and compliance. Professional management typically pays for itself through higher occupancy and nightly rates.
A significant one. Occupancy, guest ratings, and pricing discipline vary widely across operators — and they directly determine your returns. Before signing with anyone, ask for their portfolio ratings and occupancy figures. see how we compare →
It depends on location, size, and finish — professionally managed short-term rentals in Dubai typically earn up to 30% more than a comparable long-term lease. We'll prepare a property-specific forecast before you commit to anything.

Utility accounts (DEWA, chiller, internet) remain in the owner's name and are paid by the owner, as with any residence.
Service charges remain the owner's responsibility — they are tied to ownership of the unit, not to how the property is rented.
Yes — Dubai levies a Tourism Dirham fee per bedroom, per night on holiday home stays. It is paid by the guest, not by you — we collect and remit it automatically as part of our management.
Of course. Block your dates in seconds through the owner's app — whether it's a weekend or a whole season. Your home remains yours, always.
Layered protection: every guest must provide their ID and personal details before arrival and is registered with Dubai Tourism, stays are covered by security deposits and platform damage protection, and our team inspects the property after every checkout — so nothing goes unnoticed.
We arrange and pay for third-party liability cover for every property we manage. Contents insurance stays with the owner, as set out in the management agreement. Every stay is also backed by a security deposit and the booking platforms' own damage protection.
Our team coordinates all maintenance, with proactive inspections to catch issues early. Normal wear-and-tear is borne by the owner; guest-caused damage is claimed against deposits or platform protection.
We start with a 3-month minimum — enough time to position your property properly and let performance speak for itself. After that, you're free to cancel at any time with 2 months' notice. No long lock-ins.
From your initial inquiry through assessment & forecast, design & furnishing, and professional photography to the launch of your listing. For a furnished, licensed property, going live typically takes around 2 weeks.
Yes — our design team stages your property to the standard guests associate with 5-star stays, from concept and sourcing to the final setup — we handle everything for you.
It varies with unit size and finish level. Well-designed properties command better reviews and higher nightly rates — it's an investment that pays back. We will provide you with a tailored quote after our initial assessment.
Very few. Provide the ownership documents needed for licensing, keep utility accounts active, and decide how you'd like to use your own calendar. Everything else — from permits to guest care — is handled by us.
Most residential buildings in Dubai do, but some communities have their own restrictions. We verify your building's rules as part of the initial assessment — before you commit to anything.
