Holiday home or long-term rental?
| Factor | Long-term rental | Holiday home |
|---|---|---|
| Income | Fixed annual rent | Nightly rates that follow demand – often higher in peak season |
| Occupancy | Let for the full lease term | Varies by season and location |
| Running costs | Low – the tenant usually pays utilities | Owner pays utilities, furnishing, cleaning and management |
| Registration | Tenancy contract on Ejari | Holiday home permit from Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism |
| Flexibility | Locked in for the lease term | Block dates for your own stays |
Not every building allows holiday homes – we check the building rules before you start.

Holiday homes in Dubai: FAQs
Do I need a permit to run a holiday home in Dubai?
Yes. Holiday homes must be registered with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, and some buildings restrict short-term rentals. We check the rules for your property and guide you through the permit.
Is a holiday home more profitable than a long-term rental?
It can be, especially in tourist-friendly areas, because nightly rates can be higher. But income varies by season and running costs are higher, so we compare both options for your property before you decide.
What does holiday home management include?
Permit guidance, furnishing coordination, listings and pricing, guest communication, check-ins, cleaning, maintenance and owner reporting.
Can I still use my holiday home myself?
Yes. You can block dates in the calendar for your own stays.
Which areas are best for holiday homes in Dubai?
Areas close to attractions and business districts – such as Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay – are popular with guests. Read our article on Dubai’s 2026 short-term rental rules.
