Products & services

The business operates a portfolio of fully furnished short-term holiday apartments across Dubai, primarily in Discovery Gardens, International City, and near Dubai Marina. Each unit is licensed with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and listed on major booking platforms including Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda. Core revenue streams include: (1) Nightly rental income from direct and platform bookings — rates range from AED 250–800+ per night depending on unit size, location, and season; (2) Service fees charged for cleaning, maintenance coordination, and guest concierge services; (3) Commission-based income from managing third-party owner properties, typically 15–25% of gross booking revenue. All units come with Wi-Fi, DEWA (utilities) included up to a capped amount, and full furnishing. The business handles end-to-end operations: listing optimization, dynamic pricing, guest communication (24/7), check-in/check-out, housekeeping, and regulatory compliance (DTCM permits, Ejari).

Customers & market

Guests come from over 50 countries, with strong demand from European, South Asian, and GCC tourists as well as business travelers visiting Dubai for short-term stays. The Dubai short-term rental market benefits from year-round tourism (17M+ visitors annually), major events (Expo legacy, DSF, GITEX), and a regulatory environment that favors licensed holiday home operators. Average occupancy rates for well-managed Dubai vacation rentals range from 70–90%, with peak seasons (October–March) often near full capacity. The business maintains a high repeat-booking rate through positive guest reviews and platform ratings. Key market tailwinds include Dubai's continued population growth, liberal visa policies, and a growing preference for apartment-style stays over traditional hotels.

Operations & team

The business is run by a team of 15 employees covering operations, guest relations, housekeeping coordination, and maintenance. The founding CEO oversees strategy and key owner relationships, while day-to-day operations are managed by a field operations team. The business operates from two offices in Dubai a registered office in Bur Dubai and an operational office near Ibn Battuta Gate (Jebel Ali Village). Key operational processes include: dynamic pricing across multiple booking platforms, automated guest messaging and check-in coordination, scheduled housekeeping and maintenance, monthly financial reporting to property owners, and full DTCM/DET compliance management. The business runs lean with technology-enabled processes for calendar management, revenue optimization, and guest screening.
