The numbers
A long-term tenancy in Dubai Hills Estate returns AED 105,000 a year with near-zero effort. The same unit hosted at AED 604 a night and 70% occupancy grosses about AED 154,322, and owners on our managed programme average AED 212,964 — a 38% uplift.
The trade-offs
Short-let carries licensing, cleaning, linen and management costs, plus seasonality. Long-term gives certainty and one cheque cycle. Most Dubai Hills Estate owners choose short-let for the upside and flexibility to use the home themselves.
