The view from a Stellium home

How much could your apartment earn?

We estimate from real nightly rates of neighbouring units in your building and send it to you on WhatsApp.

We don't chase volume. Every owner knows who runs their apartment — and can call them directly.

Stellium Holiday Homes is a Dubai holiday home, short-term rental and property management company — Airbnb management done end to end, from the DET (formerly DTCM) holiday home permit to guests and payouts. For three years we have been renting out owners' apartments as short-term stays. Every owner gets a private chat with their manager and team, plus live access to the booking calendar of their home — you see each reservation, not just a report once a month.

In-house cleaning company, maintenance team, design studio and 24/7 guest support. We price every night by market and season so your apartment is never empty. Guests and neighbours never call you — our team handles everything.

Dubai property management questions

How much does holiday home management in Dubai cost?

20% of monthly revenue after Airbnb and Booking.com fees, plus 5% VAT on our fee. No fixed fees: we only earn when you earn.

How soon will my apartment start earning?

Photos are taken in about 2 days, and a ready apartment goes live on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo within 1–2 weeks, including furnishing if needed. First guests usually arrive within days of publishing.

When and how do I get paid?

Once a month. You receive a statement by the 15th and the payout to your bank account by the 20th for the previous month. Between payouts you see every booking in your live calendar.

Which apartments do you not take on?

Old apartments whose owners are not ready to refresh them. Tired interiors get worse reviews, and reviews decide how often a listing is shown. Everything else — studios to 3-bedroom apartments in central and beachfront areas — we are happy to look at.

What documents do I need to start?

Title Deed, passport copy, DEWA, internet, chiller and gas account numbers, bank details, service charge statement, two sets of keys, access cards and the parking remote.

Do I need a DTCM (DET) licence for short-term rental?

Yes. Every holiday home in Dubai needs a permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM), and the apartment must meet its standard. We prepare the checklist, buy what's missing and register the unit under our operator licence No. 1333439. Holiday home permit guide →

Who sets the nightly rates?

We do — by market and season, so the apartment isn't empty and isn't cheaper than its neighbours. Our income depends on yours, so we are motivated to rent more often and at higher rates.

Who pays for cleaning, utilities and the service charge?

Guests pay a separate cleaning fee, which covers linen and amenities. DEWA, gas, chiller and internet are paid from the apartment's income. The building service charge is paid by the owner.

How are repairs and maintenance handled?

Minor repairs we handle ourselves; larger work is agreed with you in writing. Emergencies are fixed immediately. AC servicing and linen replacement every 6 months, wall repainting every 18 months — paid from the apartment's income.

What is the minimum contract term?

One year with auto-renewal. The first 6 months are a lock-in period; termination requires 3 months' written notice. The DTCM termination fee of AED 70 is paid by the party that terminates.

Can I stay in my apartment myself?

Yes. Let us know and we'll block your dates. Cleaning after your stay is charged. Low season is the best time, when rental income is lower.

My apartment is empty or in a new building — what now?

Our team does it all: interior design, fit-out and turnkey furnishing to DTCM standards. If utilities aren't connected, we connect them for AED 250 per connection; deposits are paid by the owner.

I don't live in Dubai. Can you manage my apartment remotely?

Yes, many of our owners live abroad. You see bookings in the live calendar, receive a monthly statement and payout to your account, and resolve everything in a chat with your manager.

My apartment is managed by another company. Can I switch to you?

Yes. We'll prepare an estimate for your building so you can compare it with your current numbers. If you decide to switch, we help with the handover of keys, access and unit registration; timing depends on the termination terms of your current contract.

What if I decide to sell the apartment?

Notify us in writing within 24 hours — we'll stop taking new bookings and help with viewings. If the property is sold without notice, cancelled bookings must be compensated under the contract.

How much can an Airbnb apartment earn in Dubai?

It depends on the area, building, view and layout. In our estimate example, a studio that leases for AED 59,500 a year earns the owner around AED 70,000 net as a short-term rental — after utilities and our fee. For your apartment we calculate with real rates of comparable units in the same building.

Short-term vs long-term rental in Dubai — what is the difference?

A yearly lease gives fixed income below market and locks the apartment for a year. Short-term rental prices every night by demand, earns more, and lets you use the apartment on free dates. It requires a DTCM holiday home permit and a management company to run guests, cleaning and maintenance.
