For owners in Bluewaters
Holiday home management on Bluewaters Island
Bluewaters is a small, walkable island off JBR beach, with the sea on every side. fäm Living runs Bluewaters apartments for the guests who want somewhere rare to stay, by the night and by the month.
fäm Living is the holiday homes company of fäm Properties, licensed by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism.
Why Bluewaters works as a holiday home
Bluewaters is unusual in Dubai: an island you can walk around, with restaurants at street level and the beach a short walk across the bridge. Guests remember it, and that shows in how they search for it by name.
It draws couples, families and longer-stay guests who want something calmer than the Marina but close to it. Demand is strongest from autumn to spring.
With a limited number of residential buildings on the island, a well-run, well-presented apartment stands out.
What we do for you
We register the unit for its holiday home permit, help furnish it to the standard guests here expect, carry out a full inventory, photograph the apartment and its view properly, and list it on our own site and the major platforms.
Then we run it: pricing that moves with the season, events and length of stay, guest screening and ID checks, in-person check-in by our team, cleaning and linen between every stay, and maintenance handled before it reaches you.
You see bookings, statements and payouts in the owner portal, and you can block your own dates whenever you want to use the apartment.
Is your apartment a good fit?
Studios to three-bedroom apartments in good condition do best, especially with a sea view. Unfurnished is fine, since furnishing is part of what we do.
Some buildings have their own rules on short stays or need a no-objection certificate from the developer or owners' association. We check that for your building on Bluewaters before anything else.
What your unit could earn depends on the building, the view, the layout and the season, so we quote from what comparable homes actually earned rather than from a rule of thumb.
