For owners in JLT
Holiday home management in JLT
Jumeirah Lakes Towers is a district of residential and office towers set around man-made lakes, across Sheikh Zayed Road from Dubai Marina, with two metro stations inside the community. If you own an apartment here, fäm Living can turn it into a licensed holiday home and run it for you, 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 JLT works as a holiday home
JLT sits next to Dubai Marina and a short ride from JBR beach, with the metro inside the community and cafés and restaurants around the lakes. Guests get the Marina side of the city without paying Marina prices.
It also draws people here for work. The towers include offices as well as homes, so business visitors, people on project assignments and new arrivals looking for a base near the west of the city all book here, often for weeks or months.
That mix suits an owner who wants the apartment working all year: holidays in the busy season, longer stays the rest of the time. We price each unit for both.
What we do for a JLT owner
We register the unit for its holiday home permit, help furnish it to the standard guests expect, carry out a full inventory, photograph the apartment and its lake or Marina 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. We run each unit by the night when short stays pay best and by the month when long-stay demand is stronger.
You see bookings, statements and payouts in the owner portal, and you can block your own dates whenever you want to use the apartment.
Nightly, monthly or both
A JLT apartment can earn from short city breaks and from month-long stays by people working nearby. We run each unit on whichever pays better at the time.
A month-long guest in a licensed holiday home is a booking, not a tenancy, so the apartment comes back to you when the stay ends.
Is your apartment a good fit?
Studios to two-bedroom apartments in good condition, close to a metro station and with a building pool and gym, tend to do best. A lake or Marina view helps. Unfurnished is fine, since furnishing is part of what we do.
JLT has many towers, each with its own management, and some have their own rules on short stays or need a no-objection certificate. We check that for your tower before anything else.
What your unit could earn depends on the tower, the view, the layout and the season, so we quote from what comparable homes actually earned rather than from a rule of thumb.
