For owners in Palm Jumeirah
Villa and apartment management on Palm Jumeirah
A villa on the Palm is one of the most sought-after stays in Dubai, and one of the most demanding to run well. We take villas and apartments on the island, and we run them for the guests who book them: families and groups who want space, a pool and the beach to themselves.
fäm Living is the holiday homes company of fäm Properties, licensed by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism.
Why the Palm works as a holiday home
Palm Jumeirah is the address guests search for by name. The fronds are quiet roads of villas, many with the sea at the end of the garden; the trunk is apartments with beach access and views back to the city; the crescent holds the resorts. Whatever part of the island your property is on, it is already the thing people come to Dubai to stay in.
A villa here competes with a resort suite, not with another apartment. A family or a group of friends gets bedrooms for everyone, a private pool, a kitchen and a beach, for the price of a few hotel rooms. That is why frond villas book for celebrations, family holidays and the winter season, and why they deserve to be run like a small hotel rather than a spare home.
Apartments on the trunk and the crescent suit couples and smaller families who want the beach and the views without the scale of a villa. They let well across more of the year, and they are simpler to run.
Villas need a different kind of management
A villa is not a large apartment. There are more rooms to turn around between stays, a pool and a garden to keep in condition, more linen, more keys, and neighbours who expect a quiet road. Guests arrive in groups and expect everything to work on the first evening.
We plan the operation around that: thorough turnarounds, guest screening that takes group size and the purpose of the stay seriously, a security deposit held for every booking, clear house rules, and a team in Dubai who check guests in personally and deal with problems the same day.
Furnishing matters more too. A villa that photographs as a home rather than a show flat is what earns the booking, and we help you furnish and style it to that standard if it is not already there.
What we do for a Palm Jumeirah owner
We take the whole operation off your hands. We register the property for its holiday home permit with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, help furnish it, carry out a full inventory check, shoot it properly and list it on our own site and the major platforms.
Then we run it: pricing that follows the season and the event calendar, guest screening and ID checks, in-person check-in, 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 the villa for yourself or your family.
Is your property a good fit?
We take villas on the fronds and apartments across the island. What matters most is condition: a property that is newly built or well kept, with a pool and garden in good order for a villa, earns more and needs less fixing between guests.
Unfurnished is fine, since furnishing is part of what we do. Some Palm buildings have their own rules on short stays or require a no-objection certificate from the developer or owners' association, and we check that before anything else.
What a Palm villa or apartment could earn depends heavily on the frond, the beach, the size and the season, so we quote from what comparable homes actually earned rather than from a rule of thumb.

Straight answers
Owners in Palm Jumeirah ask
- Can I rent out my Palm Jumeirah villa as a holiday home?
- Yes, once it holds a holiday home permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism. We handle the registration, furnishing, listing and the day-to-day running, and you keep the ownership and the income.
- Who manages holiday home villas on Palm Jumeirah?
- fäm Living takes on villas and apartments on Palm Jumeirah and runs them as licensed holiday homes, listed on Airbnb, Booking.com and our own site, with check-in, cleaning and maintenance handled by our team in Dubai.
- How do you protect a villa from parties and damage?
- Every guest is screened and ID-verified before arrival, group size and the purpose of the stay are checked, a security deposit is held for every booking, and house rules are agreed in advance. Our team checks guests in personally, so someone has seen the villa and met the guests on day one.
- Can I still use my villa myself?
- Yes. You can block your own dates in the owner portal whenever you want the villa for yourself, your family or friends.
- What does villa management cost on Palm Jumeirah?
- Our terms are agreed per property rather than published, because a frond villa and a studio on the trunk are very different jobs. We set them out in writing after the consultation, before you sign anything.
