Dubai, United Arab Emirates-: The clock to a busy holiday season has started ticking, and with the start of Expo 2020, the hospitality industry is gearing up to welcome guests in Dubai.
The experts at Nasma Luxury Stays, a division of Al Tamimi Investments, share some tips and benefits of converting your second or third home into a short/medium-term holiday rental. In addition, landlords that register their units with Nasma Luxury Stays before 15th October 2021 will get a reduction in management fee.
Firstly, homeowners must obtain a unit permit from the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), to lease out their property on a short-term basis. Nasma Luxury Stays’ experts can assist with the full procedure, so homeowners can have a seamless experience from start to finish.
Nasma Luxury Stays advises landlords to choose locations that are in close proximity to the city’s tourist destinations and business districts. The rent per night can depend on the location, view from the property and access to amenities such as gyms and pools, and beach access if any.
The next step as a property owner is to furnish the apartment/villa. This can sometimes be a hassle as the preferences of a homeowner and tenant can differ. Being a short-term rental expert, Nasma Luxury Stays can provide solutions and design advice within the landlord’s budget, bearing in mind the needs of a solo or business traveller, adventure seeker, couple or a family.
Nasma Luxury Stays prioritises the guests’ comfort, above all. This includes providing basic amenities like kettles, safes and towels to more client-considerate provisions such as baby cots, high chairs and wheelchairs. All travellers prioritise a good night’s sleep hence investing in premium quality mattresses, pillows and bedding is also recommended.
The final step once the abode is ready is to showcase the offering. Nasma Luxury Stays can connect the homeowner with professional photographers and videographers to take beautiful visuals of the property. Alongside, the company also has a team of professionals that can style the unit to position it as a holiday home.
Hygiene is undoubtedly an important aspect that travellers consider before booking an accomodation. Considering the Covid-19 regulations, it is mandatory to have a cleaning and sanitation service provider. The units need to be sanitised, especially before a guest’s arrival and after departure. Nasma Luxury Stays makes it easy to procure these services and co-ordinate with the suppliers.
Lastly, in a saturated rental market, a guest’s stay can be made memorable by adding personal touches. For example, Nasma Luxury Stays has collaborated with Emirates Home Nursing to provide guests with premium in-home services including pre-natal care, childcare, baby-sitting, clinical care and senior care, to ensure guests have a hassle-free and comfortable stay.
“With the cooler months ahead, we are anticipating a busy travel season. We recommend homeowners can make the most of this time by renting out their units as a source of additional income, and also to ensure their property is managed on a regular basis. Our expert team can make the process of letting seamless,” commented Cristina Butcaru, General Manager, Nasma Luxury Stays.
Nasma Luxury Stays’ property portfolio features homes in Dubai’s premier locations including Downtown Dubai, City Walk, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Bluewaters Island, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai International Financial Centre and Business Bay.
Guests can choose from chic studio apartments, one to four-bedroom residences or four and five-bedroom villas for long or short-term stays. The villas are complete with private pools, offering the ultimate indulgent getaway with picturesque views.
Every booking includes access to a round-the-clock concierge service that manages all requests including dining, gifts, excursions, and cleaning; a 24/7 Nasma Guest helpline, high quality linen, The White Company amenities and welcome snacks.
