Life’s a hoLiday Whether you need a short-term rental or want to lease out your home, Better Homes Holiday Homes has you covered
Alisha Azzopardi, Portfolio Manager for Better Homes Holiday Homes, and her team looks after 100 fully-furnished, serviced, short-stay apartments in the prime areas of Dubai Tell us about Better Homes Holiday Homes… We recognise that those staying in the UAE for less than a year may not want the hassle of shipping or buying furniture, or the responsibility of maintaining a home. Our holiday homes, which are fully furnished and managed by us, provide an alternative to longer-term contracts. Plus, our homes are more affordable than staying in a hotel, but offer a similar level of service. We offer a range of properties, from compact and great value studio apartments to spacious properties in some of the most desirable districts. Our service is also ideal for property owners, who want an income from

their investment, but don’t want the permanency of a long-term tenant. Who is using the service? We have five different types of people using Better Homes Holiday Homes: holiday makers; business travellers who are working on short-term projects in Dubai; companies that provide their employees with accommodation for short and longer periods of time; new movers, whose Emirates ID isn’t available to enable long-term property leasing; and residents who require temporary accommodation in between moves. How do we get started? The process is very straightforward: simply contact our customer care team, which will assign you to someone who will find a suitable tenant or property to match your personal requirements. Why does the service appeal to business travellers? Many business travellers prefer holiday homes over hotel stays, as they
are familiar with the city. This allows them the freedom to come and go as they please and also creates a home away from home feeling. What period of time does short term cover? You can check in for a minimum of one week and up to one year, depending on your requirement. What about the small print? All lease terms, including price, can be negotiated on an individual basis to suit your requirements, creating a customised experience. Most apartments are also pet-friendly upon prior approval. What’s the most popular area for people staying short-term? Waterfront properties are a favourite among our guests. Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) are the most popular locations. 04 409 0998, holidayhomes.bhomes.com
