02 · Compliance

DET-licensed, so the paperwork is ours.

Licensed operator, registered unit

In Dubai, a company managing holiday homes on behalf of owners must hold a holiday home operator licence, and each unit must be permitted with the Department of Economy and Tourism. CORE operates as a licensed operator and registers your unit under that licence, so you are not navigating the DET portal, the building NOC, and the DEWA paperwork alone.

Tourism Dirham, filed every month

Holiday homes collect a per-night Tourism Dirham and remit it to DET monthly. Miss a filing and you risk fines or permit suspension. We handle the collection and the monthly filing so it is never your problem to remember. The full rules are in our DET permit guide.

Looking for Airbnb specifically?

A holiday home is the licensed product; Airbnb is one channel we list it on. If you came here for Airbnb, see Airbnb management in Dubai, it is the same service, framed for the platform.

03 · Why owners switch

A flat fee beats a commission, every peak night.

Holiday home management, answered.

What is a holiday home in Dubai?

A holiday home is a residential unit licensed by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM) to be let to guests for short stays, under six months. It is the official, regulated term for what guests book as an "Airbnb" in Dubai.

Holiday home vs Airbnb: what is the difference?

Airbnb is one booking channel; a holiday home is the licensed product. CORE lists your DET-licensed holiday home across Airbnb, Booking.com, and direct, rather than relying on a single platform. More on the rules in our DET permit guide.

Do I need a DET permit for a holiday home?

Yes. Any Dubai home let for under six months needs a DET holiday home permit, and a manager operating it on your behalf must hold an operator licence. We handle permit setup and the monthly Tourism Dirham filing as part of onboarding.

How much does holiday home management cost in Dubai?

CORE charges a flat monthly fee per unit, from AED 900, with no commission. Most Dubai managers charge 15–25% of revenue. See the full cost breakdown or the pricing tiers.

Which channels do you list on?

Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and your own direct channel, all in real-time sync so there are no double bookings and your calendar stays consistent everywhere.
