Yes, you can rent a property for three months in Dubai through holiday homes, serviced apartments, short-term rental agencies, or flexible leases from landlords. Holiday homes and hotel apartments are the most convenient, as they come fully furnished with utilities included and no Ejari registration required. Some landlords offer short leases, but they may require separate utility payments and deposits. Always ensure the property is licensed for short stays and check for hidden fees before committing.

A short-term rental in Dubai refers to leasing a furnished property for a period of one day to six months, typically through platforms like Airbnb, Bayut, or licensed holiday home operators. These rentals are fully furnished, include utilities, and do not require Ejari registration (unlike long-term leases). They are ideal for tourists, business travelers, or residents seeking temporary accommodation. The Dubai Tourism Department (DTCM) regulates short-term rentals, and landlords must get a holiday home permit to operate legally.

The best places to rent a vacation home in Dubai depend on your preferences. Downtown Dubai offers luxury apartments near Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, perfect for tourists. Dubai Marina & JBR provide beachfront stays with vibrant nightlife, ideal for young travelers and families. Palm Jumeirah offers ultra-luxury villas with private beaches for a high-end experience. Business Bay has modern high-rises with canal views, great for business travelers, while Jumeirah & Umm Suqeim feature spacious beachfront villas, perfect for families seeking a relaxed stay.

Dubai allows non-residents to purchase freehold properties in designated areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). Buyers can choose from apartments, villas, or serviced residences, and there are no property taxes. Additionally, purchasing a property worth at least AED 750,000 may qualify you for a Dubai residency visa. However, short-term rentals require a holiday home permit from Dubai Tourism (DTCM) if you plan to rent it out.
