Are you considering converting your property in Dubai into an Airbnb? In recent years, Dubai’s short-term vacation rental market has reached an all-time high, with Airbnb achieving average occupancy rates of 65%, generating substantial returns for investors.
As you’re setting up your property to rent out as a short-term holiday rental, it is important to keep in mind that designing the interior of your Airbnb is not just about taste but about ROI. When it comes to Dubai’s competitive Airbnb market, how you set up your interior should be treated as a revenue-driving tool, as opposed to mere decoration.
Decide on a Target Audience
Before you start the process of setting up your property, it is important to first establish which type of traveller you wish to attract. Aligning the interior setup of your holiday rental to cater to the specific needs of certain types of guests can greatly boost guest experience and ROI.
Business travellers tend to prioritise productivity and comfort during their stays, so including a dedicated workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi, a coffee station, and quality bedding will greatly increase guest satisfaction. On the other hand, tourist families will benefit most from extra storage, child-friendly features, a fully equipped kitchen, and family entertainment during their stay. Since a lot of these families travel with their children, your goal should be to provide convenience and durability.
Luxurious & Practical Investments
Dubai is known for its luxurious, high-quality living standards, so it would only make sense for guests to expect the same when booking an Airbnb. When it comes to furnishing, it is best to prioritise investing in pieces that offer both quality and comfort.
This is especially true for core areas where guests will spend most of their time during their stay, such as bedrooms, the living room, and the kitchen. Investing in basics such as high-grade mattresses, sofas, televisions, and extra luxurious amenities such as a coffee station, pleasant lighting, modern appliances, and greenery all make for positive guest experiences. Added details such as fresh, plush towels and welcome kits are sure not to go unnoticed as well.
