Willem (65) | Real Estate Investor Hotel & Horeca

After many years in Monaco, I’m now relocating to Dubai to live and invest. Real estate in Dubai is far more modern and significantly more affordable, while offering a higher standard of living. As a global city, Dubai presents greater opportunities for investors, with low taxes and cutting-edge infrastructure. Arthur is guiding me through the purchase of off-plan properties in key growth areas like Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah near Wynn Casino. He’s practical, price-savvy, and only selects top-tier projects—which is why I highly recommend him.

Due to high taxes, the Affordable Rent Act in the Netherlands, and lower returns, I’m considering investing even more in Dubai. In hindsight, I should have started investing in the Dubai real estate market much earlier. The government in Dubai is extremely ambitious: they plan to add 250,000 residents each year, aiming for a total population of 7 million by 2050. They’re ahead in many areas, which makes for a booming market.

Through Arthur, I’ve been introduced to several fantastic projects by developers such as Sobha, Binghatti, and Ellington—leading names in ultra-luxury real estate. It’s not so much about opulence, but rather the high quality and extensive amenities these projects provide.

I’m currently in the process of applying for a 10-year Golden Visa in Dubai, which requires a real estate investment of at least €500,000. This can be done with the help of a “NOC” (No Objection Certificate) from the developer—an official document that confirms the value of the project.

I’ve opted for off-plan projects scheduled for completion in 2027. These new developments offer more modern facilities like movie theaters, saunas, workspaces, and valet parking. Initially, I considered buying an existing property to renovate, but on Arthur’s advice, I decided to go for new projects. They are more sustainable, equipped with smart home technology, and better suited to the needs of the modern user. Plus, they often feature a more appealing design and aesthetic.

Recently, I purchased an off-plan property in Sobha Hartland 2, one of the most prestigious communities in Dubai. This location not only boasts stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Creek, but is also home to some of the best international schools. It’s currently among the most sought-after projects in Dubai.

Artificial intelligence already plays a role in real estate and will only become more important in the future, particularly when it comes to building amenities and services. In Dubai, there’s no skimping on materials, so the quality of the homes is high. I’m looking forward to these projects being completed and seeing my investments grow into a great return.

As a Software Engineer based in Hamburg, I purchased three apartments in Sobha Hartland with Arthur’s help. All units were delivered on time, finished to a high standard, and are now rented out successfully. Our two-bedroom generates around €5,000 net per month via Airbnb, and resale value has increased by 40%. Arthur’s advice has been crucial—he knows the market, stays in touch with developers, and handles everything smoothly. Dubai offers us strong returns, quality construction, and a perfect place for family holidays.

For a long time, I considered retiring in Dubai—until I found out that my pension income would first be taxed in the Netherlands. That made emigrating financially unappealing. What did turn out to be interesting was investing in real estate and renting it out in Dubai—and that happens to be Arthur’s expertise. He takes care of the entire process: from purchasing off-plan property and furnishing it, to professional photos, listing on Airbnb and Booking.com, rental management, cleaning, inspections, and key handover. His "Holiday Homes 360° Concept" truly covers everything. We've worked together in real estate for years, and recently he showed me that three apartments in Dubai generate more income than a single €750,000 property in Amsterdam. In the Netherlands, my net return would be 2.3%, while in Dubai it’s 7.8%—and completely tax-free. With flexible rental terms, luxury amenities, no municipal taxes, and rent often paid a year in advance, the choice became clear. I hesitated for a while, but the efficiency and comfort in Dubai ultimately convinced me.

After many years of renting out real estate in the Netherlands, I decided to sell my entire portfolio due to stricter rental regulations and increasing tax pressure. Since my partner and I work in aviation and travel frequently, we were already well familiar with Dubai and the unique opportunities it offers for real estate investment. Through Arthur, we purchased a luxury off-plan apartment in Al Furjan for just €285,000—equipped with all modern comforts and an expected net return of 7% to 9%. We now plan to buy a second property in Sobha Solis, a stunning new development in Motor City with views of the Autodrome racetrack. Once the project is completed, we will rent out the unit through the LXRY Holiday Homes 360° concept—which includes furnishing, listing on Airbnb/Booking.com, cleaning, and key management. Everything is taken care of, and we can easily block off the property for personal use when we travel to Dubai ourselves. Dubai offers everything we’re looking for: luxury, convenience, stable returns, and an ideal base for holidays. An added benefit of investing in Dubai is that, as a foreigner, you can own property freehold.
