Airbnb & Rental Income Potential
Short-term rental activity already exists at Gardenia Livings: the building has its own dedicated Booking.com listing page, evidence that Dubai Tourism-permitted holiday-home operation is already live in the building, though this reflects third-party activity, not a current Royale Stays management relationship.
Arjan is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim a Royale Stays management track record at Gardenia Livings specifically. Safe Builders & Developers and Aark Developers are private developers rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home in the building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Royale Stays can arrange the permit application and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
Existing third-party short-term-rental activity is visible in a live Booking.com listing page (booking.com/hotel/ae/gardenia-livings.en-gb.html); this does not imply any Royale Stays involvement. No short-term-rental prohibition applies to this Safe Builders/Aark-developed building.
