Princess Tower is among the tallest residential buildings anywhere in the world, and its height on the Dubai Marina waterfront gives upper-floor apartments an open, uninterrupted view over the marina and out to the Gulf. That view premium shows up directly in the numbers. To see how the building compares against operators and the wider market, the best Airbnb management company in Dubai guide is the place to start.
Princess Tower at a Glance
Princess Tower is a 101-storey residential tower on the Dubai Marina waterfront, one of the tallest residential buildings in the world at completion. The building holds studios through to large three-bedroom apartments, with upper floors commanding uninterrupted views over the marina, the Gulf, and Palm Jumeirah in the distance. Residents share a pool deck, gym, and direct promenade access to restaurants, the tram, and the beach. The wider district picture sits in the Dubai Marina Airbnb management guide.

A comparable three-bedroom on a standard annual lease returns a fraction of that on a monthly basis. Short-term rental asks more operationally, which professional management covers in full.

Why Princess Tower Works for Short-Term Rental
Height is the differentiator at Princess Tower. Upper-floor apartments clear the neighbouring towers entirely, giving guests an open marina and Gulf view that photographs well and books at a premium versus lower, obstructed units elsewhere in the district. That view premium, combined with direct promenade access, keeps Marina occupancy at 88% across the year.
