Why Dubai is a golden opportunity for renters right now: key benefits

Croatian private landlords have, over the past years, built a strong and stable tourism product. However, as the market matures and seasonality and regulatory frameworks become increasingly pronounced, a growing number of property owners are considering investment diversification. In this context, Dubai has emerged as one of the most promising real estate markets globally, particularly for those who already understand the value of professionally managed rental properties.

Recently, more than 35 clients and agents gathered in Dubai, where they had the opportunity to directly explore current developments and assess the market’s investment potential. What was confirmed aligns with what global analyses have indicated for some time – Dubai is in a phase of strong and stable growth, supported by clearly defined regulations and a high level of security for investors.

From Istria to Dubai: a natural step for experienced landlords

Property owners who successfully rent out real estate in Croatia are accustomed to strategic planning, revenue forecasting, and occupancy optimisation. For this reason, Dubai does not represent a risky leap, but rather a natural extension of portfolio development. Unlike Mediterranean destinations, Dubai is not subject to pronounced seasonality, allowing for stable, year-round income.

Dubai is a global business and tourism hub, with a continuous influx of tourists, business travellers, and residents. This diversified demand structure enables property owners to plan long-term income without dependence on summer months or weather conditions.

A market with consistent capital appreciation

One of the key reasons investors choose Dubai is the steady growth in property values. The city is developing systematically through large-scale infrastructure projects, new business districts, and residential communities, all supported by strong government backing and a clearly defined long-term development vision.

New residential developments in Dubai are designed according to high modern living standards, with a strong focus on construction quality, functionality, and added amenities. Properties are typically delivered fully furnished, allowing investors to begin renting immediately and achieve a faster return on investment.

How financially accessible is entering the Dubai market today?

Contrary to common belief, investing in Dubai is not reserved exclusively for large investors. Current projects allow entry from approximately EUR 250,000, with flexible payment plans spread across construction phases. This approach is particularly attractive to landlords who wish to expand their portfolio gradually, without sudden financial strain.

Additional security is provided by a transparent legal framework and the possibility of remote property management through verified agencies, which is especially important for investors who do not reside in Dubai.

Tax and operational advantages that make a difference

Dubai is one of the few markets offering an exceptionally favourable tax environment for investors. There is no tax on rental income and no capital gains tax, which significantly increases net returns. Property management is straightforward, highly digitalised, and clearly regulated, while the entire purchase and ownership process is tailored to international buyers.

For many Croatian landlords, this combination of stability, transparency, and operational simplicity makes Dubai an exceptionally attractive investment option.

Who are the Croatian investors investing in Dubai?

The profile of Croatian buyers largely aligns with that of experienced landlords. These are owners who already hold one or more properties, understand market dynamics, and seek long-term, secure solutions. Most purchases are made with a clear objective of generating rental income, while a portion of investors combine personal use with short-term rentals, further increasing investment flexibility.

This collaboration provides Croatian investors with access to verified projects, professional consultations, and full support – from initial interest through purchase and subsequent property management.
