Choosing the perfect villa for rent in the UAE

Usually when one thinks of the UAE, a combination of sand dunes, skyscrapers and bright lights comes to mind. But what doesn’t often come to mind is the thousands of uniquely designed villas that are spread out across this desert oasis. Much of these villas are available for rent and because they’re all so different, there’s something for even the most perceptive and cost conscious tenant.

With the influx of foreign workers in the past 2 decades, the UAE has adapted quickly to provide high quality housing to meet demand. Since many workers come with their families, the sheer number of available villas for rent in the UAE has skyrocketed. Villas come in all sizes and there’s a good mix of furnished and unfurnished rental villas to choose from. You’d also be spoiled for choice when choosing between a free standing villa and one that is in a compound or gated community. 

In the UAE, villas tend to come with gardens of some sort, sometimes there’s a sizeable backyard and even a pool. Due to their size, it also means more maintenance (especially for 4, 5, and 6 bedroom villas) but they do offer a great deal of privacy compared to other forms of housing. In the UAE, renting a villa makes sense for both the short and long term and there’s no shortage of options across the country - it just depends on where you wish to settle and what your work and after hour commitments are like.
