Short answer: as of late October 2026, a studio or one-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina starts from about AED 210 a night (most AED 240–570), a two-bedroom AED 460–1,100, a three-bedroom AED 535–760 and a four-bedroom beachfront apartment by JBR AED 440–1,540. Peak season (roughly November–March) can run 2–3× these floors.
These are prices for short stays and monthly rentals in furnished holiday homes, not purchase prices — we don't quote sale prices. This guide is written by RentalHo, which operates around 36 holiday homes, all in Dubai Marina and JBR.
Nightly prices by apartment size
Lowest available nightly rate per listing on our site, as of late October 2026:
| Apartment | Nightly rate from |
|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom | About AED 210 (most AED 240–570) |
| Two-bedroom | AED 460–1,100 |
| Three-bedroom | AED 535–760 |
| Four-bedroom beachfront by JBR (sleeps 12–14) | AED 440–1,540 |
Rates are set per apartment and per date, and they change daily, which is why the cheapest four-bedroom can sit below the cheapest three-bedroom on a given day. The quote for your exact dates is the number that counts.
Seasonality: when prices are highest
- Summer low season is the floor — the ranges above.
- Peak season (roughly November–March) commonly runs 2–3× the floor, higher on weekends and around major events.
- Christmas to New Year is usually the most expensive week of the year, often with minimum stays. See our New Year's Eve and peak season guide.
Prices per week and per month
Each apartment has its own weekly discount (7+ nights) and monthly discount (28+ nights). They're applied automatically in the quote — you don't need to ask or use a code. Because the discount and the nightly rates vary by apartment and date, the reliable weekly or monthly figure is the quote for your dates.
For a month, a furnished holiday home includes electricity, water and Wi-Fi, so there are no utility accounts to set up. Our monthly rental guide compares it with an annual lease.

Marina or JBR: which costs less?
Dubai Marina has the entry-level options — studios and one-bedrooms in towers such as Panoramic Tower, Ocean Heights and DEC Tower. The large beachfront apartments by JBR, in Al Fattan Marine Towers and Dorra Bay, cost more per night but are often cheaper per person: at the floor, a four-bedroom shared by 12 people works out at under AED 40 per person per night. For the full comparison, see Dubai Marina vs JBR.
