A private villa rental in Dubai or a pool villa on the Red Sea gives families and friends space, privacy and hotel service on their own terms. These are the finest villa resorts and the most reputable villa agencies in the Middle East, from Palm Jumeirah and Saadiyat Island to the Marrakech Palmeraie and the Bodrum coast.

At a glance
There are two ways to stay. A villa resort gives you a private pool villa inside a five-star resort, with restaurants, a spa, a kids' club and daily housekeeping. A private villa rental, through a vetted agency, gives you an entire house, often with a chef, a driver and a host on call. Villa resorts are easier for a first visit; private villas suit longer stays and larger groups.
For short-term rentals in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, choose a licensed holiday-home operator, and in Morocco and Türkiye choose an agency that inspects every property. Pair your villa with a private chef and our concierge, security and family guide.
