Who We Are
A Family-Led Story of Care, Experience and Home
Sky & Sand Residences grew from experience - not from a business plan.
For many years, we built and managed a steadily growing portfolio of properties in Germany, caring for both our own residences and homes entrusted to us by other owners. Through long-term relationships, trust, and consistent performance, this portfolio expanded organically over time.
Properties are not just assets - they are places people live in, return to, and value deeply.
In 2023, we relocated to Dubai and began a new chapter. Today, Dubai is not only where we work, but where we live. We manage selected properties for our owners while also caring for our own residences, applying the same standards, decisions, and level of care to every home under our responsibility.
Sky & Sand is led by a mother-daughter team. Working closely as a family allows us to remain personally involved, present, and accountable. Nothing is passed on to rotating agents, and no property is treated as “just another unit.”
We deliberately keep our portfolio small - because we believe quality requires presence. Knowing each residence, understanding its details, and caring consistently over time is what protects long-term value.
Our approach is quiet and considered. It shows in well-kept homes, respectful guests, clear communication, and trust built over time.
At Sky & Sand Residences, every home is managed as if it were our own - with care, respect, and attention to detail.
Founder-led. Owner-minded. Personally invested.
“Sky & Sand Residences was founded from experience - not theory.
After years of building, owning, and managing my own residential properties, I learned what truly matters in short-term rental and holiday home management: consistent standards, thoughtful decisions, and treating every home with the same care as if it were my own.
Our approach is shaped by an owner’s perspective. Our fair property management contracts and the way we work are designed exactly as I would expect to be treated as an owner myself – with clarity, flexibility, and long-term thinking at the core.
Guest experience plays an important role in our property management approach, because it directly affects owners. Clear communication, availability, and genuine care build trust. Trust leads to respectful guests, positive reviews, and sustainable, long-term rental performance.
Every residence we manage reflects this mindset: professionally run, carefully maintained, and positioned for strong performance in Dubai’s short-term rental market. We focus on quality over volume and manage each home individually, not as part of a mass portfolio.”

MISSION
VISION
“To redefine boutique property management in Dubai by setting the highest standards of personal care, transparency, and owner satisfaction.”
“Many property owners know this feeling: placing a home in someone else’s hands and hoping it will be cared for with the same attention as if it were their own.
Our experience shows that long-term, trust-based partnerships begin with personal dialogue and a genuine understanding of the owner’s vision. That is why, from the very beginning, we focus on understanding what you are looking for, what your expectations are, and how we can best meet them for you.
As frequent Airbnb travelers ourselves, we understand how important it is for guests to feel welcome from the first moment and to find everything they need upon arrival. This level of care directly benefits owners: guests treat the property with more respect, leave positive reviews, and support long-term performance.
Before founding Sky & Sand Residences, we personally worked with property management agencies in Dubai to rent out our own apartment. Through this experience, we encountered challenges familiar to many owners: limited transparency, inconsistent communication, rigid lock-in contracts, delayed go-live timelines, limited oversight of the apartment’s condition and inventory - and costs that only became apparent after commitments were made.
These experiences shaped our understanding of what truly matters in property management - transparency, consistent care, and the level of responsibility an owner would naturally apply to their own home.
This standard defines how we manage every home entrusted to us - with attention to detail, accountability, and honest communication. We believe in a simple principle: treat others as you would like to be treated. Every home is cared for as if it were our own.
It was from this mindset that Sky & Sand Residences was created - a property management service by owners, for owners.
Personally led, transparent in collaboration, and guided by one clear objective: ensuring you always feel secure, understood, and genuinely well taken care of.”
