🤝 Work with Abu Nahyan & Atlantis Real Estate to Secure IFA Hotels Investment Units
Because IFA Hotels properties are mostly off-market, limited-edition, or exclusive release, public access is rare. Abu Nahyan and Atlantis Real Estate offer international investors:
- First access to resale and guaranteed-return IFA Hotels units
- White-glove transaction handling from viewing to DLD registration
- Legal support for foreign investors and institutional buyers
- Golden Visa assistance for qualifying property purchases
- Asset management & resale advisory post-purchase
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are IFA Hotels units available for foreign buyers?
Yes. All IFA Hotels developments in Dubai are located in freehold zones such as Palm Jumeirah, meaning 100% ownership for international investors.
Can I get guaranteed income from IFA Hotels investments?
Yes. Select units at Th8 Hotel and Fairmont Residences come with contractual guaranteed returns up to 8.33% annually, paid quarterly. Work with Abu Nahyan to secure eligible units.
Are IFA Hotels properties good for short-term rentals?
Some are. Hotel-licensed properties (like Th8 or Fairmont) allow short-term lettings. However, others are fully managed and cannot be self-leased. Atlantis Real Estate can clarify your options before purchase.
