Maison Privee

What Maison Privee does

Maison Privee (legal entity Maison Prive Holiday Homes Rental L.L.C.) is a Dubai-based, technology-enabled hospitality operator founded in 2017 by Paul Mallee that manages full-service short-term vacation rentals and corporate housing across premium UAE submarkets. The company curates a portfolio of approximately 120 furnished apartments and villas in locations including Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, DIFC, JBR, and Business Bay, with 109 units in Dubai and 11 in Abu Dhabi, and it holds Dubai DTCM Tourism Licence No. 777649.

The product is delivered through a hybrid technology stack: a proprietary direct booking engine at booking.themaisonprivee.com, the Avantio CRM for property and reservation management, automated digital welcome packs, 24/7 guest support infrastructure, and optional contact-free self check-in. Distribution is multi-channel, combining the owned booking platform with major OTA partnerships (Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, VRBO, Marriott Homes & Villas) and a direct corporate sales motion targeting multinational corporations, relocation agencies, and travel management companies. Adjacent services include concierge support, airport transfers, tours and activities via GetYourGuide integration, and additional hospitality add-ons.

The revenue model rests on four streams: (1) nightly short-term rental fees (AED 112-385+) billed through direct and OTA channels; (2) property management for owners under either a revenue-share or guaranteed-income structure with monthly owner statements; (3) corporate accommodation contracts on flat daily/monthly rates with 30-day invoice terms; and (4) ancillary guest services such as airport transfers (AED 250), housekeeping, private chef, and tours. The company has been recognized as Dubai's Leading Holiday Villa Rental Company at the World Travel Awards for six consecutive years (2020-2025), was the first vacation rental operator in the Middle East to win that award, and was the first Dubai-based vacation rental business to receive the WTTC Safe Travels Stamp. In November 2025 it announced a joint venture with Knowledge Economic City to enter the Saudi Arabian market via a short-term rental management platform in Madinah.
