Handover and villa cleaning, laundry collection and home care for NB Collection owners

NB Collection, Hayat Island: Cleaning, Laundry and Home Services

From AED 45.00/hr

The NB Collection is the smallest and most private address in Mina Al Arab: eleven four bedroom beachfront villas by RAK Properties, set immediately beside Nikki Beach Resort and Spa on Hayat Island, each built over three levels with a private pool on the ground floor, balconies on the first and a rooftop sun terrace with provision for a plunge pool, and each with direct access to the beach and to the resort’s gym, spa, pool deck and beach club. The villas sold out on launch and hand over from the last quarter of 2026, so for their owners the first job is the handover clean that turns a construction-finished villa, pool and terrace into a home.

This page is for the eleven households collecting keys at the NB Collection, and for the owners who will let their villa to the guests that a beach-club address attracts. It covers what a handover clean of a three-level villa actually involves, what the first year in a new home does to it, the villa cleaning routine after that, how laundry collection works from a villa door, what owners need for a holiday let, and how a crew gets in beside a resort. Everything is booked in the Halo Clean app with the price shown before you confirm.

NB Collection at a Glance

The NB Collection sits on the beach at the resort end of Hayat Island, with Nikki Beach on one side, the Anantara and the coming Anantara Residences along the shore, Bay Residences and Marbella Villas inland and Lagoon Walk across the water. A villa beside a beach club lives outdoors: the pool, the terraces and the beach are the rooms that get used most, and they are the rooms that bring the sand, the salt and the sun cream back inside. The facts below are the ones that shape how an NB Collection villa gets cleaned and looked after.

Eleven four bedroom beachfront villas by RAK Properties immediately beside Nikki Beach Resort and Spa, sold out and handing over from the last quarter of 2026
Three levels: a private pool on the ground floor, balconies on the first floor and a rooftop sun terrace with provision for a plunge pool, with contemporary architecture and large glass to the sea
Direct beach access and use of the resort's gym, spa, pool deck and beach club, with the marina, the island's parks and the Mina Al Arab hotels a short walk or drive away
Inside the gated Mina Al Arab master community with 24 hour security, and the last plots on Hayat Island still completing around the villas through 2026

Nikki Beach next door, the Anantara and InterContinental along the shore, the marina cafés on the island and Lagoon Walk's restaurants across the water
Choithrams about six minutes, Bloom and Al Mondial within eight, Chubby Cheeks, Little Treasure and Red Bus nurseries nearby, Al Jazeera Al Hamra Boys School about seven
Al Jazeera Medical Clinic about eight minutes, RAK Hospital about twenty, Al Rifaa Mosque within ten
E11 in about eight minutes, RAK International Airport 20 to 25, Dubai about an hour, and limited public transport, so most households run a car

Cleaning an NB Collection Villa: Handover First

A newly handed-over villa is clean by construction standards and dirty by living standards, and a three-level villa with a pool and a rooftop terrace has more of both than an apartment. There is fine cement and plaster dust inside every cupboard, wardrobe and vent on three floors, grout haze and sealant smears on the tiles and stone, protective film and stickers on the glass, the appliances and the sanitaryware, commissioning grime around the pool and its plant room, and beach sand and builders’ grit on every terrace. A handover clean removes all of it, and it should happen before a single piece of furniture arrives, because the dust that goes under a sofa on day one stays there for years.

The first year adds its own pattern. Dust keeps surfacing from behind skirting and inside the AC returns as the villa dries out, snagging visits bring contractors and more dust back in, and the plots still completing nearby keep the terraces gritty. After that, an NB Collection villa settles into the routine of a beachfront home used to the full: salt on the sea-facing glass, sand from the beach on three floors of stairs and terraces, humidity at the seals and in four bathrooms, the pool deck and outdoor kitchen after a weekend, and guest rooms that are rarely empty. Our crews are on the island most days, and every villa booking sends a crew sized to the home with Diversey professional products and their own equipment, with the same crew returning on a recurring schedule wherever possible.

Room by room

Handover: protective film, stickers and packaging residue removed from glass, frames, appliances and sanitaryware on all three levels, grout haze and cement splashes lifted from tiles and stone, sealant smears cleaned back
Inside every cupboard, drawer, wardrobe and kitchen unit, where the construction dust actually lives, wiped out before anything is unpacked into them
Sea-facing glass, balconies and the rooftop terrace: windows cleaned inside and, where there is safe access, outside, tracks and seals cleared of grit, salt and sand, terrace floors, rails and furniture washed
Pool deck and outdoor living: decking and paving rinsed of sand and sun cream, outdoor kitchen and furniture wiped, the plant-room door and pool surround kept clear, with the pool water itself handled by our pool cleaning service
Kitchen and four bathrooms: hob, splashback, sink and worktops degreased, appliance interiors wiped after handover, tiles, grout and glass descaled and sanitised, extractor covers checked, sealant lines treated for the mould that sea air encourages
Bedrooms, majlis, living rooms, stairs and landings: dusting from skirting to ceiling on every level, mirrors and internal glass, wardrobe fronts, floors vacuumed and mopped so the beach sand does not scratch them
AC vents and returns, the tops of tall furniture, the maid's room and the laundry space, where a drying-out villa sheds its dust for a year

Which service fits

Handover and post-construction cleaning for a newly completed villa, pool deck and terraces before the furniture arrives
Villa cleaning for the weekly upkeep of an occupied three-level home, with the crew sized to the villa
Deep cleaning after the first summer, after snagging works, before guests or between lets
Turnover cleaning to a hotel standard for a villa let beside a beach club
Sofa, mattress and carpet cleaning for the new soft furnishings that collect a villa's first-year dust and the beach's sand
Laundry collection and an ironing add-on so the beach towels, guest bedding and kandooras leave with the crew

A handover clean of an NB Collection villa is a full day for a larger crew, sometimes two days if the pool deck and rooftop terrace are heavily soiled; a weekly villa clean is a morning to a full day depending on how many of the three levels and four bedrooms are in use. You choose the hours in the app and the price is shown before you confirm: house cleaning starts at From AED 45.00/hr, villa cleaning is quoted with the crew sized to the home, and handover and deep cleans are quoted by the size and condition of the villa. Gate access is arranged in advance, so the crew arrives at the time you chose.

Laundry Collection in the NB Collection

A villa beside a beach club makes laundry: towels every day, pool towels by the armful, guest bedding for four bedrooms, and the kandooras, abayas and linen shirts that need a proper press before an evening at Nikki Beach. Our laundry collection service takes the bags from your door, has each item washed and pressed, dry cleaned or steam pressed by a specialist laundry partner and returns them in around three days, labelled and scanned at every step, with one collection charge for the whole order. New owners use it for the first wash of everything that came out of a box; after that, hand the bags to the cleaning crew on their regular visit or to the driver at the door, and if you would rather have the ironing done at home, add the ironing option to a house cleaning booking.

Holiday Homes and Rentals in the NB Collection

A four bedroom beachfront villa with a private pool beside Nikki Beach is the most premium short-let product Ras Al Khaimah has, and guests who book it expect the villa to match the resort next door. If you own here and let, the practical questions are the same whether the next arrival is a family for a fortnight or a tenant for a year: who furnishes and photographs the villa after the handover clean, who turns it around between arrivals, who holds the keys and meets the check-ins, who looks after the pool and the garden, and who is accountable when something is not right. Our holiday home management in Mina Al Arab covers listing, pricing, guest care, RAKTDA permits and hotel-standard turnover cleaning for a published share of rental income, with community approvals confirmed per unit before anything is listed. Owners who let long term use our landlord support for move-in and move-out cleaning and inspections, and our keyholder service holds keys and smart-lock codes for cleaners, contractors and check-ins while you are away.

Turnover cleaning in the NB Collection runs to a resort standard: beds made with fresh linen in four bedrooms, bathrooms sanitised, kitchen and outdoor kitchen reset, glass, terraces and pool deck cleared of salt, grit and sand, towels restocked, and a photo record sent when the crew leaves. One accountable team means one phone number when the guest calls about the pool.

Living in the NB Collection: Access, the Resort and Practicalities

Eleven villas beside a resort have their own way in. Security registers visitors and contractors at the Mina Al Arab entrance, the villas have their own street, driveways and gate instructions, and while the last plots on Hayat Island complete, hoardings and contractor routes change from month to month. All of it sits within the rules that RAK Properties, which manages the master community, publishes through its community management team and eServices portal, and the handover process itself, with its snagging inspection, defects list and key collection, has its own sequence. Our crews are on the island most days, so they know the current routes, and the booking calendar only offers times that fit the community’s daytime contractor hours. Our property snagging inspection fits that sequence: a numbered, photographed defects list at a fixed price, booked online before you sign the acceptance.

What we need from you is simple: the villa number, any instruction the community or the handover team has given you, and how the crew gets in if you are out, whether that is a key with our keyholder service, a smart-lock code or a member of household staff. For a handover clean, tell us the key collection date and whether the snagging works and the pool commissioning are finished, so the crew comes once rather than twice. Crews park on the villa driveway, never on the verges or in the resort’s bays, and take waste, packaging and protective film out with them.

Seasonally, a beachfront villa asks for different things. Summer humidity is the bathroom, window-seal and AC season, when a weekly clean earns its keep; winter is the beach, pool and terrace season, when sand, towels and outdoor living put the load on floors, decks and laundry; and the weeks before Eid, the end of the school year and the start of the winter letting season are when deep cleans, laundry collections and guest resets all land at once, so those dates are worth booking early. In the villa’s first year, add a deep clean after the first summer, once the building has dried out and the neighbouring sites have gone quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an NB Collection handover clean include?

Everything that stands between a construction-finished villa and one you can furnish: builders’ dust removed from every cupboard, drawer, wardrobe and vent on all three levels, protective film and stickers taken off glass, appliances and sanitaryware, grout haze, cement splashes and sealant smears lifted from tiles and stone, commissioning grime cleaned from the pool surround and plant-room door, and the four bathrooms, the kitchen, the outdoor kitchen, the balconies, the rooftop terrace and the pool deck cleaned to living standard. We photograph the villa before and after, and if we find snags for your defects list, we tell you.

When should I book the handover clean?

After key collection and, ideally, after the snagging works and the pool commissioning are finished, and always before the furniture is delivered. If the developer’s contractors still have visits to make, book the full clean after their last one and a short clean before the furniture if you cannot wait; a clean done under fresh construction dust does not last. Tell us your key collection date in the booking and we will hold the day.

Do you clean the pool, the rooftop terrace and the garden?

The pool deck, the rooftop terrace, the outdoor kitchen, the furniture and the outside of the ground-floor glass are part of a villa clean where you include them in the hours, and the pool water, filters and chemistry are handled by our pool cleaning service, booked from the home maintenance side of the app, with gardening for the planting around the deck booked the same way. Façade washing and upper-floor exterior glass are specialist jobs; ask us and we will quote or point you to the right contractor.

How much does cleaning cost in the NB Collection?

House cleaning is priced by the hour, with the rate shown in the Halo Clean app; villa cleaning is quoted with the crew sized to a three-level, four bedroom home with a pool deck, and handover cleans and deep cleans are quoted by the size and condition of the villa, from a full day for a larger crew upwards. There are no extra charges for gate access or parking, and recurring villa visits are booked once and run on their own.

How do your cleaners get in beside the resort?

Security registers service providers at the Mina Al Arab gate, and our crews are on the island most days, so they know the villas’ street and the current contractor routes around the last plots. Add the villa number and any instruction the community or the handover team has given you to the booking, and we coordinate arrival with you or with security. If you are not on site, leave a key with our keyholder service, share a smart-lock code, or arrange for household staff to let the crew in.

Why does dust keep coming back in my new villa?

A new villa sheds dust for about a year: plaster and cement dust works out from behind skirting and inside the AC returns as it dries, snagging visits bring more in, and the plots still under construction around the NB Collection blow fine grit onto terraces, the pool deck and sills. A regular villa clean keeps it in check, a deep clean after the first summer resets vents, sills and tracks, and it stops when the villa settles and the neighbours finish.

Do you collect laundry from the NB Collection?

Yes. A Halo Clean driver collects from your villa door, each bag is labelled and scanned, your items are washed and pressed, dry cleaned or steam pressed by our specialist laundry partner and delivered back in around three days. You can hand the bags to the cleaning crew on a regular visit or book a collection on its own, and prices are per item and per treatment, confirmed before collection.

Can I let my NB Collection villa as a holiday home?

Short lets in Mina Al Arab need a RAKTDA holiday home permit plus the community’s own approval, which is confirmed per unit. Our holiday home management service in Mina Al Arab handles the permit, the listing, guests and resort-standard turnover cleaning for a published share of rental income, and we confirm the approvals position for your villa before anything is listed.

Which nearby communities do you also serve?

All of Hayat Island and Mina Al Arab: Bay Residences and the Bayviews towers along the beach, Marbella Villas and Gateway Residences II inland, Cape Hayat, Quattro Del Mar and Porto Playa as they hand over, the Lagoon Views apartments and Lagoon Walk across the water, and Bermuda Villas and Gateway Residences I on Raha Island. Our crews cover Al Hamra Village and Al Marjan Island on the same coastal round.
