The Challenge

Self-managing your rental
costs time, nerves and money.

A guest has locked themselves out, the water isn't running, the air conditioning breaks down: in holiday rentals, this happens regularly. Then every hour counts. If the problem isn't solved quickly, a bad review follows, and that costs bookings and cuts into revenue. On top of that, the market in Northern Cyprus is growing, with more properties joining the platforms every year. If you start on your own, you start with a profile that has not a single review.

A guest is locked out
No water, no air conditioning
Unreliable tradespeople
Guest messages around the clock
A new profile with no reviews
Every bad review costs bookings

We solve problems
before they become reviews.

Our tradespeople are on site quickly, our cleaning team works by checklist, and guests get an answer around the clock. And your property doesn't start from zero: it runs under our profile with 425 reviews, 4.82★ and Superhost status.

Income Potential

What can your property earn?

Real booking data from our active portfolio in Northern Cyprus, for the full year 2025. All properties are located in high-quality resort complexes, with sea views, pool facilities and premium furnishings. Gross revenue including all guest and host fees.

Property Type Avg. Occupancy Annual revenue 2025 (gross)
1 Bedroom Apartment 70% €17,285
2 Bedroom Apartment 66% €23,592
3 Bedroom Penthouse 72% €44,706

* Gross revenue incl. all Airbnb and cleaning fees, before Azur Prime management fee. Occupancy refers to bookable nights only. As all owners also use their properties personally, achievable annual revenue with full availability would be correspondingly higher. Peak season: April–October.

Airbnb review
Celal E. Istanbul, Turkey · February 2026

"Besides the outstanding stay where I felt right at home, the host's quick response and support in all matters made for a wonderful experience. The house had no shortcomings regarding cleanliness or privacy. Thank you for this wonderful stay."

Airbnb review
Colin Stolberg, Germany · January 2026

"Ferhat is a very responsive and helpful host. The apartment is beautiful and brand new, with a wonderful mountain view from the balcony. The spa facilities are a great bonus, and the Turkish breakfast at the restaurant is definitely worth trying. We had a great stay and can only warmly recommend this accommodation."

The founders

Ferhat Elci

Founder & Managing Director

"In 2021, I spent nearly six months travelling South America: Colombia, Mexico etc., living almost exclusively in Airbnbs. I know first-hand what guests want and expect. I moved to Northern Cyprus in 2023 and have been professionally managing short-term rentals since 2024."

My team and I personally look after every property in our portfolio. I have Turkish roots, grew up in Germany and come from a skilled trades background. I bring that thoroughness directly on the ground. On the island I have built a network of reliable tradespeople who are on site quickly whenever something needs doing. I speak fluent German, Turkish and English: with owners, authorities, craftsmen and guests.

Before becoming a host myself, I stayed in Airbnbs again and again over the years. I know from my own experience what guests look for, and I bring exactly that to every property.

Marc Larbig

Co-Founder & Advisor

Marc Larbig is a real estate consultant and Northern Cyprus market expert. Having lived in Northern Cyprus since 2022, he knows the market inside out. As co-founder, he contributes his in-depth market knowledge in an advisory capacity and knows exactly what it takes to furnish and market a property successfully.

Through our work with developers such as Kayım Group, we know the complexes, locations and how they develop first-hand. Owners benefit from this in furnishing, pricing and marketing.

Cleaning

Our cleaning is led by a trained professional, not a casual helper. Every clean follows fixed hygiene rules and a digital checklist, and the condition is documented after each one.

Caretakers & repairs

Several German craftsmen look after our properties as caretakers. Minor repairs are usually done right at guest changeover.

Processes

An IT specialist makes sure guest communication and many processes run automatically in the background, leaving time for what needs a personal touch.

At a glance

Want to rent out your holiday apartment in North Cyprus?

Request a free potential analysis →

You own an apartment, penthouse or villa in Northern Cyprus and want to rent it out as a holiday home without dealing with guests, cleaning and maintenance yourself? That is exactly what we do. Azur Prime handles full-service property management and Airbnb management: from the listing and pricing to guest communication, check-in, cleaning and on-site maintenance.

Bookings come in through Airbnb, Booking.com and our own direct booking website. You see every booking live in your Owner Portal and can use your property yourself at any time. We manage holiday rentals for owners mainly in Esentepe and Lapta, and are now also establishing ourselves in Iskele.

Common Questions

Before you start

Most holiday apartments and villas in Northern Cyprus are well-suited. In your free consultation we'll honestly assess location, furnishing, and potential. If it's not a good fit, we'll tell you straight.
We currently manage 30+ properties, mainly in Esentepe and Lapta, two of the most sought-after coastal regions in Northern Cyprus for holiday properties. We are also establishing ourselves in Iskele. If you're interested in other regions, feel free to reach out.
Not at all. Many of our owners live abroad, for example in Germany, Austria or the United Kingdom. We handle everything locally. All communication and signing can be done completely remotely.
In German or English, whichever you prefer. Ferhat also speaks fluent Turkish, which helps when dealing with local authorities and craftsmen, and with guests from all over the world.
After the initial consultation and signing the management agreement, we typically have your property live on Airbnb within 7–14 days, including photography, listing creation, and full setup.

Fees & payouts

We work on a performance basis: we only earn when you earn. Our commission is a percentage of the rental revenue generated and sits within the standard market range for professional short-term rental management in Northern Cyprus. No flat setup fees, only the one-time cost for professional photography of your property. No hidden costs. The exact terms depend on the number and type of properties, more properties generally mean more attractive terms. We're happy to walk you through all the details in your free consultation.
Billing takes place monthly in the following month. After invoicing, the transfer takes a few days depending on your bank. EU banks are generally faster than local banks in Northern Cyprus. You can view the exact status of your earnings and payouts at any time in your personal Owner Portal.
We transfer worldwide: to European banks via the SEPA system and to international banks via SWIFT, including Turkish banks, banks in Kazakhstan and many other countries. Please note that transaction fees and processing times vary depending on the payment system and bank. SEPA transfers are generally faster and cheaper than international SWIFT transfers.
Northern Cyprus has a pronounced peak season from April to October. During the low season, we actively optimise pricing to maximise occupancy. A real advantage of Azur Prime is our local estate agent network: our partners specifically book their travel groups with us even during the low season. This generates bookings outside the peak period and sets us apart from pure Airbnb managers.

Day-to-day rental

Absolutely. You can block dates in your Owner Portal anytime for personal use. Your property remains yours. We simply manage the short-term rental side.
We primarily list on Airbnb, where we have been active for 2.5 years and, as a Superhost, have 425 reviews averaging 4.82★. We're also listed on Booking.com and operate our own direct booking website at azurprime.com, which is also listed on Google Vacation Rentals, Google Search, and Google Maps. In addition, we generate bookings through direct partnerships with local estate agents and travel groups, particularly valuable during the low season. We continuously evaluate additional booking platforms to maximise your reach and occupancy.
On average in under 8 minutes, around the clock, 7 days a week. Fast response times are one of the most important factors for good reviews and Superhost status on Airbnb.
We rely on multiple layers of protection, regardless of which channel a guest books through. For Airbnb bookings, Airbnb AirCover protects hosts against damages up to 2 million USD, a protection we have already successfully used on multiple occasions. For bookings via Booking.com and our direct booking site, we're currently working on a security deposit feature that adds an additional layer of protection independent of the booking channel. Regardless of the channel, we also document the condition of your property at every cleaning through our cleaning app, with photos and a detailed report. We are currently rolling out inventory lists for selected units and will expand this feature to all properties, giving both you and us full oversight of your property's condition, no matter which platform the booking came through.
