Airbnb records strong growth in Brazil with high occupancy and attractive returns for investors

Airbnb is experiencing one of the best moments in its history in Brazil. The country is among the three fastest growing markets for the platform in the world, alongside Japan and India: nights booked have risen for three consecutive quarters, with an increase of more than 20%, and the number of new users making their first reservation grew 22% in the first quarter of 2026 alone. For those thinking about buying a property to rent, the fact that draws the most attention is another: well-located studios have been operating with occupancy above 75% and net returns between 9% and 12% per year — a number that exceeds the traditional rent in most of the areas analyzed.
