As of June 2026, Luanda has 201 active Airbnb and VRBO listings. This represents a 6% increase from the previous year.
The average Airbnb or VRBO in Luanda generates AOA3.4M per year. High-performing properties earn AOA15.7M/year, while low-performing properties earn AOA1.2M/year. This massive disparity suggests a bifurcated market where top-tier listings capture disproportionate demand, highlighting significant variance in asset desirability despite stagnant supply growth.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Luanda. Average annual revenue is AOA3.4M with 17% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to AOA15.7M/year. The 17% occupancy rate reflects a challenging environment where revenue concentration at the top indicates that only select units effectively mitigate broader market softness.
The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in Luanda is 17%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of AOA72K, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of AOA7K per day.
1-bedroom properties demonstrate the strongest performance in Luanda, with annual revenue of AOA4.1M. These properties balance operating costs and rental demand most effectively in the Luanda market. Property performance varies significantly by location, amenities, and management quality.
Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Luanda area. I don't have reliable current information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality in Luanda, Angola. The regulatory framework for STRs in Luanda is unclear, and I cannot verify whether permits, licenses, or registration requirements exist or how they're enforced in practice. I recommend contacting local authorities or legal experts in Luanda for accurate, up-to-date information on short-term rental compliance requirements. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
The Luanda Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has grown 6% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 29%. This indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics. This compression in RevPAR despite moderate supply expansion suggests that incoming inventory may be struggling to find absorption within the existing guest base.
Launch around September, 2-3 months before peak winter season (December peaks). This pre-peak timing lets you build reviews when competition is -5% lower than peak months. Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (September-May) when gaining traction is harder.
The most common amenities in Luanda listings include: Air Conditioning (100%), Kitchen (94%), Tv (91%), Washing Machine (85%), Parking (41%). Amenities that boost revenue the most include Washing Machine, Bbq, Gym, with Washing Machine properties earning approximately 108% more (AOA13.6M/year vs AOA6.5M/year).
Monthly estimated revenue per listing in Luanda over the last 12 months: May: AOA162K, June: AOA194K, July: AOA200K, August: AOA176K, September: AOA176K, October: AOA203K, November: AOA291K, December: AOA345K, January: AOA257K, February: AOA197K, March: AOA235K, April: AOA278K. These figures are based on RevPAR (revenue per available room) multiplied by the number of days in each month.
The overall average nightly rate in Luanda is AOA72K, up 16% year-over-year. By property size: 1-bedroom properties average AOA65K/night, 2-bedroom properties average AOA76K/night, 3-bedroom properties average AOA82K/night, 4+ bedroom properties average AOA73K/night. Rates peak in April and are lowest in August.

Over the past year, the Luanda Airbnb and VRBO market has seen the following changes: supply grew 6%, revenue per listing decreased 29%, occupancy fell 12%, average nightly rates increased 16%, and lead time decreased 32%. Increasing nightly rates alongside declining occupancy and lead times points to a shift toward last-minute, price-sensitive bookings.
