Manaus

As of May 2026, Manaus has 801 active Airbnb and VRBO listings. This represents a 5% increase from the previous year.

The average Airbnb or VRBO in Manaus generates R$26K per year. High-performing properties earn R$68K/year, while low-performing properties earn R$10K/year. The wide performance gap suggests that top-tier listings capture a disproportionate share of demand, while the broader market faces downward pressure on total revenue despite stable multi-year supply levels.

Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Manaus. Average annual revenue is R$26K with 31% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to R$68K/year. This disparity indicates that profitability is highly polarized, with high earners achieving results significantly above the 31% occupancy average, likely through superior market penetration.

The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in Manaus is 31%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of R$229, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of R$52 per day.

4+ bedroom properties demonstrate the strongest performance in Manaus, with annual revenue of R$40K. These properties balance operating costs and rental demand most effectively in the Manaus market. Property performance varies significantly by location, amenities, and management quality.

Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Manaus area. I don't have reliable current information about short-term rental regulations and enforcement reality in Manaus, Brazil. Brazilian municipal STR regulations vary significantly by city and enforcement data is limited. I recommend contacting Manaus's municipal tourism department (Secretaria Municipal de Turismo) or local property management companies for accurate, up-to-date requirements and actual enforcement practices before operating a short-term rental there. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.

The Manaus Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has grown 5% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 12%. This indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics. The contraction in revenue despite modest supply growth points toward a softening demand environment that is testing the limits of current market capacity.

Launch around April, 2-3 months before peak winter season (July peaks). This pre-peak timing lets you build reviews when competition is -57% lower than peak months. Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (March-May) when gaining traction is harder.
