As of June 2026, Abidjan, Plateau, Cocody have 1,996 active Airbnb and VRBO listings. This represents a 11% decrease from the previous year.
The average Airbnb or VRBO in Abidjan generates XOF1.7M per year. High-performing properties earn XOF7.9M/year, while low-performing properties earn XOF501K/year. This wide disparity suggests that market returns are heavily polarized, with top earners capturing a disproportionate share of demand despite an overall 38% revenue contraction.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Abidjan. Average annual revenue is XOF1.7M with 14% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to XOF7.9M/year. The delta between average and high performance indicates that revenue potential is significantly decoupled from the market baseline, likely driven by specific asset positioning.
The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in Abidjan is 14%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of XOF46K, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of XOF4K per day.

Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Abidjan area. I don't have reliable data on short-term rental regulations or enforcement practices for Abidjan, Plateau, or Cocody in Côte d'Ivoire. These cities lack well-documented STR frameworks comparable to Western jurisdictions. The regulatory environment for vacation rentals in Côte d'Ivoire appears underdeveloped, with enforcement likely minimal to non-existent. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
The Abidjan Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has declined 11% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 38%. This indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics. The simultaneous contraction in supply and revenue suggests a market-wide correction rather than a shift in consumer preference.

Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (March-October) when gaining traction is harder.
