Based on Airbtics data from September 2025 to August 2026, this page ranks the best Airbnb markets in Latin America by Market Grade.
The grade compares short-term rental yield, year-over-year revenue growth, and occupancy (demand), then adjusts for local regulation.
The table also shows listing count, average daily rate, and annual revenue for every market.
Markets on this page are ranked by the Airbtics Market Grade, not by the number of listings.
The grade compares each market with the other markets in this ranking on three measures, then adjusts for local short-term rental regulation.
Yield: Annual short-term rental revenue divided by property price. A higher yield ranks higher.
Growth: Year-over-year change in revenue. Faster revenue growth ranks higher.
Demand: Average occupancy rate over the last 12 months. Higher occupancy ranks higher.
Stricter short-term rental regulation lowers the letter grade. Occupancy, average daily rate, and annual revenue are shown for every market.
Exact yield and revenue growth are published for the three highest-graded markets. For every other market those two figures are in Market Explorer.
The rankboard plots the same markets by occupancy and average daily rate, and the table under the chart lists those values in text.
