How the Ranking Works

The ranking covers the 9 markets in Paraíba with at least 30 active Airbnb listings and data through September 2026. Each market is compared with the others on five measures, and markets are ordered by a weighted blend of where they place on each:

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Airbnb Investing in Paraíba

What is the best place to buy an Airbnb in Paraíba?

João Pessoa ranks first of the 9 markets in Paraíba in AirROI's ranking, with US$6,370 in average revenue per listing and 39% occupancy. Areia and Bananeiras follow. The ranking weighs revenue, occupancy, market size, seasonality and growth; it leaves out purchase prices.

What are the most profitable Airbnb locations in Paraíba?

By revenue per listing, among markets with at least 60 listings, Bananeiras leads at US$9,480 a year, ahead of Pitimbu at US$6,690. Profit also depends on what a property costs to buy and run, which varies far more between markets than revenue does.

How much does an Airbnb make in Paraíba?

The average active listing in Paraíba earned US$5,930 over the 12 months to September 2026, at 35% occupancy. Across the ranked markets, the middle half averaged between US$4,900 and US$6,690 per listing. Averages include listings that operated for only part of the year, so a listing rented all year typically earns more.

What is a good Airbnb occupancy rate in Paraíba?

The average listing in Paraíba was booked on 35% of available nights over the past 12 months. Half of the ranked markets fall between 23% and 29%, so a market above about 29% sits in the top quarter. Occupancy is only half the picture: a market with lower occupancy can still earn more if its nightly rates are higher.

Where is Airbnb demand highest in Paraíba?

Among ranked markets with at least 60 listings, João Pessoa has the highest occupancy, with 39% of available nights booked, followed by Cabedelo at 32%. Its listings average about US$66 a night and US$6,370 a year.

Where are Airbnb nightly rates highest in Paraíba?

Among ranked markets with at least 60 listings, Bananeiras has the highest average nightly rate, about US$150, followed by Pitimbu at US$135. Campina Grande is the least expensive, at about US$62. The average booked night in Paraíba costs about US$72.

What is the best month for Airbnb in Paraíba?

January is the highest-earning month for 6 of the 9 ranked markets, followed by June (3). May is the most common slowest month, in 5 of the 9 markets. Each market's report shows its own month-by-month revenue, occupancy and rates.

Which Airbnb markets in Paraíba earn the most evenly through the year?

Among ranked markets with at least 60 listings, Conde has the steadiest income: its slowest month, September, still earns about half of its best. Pitimbu follows, at 42%. Steadier markets are easier to budget for, though they do not always earn the most per listing.

Which Airbnb markets are growing fastest in Paraíba?

Among ranked markets with at least 60 listings, revenue per listing grew most in Bananeiras, up 8% on the year before, and in Campina Grande, up 8%. A single strong year can reflect events or new supply, so it is worth checking a market's monthly trend before relying on it.

Is Airbnb still profitable in Paraíba in 2026?

Revenue per listing grew in 3 of the 6 ranked markets with a comparable year of data; in the typical market it rose 2%. Whether a given property profits depends on its purchase price, financing and running costs.

How many Airbnb listings are there in Paraíba?

AirROI tracked 9,190 active Airbnb listings in Paraíba over the 12 months to September 2026, across 13 markets. The largest ranked market is João Pessoa, with 6,160 listings, followed by Cabedelo with 1,210.
