Airbnb income in Lima, by district
Long-term tenants are steady; Airbnb can earn more — but only in the right district, and only if you'll run it. Here's what the short-term-rental numbers say across Lima's investor districts.
The Lima Airbnb market
City-wide short-term-rental snapshot from our own Lima census, refreshed weekly · data to 2026-07-30.
Average nightly rate over time
Airbnb figures are our own census of Lima listings, swept weekly and retained as history. Seasonality is sourced from airroi.com. How we calculate these.
The city-wide numbers above are averages, pulled up by a small number of high-performing listings; the per-district figures below are medians — the typical listing, not the mean — which is why a district median (e.g. Miraflores) sits well below the city average.
| District | Nightly | Occupancy | Airbnb net | Long-term net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magdalena | $53 | 56% | 4.6% | 4.7% |
| Jesús María | $51 | 56% | 4.6% | 5.2% |
| Miraflores | $66 | 50% | 4.4% | 4.7% |
| San Isidro | $62 | 56% | 4.2% | 4.4% |
| Pueblo Libre | $43 | 53% | 4.2% | 5.1% |
| San Miguel | $50 | 44% | 4.1% | 5.3% |
| Barranco | $55 | 54% | 3.6% | 4.6% |
| Surco | $44 | 49% | 3.2% | 4.9% |
Both columns are net, on the same cost model, so they are directly comparable — that is the only basis this site uses. The Airbnb net carries the platform fee, a real utilities bill and the building's mantenimiento; the long-term net carries no mantenimiento, because its tenant pays that. Both are self-managed. See each district page for the verdict, and the full cost table.
