The highest Airbnb-yield districts in Lima (2026)

San Miguel leads Lima on Airbnb gross yield at 3.0%. That is a clear gap over the rest of the field, with Magdalena at 1.9% and Miraflores at 1.8% completing the top three. After that the numbers cluster: Surco 1.7%, Barranco 1.5%, San Isidro 1.3%.

The laggards here are Jesús María at 0.9% and Pueblo Libre at 0.8%. Note that even the leader sits at 3.0% gross, so nobody in this table is throwing off spectacular numbers. Gross yield, remember, is before your costs, taxes, and vacancy.

One thing worth reading into the spread: the fanciest names don't top the list. San Isidro, the prestige address, comes in at 1.3%, below Barranco and Surco. Higher purchase prices drag the ratio down.

These are aggregate medians across each district. A median smooths over a lot of variation, and it says nothing about a specific building or unit. For the underlying detail and caveats, go to the individual district pages.

This is data, not investment advice. Treat the ranking as a starting point for questions, not an answer.
