Why Rio de Janeiro is One of the World's Premier STR Markets
Rio de Janeiro is one of the world's most naturally spectacular cities — a place where Sugarloaf Mountain, Corcovado, and the Christ the Redeemer statue frame a landscape of extraordinary drama. Ipanema and Copacabana are among the world's most famous beaches; Leblon offers Rio's highest-end dining and shopping; Santa Teresa's hillside Bohemia is the city's artistic soul. Angra dos Reis and Paraty — both within reach of Rio — offer some of the most stunning coastal landscapes in South America.
Rio's STR market has significant international demand driven by Carnival, New Year's Eve at Copacabana, Rock in Rio, and the legacy of the 2016 Olympics. Ipanema and Leblon command the highest rates; Copacabana leads in volume. Barra da Tijuca attracts a growing business traveler segment. The market is most competitive for properties that clearly differentiate through branding and visual quality.
