Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Singapore, Singapore, Data & Trends 2026

Over the analysis period 2025-06 to 2026-05, Singapore averaged 55% occupancy at an ADR of 121 EUR (about $110), producing roughly 1,802 EUR (about $1,638) in average monthly revenue across 199 booked nights per year. Singapore is the only city reported for the country, so it effectively sets the national average itself rather than running above or below a wider field.

Year-on-year revenue is down about 11%, and the seasonality index is high at 88%, confirming that earnings lean heavily on a few peak windows (notably the July-August strength and the October Grand Prix) rather than steady year-round occupancy. The modest 55% figure reflects the regulatory cap on private nightly letting more than any shortage of visitors, so realistic underwriting should weight the licensed serviced-apartment route and the event calendar rather than assume continuous high occupancy.

Singapore is a city-state and a regional hub for business, finance and leisure travel, so short-stay demand is driven as much by corporate visitors, conference delegates and transit travellers passing through Changi as by classic tourists. Visitors come for Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Merlion waterfront, Universal Studios on Sentosa, and the food culture of Chinatown, Little India and the hawker centres. Because the country and the city are effectively the same market, almost all arrivals concentrate in this single urban area.

The critical caveat for hosts is regulatory: genuine Airbnb-style nightly letting of private homes is not legal here (see the rules section), so the active short-stay supply is dominated by licensed serviced apartments and a thin layer of non-compliant private listings. That structural constraint, not weak demand, is what keeps the active-listing count and headline occupancy modest relative to a tourist city of this scale.

Marina Bay is the showcase district for first-time visitors, surrounded by Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and the ArtScience Museum, and commands the highest rates. Orchard Road is the premier shopping spine with excellent MRT access, popular with longer corporate stays. Chinatown and Kampong Glam (with Haji Lane and the Sultan Mosque) and Little India deliver heritage shophouses and food at more moderate price points, while Bugis sits well for nightlife and central access.

Sentosa offers resort-style, family-oriented stays near Universal Studios and the beaches, skewing to higher-end leisure bookings. For compliant operators the practical reality is that most legal short-stay inventory sits in licensed serviced-apartment buildings within these central districts rather than in scattered private condos.
