Airbnb occupancy by bedroom count in Abu Dhabi
Occupancy is far more even across bedroom counts than ADR or revenue — larger units don't book meaningfully more or less often, they just command higher rates when they do.
| Bedrooms | Occupancy |
|---|---|
| Studio | 68% |
| 1 bedroom | 58% |
| 2 bedroom | 63% |
| 3 bedroom | 63% |
| 4 bedroom | 68% |
| 5 bedroom | 55% |
| 6+ bedrooms | 68% |
Occupancy by neighbourhood
Occupancy is more consistent across Abu Dhabi submarkets than ADR — corporate and relocation demand smooths out inland areas that see less tourist traffic.
What's driving Abu Dhabi's Airbnb occupancy in 2026
Abu Dhabi's active listing count grew 47% year over year (1,174 vs. 801 over the prior twelve months), yet occupancy has stayed within a normal seasonal range rather than sliding — a sign the extra supply is being absorbed by real demand, not just splitting the same bookings across more listings.
Occupancy is the metric where that absorption would show up first: if demand weren't keeping pace, a 47% jump in supply would drag the citywide average down. It hasn't.
