Xtay

What Xtay does

Xtay (legal name Xtay Tecnologia S/A) is a Brazilian privately-held flexible-stay platform that operates fully furnished apartments for stays ranging from one night to twelve months. The company manages a portfolio of named properties across at least nine Brazilian cities, including flagship units in São Paulo (Xtay Vila Madalena, Ip Alto do Ipiranga), Curitiba (Linked Batel Curitiba, Easy Life Campus PUC), Florianópolis (Xtay Soho, Xtay Oslo, Xtay Fuji), Porto Alegre (Xtay Cais Rooftop), and João Pessoa (Simple Smart by Xtay), with additional presence in Guarulhos, Balneário Camboriú, Palhoça and Rio de Janeiro. Underlying the operation is a proprietary technology stack: a native mobile app on iOS and Android for booking, digital check-in/check-out, and 24/7 WhatsApp-based remote support; a unified property management system that syncs inventory, calendar and pricing across Booking.com, Airbnb, Hoteis.com and Expedia; IoT-enabled smart locks (and facial recognition at select properties) that eliminate the front desk; and an investor/owner-facing portal with automated financial reporting.

Xtay generates revenue through three primary streams: (i) nightly short-term stays (typically R$150–R$280 per night); (ii) all-inclusive monthly subscription plans (R$2,700–R$7,100 per month) that bundle rent, utilities, internet, condo fees, IPTU and cleaning under a digitally signed contract — the company's signature recurring revenue; and (iii) managed services for third-party property owners and traditional hoteliers, which take a management fee/commission on rental revenue generated through the Xtay platform and OTA distribution. The customer base spans leisure travelers, students near universities (notably PUCPR), digital nomads and remote workers, corporate and group clients (via dedicated B2B sales motions for "Reservas em Grupo" and "Cotação para Empresas"), healthcare visitors, and property owners/hoteliers using Xtay as an outsourced operator. Distribution is hybrid: direct via xtay.com.br and the mobile apps, complemented by major OTAs and a 2025 brand ambassadorship with Brazilian actor Márcio Garcia. The company is headquartered in São Paulo and reports a headcount of 11–50 employees.

Revenue model

1. Short-Term Rental (Diária): Xtay charges guests per-night rates for stays ranging from 1 night to 29 nights. Nightly pricing varies by city, season, and property type. Payments are processed at booking via credit card, with rates displayed inclusive of all fees and taxes upfront.
2. Monthly Subscription Plans (Planos Mensais): Xtay offers all-inclusive monthly subscription plans where guests pay a fixed monthly fee covering rent, condo fees, IPTU (property tax), utilities (water, electricity, gas), internet, and regular cleaning. Duration ranges from 1 to 12 months with digital contract signing. This is the company's signature recurring revenue stream.
3. Property Management for Owners: Xtay manages properties on behalf of owners, handling listing, pricing, guest vetting, cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication. Xtay takes a management fee/commission from rental revenues generated. Property owners receive automated financial reports and retain passive income without day-to-day operational involvement.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, core and minor.

• Márcio GarciaflagshipGTM or Marketing Partner · 1 January 2025Brazilian actor Márcio Garcia serves as Xtay's brand ambassador in a partnership that began organically when his son Pedro used Xtay during a university relocation in 2025. The partnership is built on shared values of hospitality and simplifying urban life. Márcio shares his Xtay living experience through his personal social media (Instagram: @oficialmarciogarcia), providing Xtay access to his large Brazilian consumer audience as a trusted voice. Márcio is also featured in Xtay's blog and marketing materials.
• Booking.comcoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorXtay distributes its property inventory through Booking.com as a channel partner. Guests leave reviews on Booking.com (e.g., for Oslo Xtay Floripa and other properties), and Xtay manages availability and pricing through its unified platform that connects to Booking.com's distribution network. This is a core revenue channel for capturing international and domestic travelers already using the OTA.
• AirbnbcoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorXtay lists properties on Airbnb as part of its multi-channel distribution strategy. Customer testimonials reference Airbnb bookings, confirming active integration. Xtay's property management platform syncs calendar and pricing with Airbnb, ensuring inventory consistency across platforms.
• Hoteis.comminorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorXtay connects with Hoteis.com as one of its distribution channels, listed on the property owner benefits page as a platform where Xtay lists and manages property availability.
• ExpediaminorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorXtay properties are listed on Expedia, as confirmed by a customer testimonial from a guest who booked via Expedia. This extends Xtay's reach to the Expedia Group traveler base including domestic and international business and leisure travelers.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Global marketplace for short-term rentals. Xtay uses Airbnb as a distribution channel and competes with it for hosts (via its property-management offering) and indirectly for guests in Brazil. Comparable product/marketplace mechanics at vastly larger scale.
• Sonder: Global flexible-stay / aparthotel operator offering tech-enabled, design-forward apartments for short and extended stays across dozens of cities. Comparable business model (no front desk, app-driven, kitchen-equipped units, monthly option) and aspirational benchmark for Xtay's positioning, though at much larger scale and primarily outside Brazil.
• Vrbo: Expedia-owned vacation-rental marketplace focused on whole-home short stays in leisure destinations. Comparable to the leisure short-stay portion of Xtay's offering (e.g., Florianópolis, Balneário Camboriú inventory) and a common distribution / competitive intersection.
• Booking.com: Global OTA and lodging marketplace. Xtay lists inventory on Booking.com and competes with its alternative-accommodation vertical for both supply and demand. Highly comparable distribution and demand-generation dynamics for Brazilian travelers.

Direct peers

• Yuca: Brazilian "moradia para universitários e jovens profissionais" platform offering fully furnished medium-term apartments in São Paulo. Directly comparable to Xtay on monthly subscription pricing, furnished model and student/young-professional segment, albeit with a tighter demographic focus.
• Bossa (incorporadora e gestora): Brazilian developer + branded flexible-stay operator that builds and manages furnished apartment buildings for short and monthly stays. Highly comparable to Xtay on product (furnished studios, monthly subscription), target customer (digital nomads, students, business travelers) and Brazilian geographies.
• Housi: Brazilian flexible-stay / moradia por assinatura brand operating furnished apartments on monthly subscription terms in multiple Brazilian cities. Closest direct peer: similar geography, similar pricing model (all-inclusive monthly), similar guest segments, but with a different capital structure and a partnership with local developer Moura Dubeux.

Emerging players

• Hostaway: Cloud-based PMS and channel manager for vacation-rental managers. Directly comparable to the operational backbone Xtay runs (multi-channel calendar sync, automated owner reporting, guest communication) and a competitor / partner candidate for property owners Xtay is trying to sign up.
• Guesty: Property-management software platform for short-term rental operators and hosts. Comparable to the tech stack behind Xtay (PMS, multi-channel distribution, automation, owner reporting) — relevant both as a potential alternative technology for property owners and as a competitor in the B2B "Xtay for Hotels and Flats" digitization offering.
• Nomad Homes: Booking platform for medium-term furnished rentals targeting remote workers and digital nomads across Latin America and beyond. Closely overlaps with Xtay's primary segment (digital nomads / remote workers, monthly stays) at the demand side and poses a complementary or competitive cross-border sourcing channel for guests.
