Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is known as one of the biggest and most epic parties in the world, and this year, Brazilian pop star Anitta is making it even more unforgettable for her fans. The 31-year-old singer, often referred to as the Queen of Carnival, is offering two lucky guests the ultimate VIP experience—staying at her favorite penthouse in Copacabana and joining her atop the float at Bloco da Anitta, one of the most iconic street parties of the festival.

According to Airbnb, the U.S. ranks second in the number of nights booked in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival, just behind Brazil. With its vibrant atmosphere, world-famous samba schools, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences like this one, it’s no surprise travelers are flocking to this event.
Anitta took to social media to share the news of her partnership with Airbnb for this exclusive experience, then gave fans a tour of the stunning penthouse where guests would stay. Showing them that more than just a bucket-list-worthy Carnival adventure, it would also be a luxurious getaway in one of Rio’s most breathtaking locations.
VIP access to Bloco da Anitta
Carnival wouldn’t be complete without a legendary bloco, and Anitta’s street party is one of the hottest tickets in town. Every year, Bloco da Anitta kicks off at sunrise in downtown Rio, drawing thousands of fans eager to dance and sing along to her biggest hits. This time, Anitta’s guests won’t be lost in the crowd—they’ll be right up on the float with her, experiencing the celebration from the best seat in the house!

It's going to be amazing to host these special guests on my float at Bloco da Anitta!"
After an exciting time at the bloco, the guests are invited to an exclusive barbecue at Anitta’s home, where they’ll mingle with her closest friends and family. Guests will get exclusive access to see Anitta’s Carnival outfits, including one she wore during the 2025 warm-up marathon
