Inside an Avatar-themed Airbnb in Miami: what you can borrow for your property

Touring the property

Shared spaces

• A large living room for families, with scenes from the movie on the walls.
• Game room with a pool table, basketball, ping pong and foosball.
• A big kitchen with a large fridge and a coffee station with a coffee maker and mugs.
• Dining area for large groups, decorated like Pandora's trees.
• A private cinema hidden behind a door, with big sofas and popcorn and candy machines. The obvious plan: watch Avatar as a family.
• Laundry with a washer and dryer, ideal for stays longer than five days.

The backyard

A pool with a hot tub, loungers to enjoy the Miami sun and a view of a lake with ducks. A space to unwind that, with kids around, also calls for clear safety rules.

Five bedrooms, five experiences

1. Avatar room: double bed, lighting in the movie's colors, a TV and a bathroom with 3D decor you can touch.
2. Master suite: "out of this world" decor from ceiling to walls, a very spacious bed, a full-length mirror, a sofa with a view, a reading nook and plants. Bathroom with a jetted tub and double sinks.
3. Jellyfish room: two beds, special lighting, a lamp that charges your phone and a bathroom with wallpaper, a tub and double sinks.
4. Bunk room: sleeps up to five, with spots to charge phones and murals of the main characters.
5. Floating mountains room: king bed, walk-in closet and a view of Pandora's iconic floating mountains.

Why a themed Airbnb works

• You stop competing on price. When your property has an identity, guests don't compare it with the rest: they pick it.
• Free marketing. Guests photograph and share unique spaces on social media, and every post advertises your listing.
• It's memorable and repeatable. Immersive experiences create guests who come back and recommend you.
• It attracts families and groups, who stay more nights and value spaces like the game room and the cinema.

8 details you can borrow even if your Airbnb isn't themed

1. A coffee station with a coffee maker, mugs, coffee and tea.
2. Dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash in every bathroom. Cecia calls them "very important for guests".
3. A full-length mirror in each main bedroom.
4. Chargers or charging lamps next to every bed.
5. A washer and dryer if you host stays of five nights or more.
6. An Instagrammable corner: a mural, a textured wall or a standout piece.
7. Warm, ambient lighting, not just the ceiling light.
8. An entertainment space (games, a big TV, a movie area) if your guests are families or groups.

Before you invest in a theme

A theme this ambitious takes investment. Before deciding:

• Make sure your market has demand from families or large groups.
• Estimate how much you could raise your rate versus non-themed comparables.
• Invest first in the pieces with the most impact: the bed, the sofa and the space guests see when they walk in.
