Bad Bunny’s truck is now an Airbnb, and here’s how you can stay there

Bad Bunny wants you to spend the night.

The Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar, who is bringing his sold-out El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo to Miami in April, is now an Airbnb Host, opening the (trailer) doors to his 53foot, custom-designed tour truck for three individual one-night stays.

On each of the nights in question — April 6-8 — a fan will be able to book the space for $91 a night (plus taxes and fees). The price is a nod to his recordbrea­king 9.1 billion streams on Spotify in 2021.

Guests will receive VIP tickets to the “Yonaguni” singer’s Miami tour, which runs April 1-3; a photo shoot with the big rig; access to a sound system so you can listen to his songs; and a tour of his favorite Miami stops.

Sadly, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, will not be there himself, but he will leave you a virtual greeting. He also says he’s pretty happy to play host.

“I’m hoping that by hosting guests in my truck I can give them a chance to feel like they’re on tour with me,” he said in a statement. “This truck has played such a big role in the concept of my tour and my last album that I want to share this unique experience with them.”

Designed by West Coast Customs, the customized truck appeared on his latest album cover and has been on stage during the opening of his sets. It includes a checkerboa­rd floor in the dining area, which also boasts a red mini-fridge, and a pink bedroom accented with flowers and a neon bunny on the wall.

The truck will be parked on a private lot, with 24hour security onsite, a spokespers­on said.

In honor of Bad Bunny opening up his rig, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to the Fundación Good Bunny, which works to improve the quality of life for Puerto Rican youth through the support of youth arts and sports initiative­s.

You can book this stay starting at 1 p.m. EST March 29 at airbnb.com/badbunny.
