Profit

Is an Airbnb in La Cala de Mijas Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average La Cala de Mijas Airbnb took in €20,181 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,130 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about €1,770 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,780 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,280 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €980 a month.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of La Cala de Mijas listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €170 adds about €1,680 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €255 a night or more, against a median of €170.

For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about €1,840 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about €6,240, against €817 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. La Cala de Mijas listings average 4.80 stars, and 25% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about €2,600 a month, against €1,680 for the average one.
