How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Saubara?
Gross bookings per Saubara listing averaged R$18,023 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Bahia average: R$39,696), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Saubara listing brings in R$4,880 in January, its best month, and R$1,060 in May, its slowest. June runs within 5% of May, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 42% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Saubara's 28 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R$7,490+ a month, about 6.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R$3,200 or more, roughly R$2,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about R$1,170 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R$646 or less, about 55% of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Saubara Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Saubara Airbnb took in R$18,023 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about R$49,200, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R$2,960 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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.

How Saubara's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Saubara listings are booked on 26% or more of their nights, against 14% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R$370 adds about R$3,710 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R$495 a night or more, against a median of R$370. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about R$1,710 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about R$4,880, against R$1,060 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Saubara listings average 4.71 stars, and 18% 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 R$4,100 a month, against R$1,500 for the average one.
