Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Arica?
Gross bookings per Arica listing averaged CLP 3,004,965 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Chile average: CLP 6,019,314), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Arica listing brings in CLP 674,000 in January, its best month, and CLP 393,000 in April, its slowest. October runs within 4% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 5.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CLP 1,170,000+ a month, about 3.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CLP 728,000 or more, roughly CLP 380,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CLP 349,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CLP 141,000 or less, about 40% 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 Arica Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Arica Airbnb took in CLP 3,004,965 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 CLP 6,271,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 386,000 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 Arica's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Arica listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 46,300 adds about CLP 463,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 60,700 a night or more, against a median of CLP 46,300. 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 CLP 286,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about CLP 674,000, against CLP 393,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Arica listings average 4.74 stars, and 24% 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 CLP 523,000 a month, against CLP 250,000 for the average one.

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Arica
