How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in La Serena?
Gross bookings per La Serena listing averaged CLP 4,183,926 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Coquimbo Region average: CLP 4,962,165), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average La Serena listing brings in CLP 1,470,000 in January, its best month, and CLP 408,000 in August, its slowest.

The three strongest months bring in 44% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CLP 1,390,000+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CLP 930,000 or more, roughly CLP 400,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CLP 534,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CLP 260,000 or less, about half 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.

La Serena Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in La Serena Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average La Serena Airbnb took in CLP 4,183,926 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 7,282,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 446,000 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 La Serena's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of La Serena listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 64,300 adds about CLP 643,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 85,000 a night or more, against a median of CLP 64,300. 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 396,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about CLP 1,470,000, against CLP 408,000 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. La Serena listings average 4.79 stars, and 37% 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 607,000 a month, against CLP 349,000 for the average one.

The average booked night in La Serena cost CLP 74,424 before fees. Half of listings charge between CLP 50,900 and CLP 85,000, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in La Serena?
In La Serena, 1% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about CLP 446,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
