Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Elqui?

Gross bookings per Elqui listing averaged CLP 4,922,821 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Coquimbo average: CLP 4,759,009), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Elqui listing brought in CLP 1,480,000 in January, its best month, and CLP 451,000 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% 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 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CLP 1,660,000+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn CLP 1,110,000 or more, roughly CLP 420,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about CLP 689,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CLP 336,000 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Elqui Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Elqui Airbnb took in CLP 4,922,821 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 7,952,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 486,000 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 Elqui's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Elqui listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 67,300 adds about CLP 673,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 91,900 a night or more, against a median of CLP 67,300. 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 465,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about CLP 1,480,000, against CLP 451,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Elqui listings average 4.86 stars, and 48% 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 663,000 a month, against CLP 410,000 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Elqui
