Profit
Is an Airbnb in Iquique Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Iquique Airbnb took in CLP 4,698,736 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 8,176,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 497,000 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 Iquique's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Iquique listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 58,300 adds about CLP 583,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 76,900 a night or more, against a median of CLP 58,300. 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 449,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about CLP 1,160,000, against CLP 497,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Iquique listings average 4.79 stars, and 41% 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 681,000 a month, against CLP 392,000 for the average one.
