Across Samaná's 25 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 16,100,000+ a month, about 4.3 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 6,690,000 or more, roughly COP 2,900,000 a month above the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Samaná Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Samaná Airbnb took in COP 22,766,743 in the 12 months to April 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about COP 40,540,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,490,000 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 Samaná's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Samaná listings are booked on 18% or more of their nights, against 11% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 222,000 adds about COP 2,220,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 330,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 222,000. 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 COP 2,280,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about COP 9,490,000, against COP 1,600,000 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 COP 3,380,000 a month, against COP 1,900,000 for the average one.
