Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Palmira?

Gross bookings per Palmira listing averaged COP 19,678,792 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Valle del Cauca average: COP 15,306,817), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Palmira listing brings in COP 4,030,000 in December, its best month, and COP 2,190,000 in February, its slowest. July runs within 4% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 5.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 6,440,000+ a month, about 4.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 2,950,000 or more, roughly COP 1,600,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about COP 1,350,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 532,000 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.

December earns about 1.8 times what February does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 2,900,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

The typical Palmira listing earns about COP 1,350,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Palmira Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Palmira Airbnb took in COP 19,678,792 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 COP 43,100,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,600,000 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 Palmira's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Palmira listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 137,000 adds about COP 1,370,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 257,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 137,000. 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 1,870,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about COP 4,030,000, against COP 2,190,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Palmira listings average 4.81 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 COP 3,590,000 a month, against COP 1,640,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Palmira?

Palmira listings were booked on 29% of the nights they were open over the past year, 2 percentage points below the Valle del Cauca average (31%) and 4 points below the Colombia average (33%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 43% in December and falls to 26% in April.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 6 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 68%+ of open nights, 43 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 45% or more, roughly three nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 25% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 11% or less, less than one night a week.

December is usually the busiest month in Palmira, April the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 29% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Palmira?

The average nightly rate in Palmira, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 336,168 over the past year, about 46% above the Valle del Cauca average of COP 230,000 and about the same as the Colombia average (COP 353,000). Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in August and December at about COP 325,000 and bottom out in February at about COP 294,000.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 10 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge COP 955,000+ a night, about 6.9 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge COP 257,000 or more, about COP 120,000 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about COP 137,000 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge COP 95,300 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

December rates run 11% above February's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 314,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 336,168 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Palmira?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Palmira it averaged COP 84,000 over the past year, from about COP 78,100 in a typical February to about COP 130,000 in a typical December.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 193,000+ per open night, about 4.5 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 84,000 or more, about COP 41,000 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about COP 43,200 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 22,600 or less, about half of the median.

December RevPAR is about 1.7 times February's

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Palmira?

Nearly all active Palmira listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Palmira?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Palmira Airbnb grossed COP 19,678,792 in the 12 months to September 2026, 29% above the Valle del Cauca average of COP 15,306,817, counting listings open only part of the year. 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 COP 2,600,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
