Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Punta Cana?
Gross bookings per Punta Cana listing averaged DOP 749,226 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Dominican Republic average: DOP 773,443), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Punta Cana listing brought in DOP 142,000 in July, its best month, and DOP 75,500 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn DOP 215,000+ a month, about 3.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn DOP 120,000 or more, roughly DOP 56,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about DOP 63,600 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn DOP 30,000 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.

Punta Cana 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.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Punta Cana listing earns about DOP 63,600 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Punta Cana Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Punta Cana Airbnb took in DOP 749,226 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 42,500 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about DOP 81,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the DOP 58,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about DOP 47,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about DOP 36,700 a month.
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 Punta Cana's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Punta Cana listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of DOP 6,135 adds about DOP 61,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 9,205 a night or more, against a median of DOP 6,135. 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 DOP 69,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about DOP 142,000, against DOP 75,500 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Punta Cana listings average 4.74 stars, and 28% 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 DOP 117,700 a month, against DOP 62,400 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Punta Cana
None of the 2,446 active listings in Punta Cana display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in Punta Cana
The top-grossing listing, a two-bedroom unit at DOP 58,452 a night (about four times the DOP 14,900 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Leaving it out, the top earner in Punta Cana, a seven-bedroom home, took in DOP 18,600,000 over the past year, about 25 times the city's average of DOP 749,000. All six listings below have five or more bedrooms, so the top of this market belongs to large homes.
