Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Higüey?
Gross bookings per Higüey listing averaged DOP 1,423,715 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Dominican Republic average: DOP 773,443), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Higüey listing brings in DOP 226,000 in March, its best month, and DOP 118,000 in September, its slowest. February runs within 1% of March, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 5.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn DOP 397,000+ a month, about 4.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn DOP 178,000 or more, roughly DOP 96,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about DOP 82,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn DOP 34,700 or less, about 42% 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.

Higüey 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.
March 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 Higüey listing earns about DOP 82,000 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 Higüey Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Higüey Airbnb took in DOP 1,423,715 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 82,000 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 180,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the DOP 98,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about DOP 90,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about DOP 71,000 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 Higüey's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Higüey 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 DOP 7,135 adds about DOP 71,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 11,800 a night or more, against a median of DOP 7,135. 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 133,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about DOP 226,000, against DOP 118,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Higüey listings average 4.75 stars, and 26% 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 258,000 a month, against DOP 119,000 for the average one.
