How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sánchez?
Gross bookings per Sánchez listing averaged DOP 490,451 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Samaná average: DOP 1,179,420), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Sánchez listing brings in DOP 110,000 in December, its best month, and DOP 34,300 in October, its slowest. January runs within 4% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Sánchez's 29 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn DOP 241,000+ a month, about 7.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn DOP 82,000 or more, roughly DOP 49,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about DOP 32,600 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn DOP 18,100 or less, about 55% 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.

Sánchez Airbnb Data by Month

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sánchez Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sánchez Airbnb took in DOP 490,451 in the 12 months to October 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 DOP 1,232,700, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 71,400 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 Sánchez's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sánchez listings are booked on 23% or more of their nights, against 15% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of DOP 5,425 adds about DOP 54,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 11,100 a night or more, against a median of DOP 5,425. 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 45,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about DOP 110,000, against DOP 34,300 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sánchez listings average 4.78 stars, and 38% 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 102,700 a month, against DOP 40,900 for the average one.
