How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Nuku Hiva?
Gross bookings per Nuku Hiva listing averaged €7,626 over the 12 months to August 2026 (French Polynesia average: €28,810), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Nuku Hiva listing brings in €1,440 in October, its best month, and €693 in February, its slowest.

Across Nuku Hiva's 23 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €2,310+ a month, about 2.5 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Nuku Hiva Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nuku Hiva Airbnb took in €7,626 in the 12 months to August 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €470 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 €830 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €480 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €410 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 Nuku Hiva's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Nuku Hiva listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €92 adds about €924 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €130 a night or more, against a median of €92. 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 €740 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about €1,440, against €693 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Nuku Hiva listings average 4.67 stars, and 17% 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 €1,110 a month, against €640 for the average one.
