How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bora Bora?
Gross bookings per Bora Bora listing averaged CFPF 2,692,955 over the 12 months to September 2026 (French Polynesia average: CFPF 2,451,219), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Bora Bora listing brought in CFPF 537,000 in August, its best month, and CFPF 138,000 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 2.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CFPF 754,000+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CFPF 398,000 or more, roughly CFPF 130,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CFPF 267,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CFPF 168,000 or less, about two-thirds 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bora Bora Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bora Bora Airbnb took in CFPF 2,692,955 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CFPF 156,000 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 CFPF 234,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CFPF 178,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CFPF 170,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CFPF 135,000 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.

Estimate Your Own Bora Bora Airbnb Profit
The estimate starts from Bora Bora's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.
To work out the profit on one Bora Bora home, with its price, its mortgage or rent and your own costs, use the Airbnb income calculator. It starts from the comparable listings around the address.
How Bora Bora's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bora Bora listings are booked on 66% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CFPF 15,700 adds about CFPF 157,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CFPF 23,300 a night or more, against a median of CFPF 15,700. 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 CFPF 251,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about CFPF 537,000, against CFPF 138,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bora Bora listings average 4.75 stars, and 44% 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 CFPF 334,000 a month, against CFPF 224,000 for the average one.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Bora Bora?
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 Bora Bora it averaged CFPF 10,700 over the past year, from about CFPF 4,440 in January to about CFPF 17,300 in August.
Per open night, by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CFPF 21,300+ per open night, about 2.4 times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CFPF 11,900 or more, about CFPF 3,000 a night above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CFPF 8,880 per open night.
