Revenue

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.

August earned about four times what January did

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.

Location, size and how a home is run move its income far more than a city average shows. For a range on one Bora Bora address, run it through the Airbnb profit calculator.

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.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Bora Bora?

Bora Bora listings were booked on 46% of the nights they were open over the past year, in line with the French Polynesia average. Occupancy swings from 28% in January to 73% in August.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 2.4 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 81%+ of open nights, 30 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 66% or more, roughly five nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 51% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 34% or less, under three nights a week.

The 12-month rate of 46% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Bora Bora?

The average nightly rate in Bora Bora, known as ADR (average daily rate), was CFPF 24,394 over the past year, about 17% above the French Polynesia average of CFPF 20,800. Averaged month by month, rates peak in May at about CFPF 27,900 and bottom out in February and August at about CFPF 25,100.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.8 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge CFPF 56,800+ a night, about 3.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge CFPF 23,300 or more, about CFPF 7,600 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about CFPF 15,700 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge CFPF 11,700 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

May rates ran 11% above August's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2025 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, CFPF 25,800. The 12-month ADR of CFPF 24,394 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

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.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CFPF 6,430 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

Seasonality

Best and Worst Months for Airbnb in Bora Bora

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Bora Bora

98% of the 50 active listings in Bora Bora display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what local rules allow: it can't show whether new permits are still issued, or whether limits on nights, zones or property types apply.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Bora Bora.

Who Are the Airbnb Hosts in Bora Bora?

Only 4% of Bora Bora listings are classed as professionally managed. 58% of listings are run by Superhosts, so a strong review record is the norm here rather than an edge. Airbnb's Simplified Pricing, where the host pays the whole service fee and guests see one price with no separate Airbnb charge, covers 76% of listings.
