Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Punaauia?

Gross bookings per Punaauia listing averaged CFPF 2,261,471 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Windward Islands average: CFPF 2,580,512), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Punaauia listing brought in CFPF 770,000 in October, its best month, and CFPF 209,000 in March, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 42% 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 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CFPF 761,000+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn CFPF 550,000 or more, roughly CFPF 250,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about CFPF 296,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CFPF 201,000 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 Punaauia Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Punaauia Airbnb took in CFPF 2,261,471 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CFPF 126,000 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 236,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the CFPF 186,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CFPF 141,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CFPF 108,000 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 Punaauia's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Punaauia listings are booked on 71% or more of their nights, against 56% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CFPF 15,100 adds about CFPF 151,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CFPF 21,800 a night or more, against a median of CFPF 15,100. 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 208,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about CFPF 770,000, against CFPF 209,000 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Punaauia listings average 4.90 stars, and 55% 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 350,000 a month, against CFPF 188,000 for the average one.
