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.
