Profit
Is an Airbnb in Auroville Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Auroville Airbnb took in ₹254,850 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₹27,500 a month after running costs.
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 Auroville's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Auroville listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹2,890 adds about ₹28,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹5,600 a night or more, against a median of ₹2,890. 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 ₹25,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about ₹48,800, against ₹25,200 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Auroville listings average 4.72 stars, and 22% 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 ₹36,700 a month, against ₹21,200 for the average one.
