In a typical year, the average Salalah listing brings in OMR 1,310 in August, its best month, and OMR 261 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% 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 5.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn OMR 1,370+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn OMR 741 or more, roughly OMR 400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about OMR 343 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn OMR 142 or less, about 41% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Salalah Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Salalah Airbnb took in OMR 3,061 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about OMR 6,610, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about OMR 420 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Salalah's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Salalah 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 OMR 41 adds about OMR 409 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge OMR 71 a night or more, against a median of OMR 41. 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 OMR 300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about OMR 1,310, against OMR 261 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Salalah listings average 4.64 stars, and 15% 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 OMR 550 a month, against OMR 260 for the average one.

FAQ
Salalah Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Salalah?
An active Salalah Airbnb grossed OMR 3,061 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 152 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in OMR 741 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Salalah?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Salalah listings earn between OMR 142 and OMR 741 in a typical month, and the top tenth OMR 1,370 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Salalah?
Listings in Salalah were booked on 31% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 33% for the national average. August is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Salalah?
The average booked night in Salalah cost OMR 55 before fees. Half of listings charge between OMR 27 and OMR 71, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Salalah?
None of the active Salalah listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Salalah?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Salalah Airbnb grossed OMR 3,061 in the 12 months to September 2026, 13% above the national average of OMR 2,707, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about OMR 420 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
