Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Ribeira Grande?

Gross bookings per Ribeira Grande listing averaged €16,098 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Azores average: €18,487), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Ribeira Grande listing brings in €5,460 in August, its best month, and €838 in December, its slowest. October runs within 2% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 47% 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 €6,330+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €4,030 or more, roughly €1,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €2,240 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €1,480 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 earns about 6.5 times what December does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €2,630. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Ribeira Grande Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

October 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in July 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Ribeira Grande Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ribeira Grande Airbnb took in €16,098 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €890 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 €1,610 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,450 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,010 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €770 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 Ribeira Grande's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ribeira Grande listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 41% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €130 adds about €1,320 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €200 a night or more, against a median of €130. 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 €1,460 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €5,460, against €838 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Ribeira Grande listings average 4.80 stars, and 40% 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 €2,420 a month, against €1,340 for the average one.
