Profit
Is an Airbnb in Arco da Calheta Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Arco da Calheta Airbnb took in €43,578 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €2,380 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 €4,030 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €4,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €2,730 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €2,050 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.

- Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about €8,740, against €3,350 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Arco da Calheta listings average 4.82 stars, and 41% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
