Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ponta do Sol Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ponta do Sol Airbnb took in €35,955 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €2,010 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 €2,990 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €3,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €2,290 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,740 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 Ponta do Sol's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ponta do Sol listings are booked on 85% or more of their nights, against 71% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €130 adds about €1,280 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €180 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 €3,260 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €5,260, against €2,300 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ponta do Sol listings average 4.83 stars, and 46% 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 €4,420 a month, against €3,000 for the average one.
