In a typical year, the average Porto Santo listing brings in €7,870 in August, its best month, and €1,130 in December, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 55% 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 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Porto Santo Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Porto Santo Airbnb took in €21,999 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,270 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 €2,350 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,660 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,410 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,100 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 Porto Santo's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Porto Santo listings are booked on 57% 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 €225 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 €2,030 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €7,870, against €1,130 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Porto Santo listings average 4.73 stars, and 20% 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 €3,360 a month, against €1,830 for the average one.
