Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in São Vicente?

Gross bookings per São Vicente listing averaged €27,218 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Madeira average: €35,544), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average São Vicente listing brings in €4,500 in August, its best month, and €1,790 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 2.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €4,680+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €3,040 or more, roughly €950 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €2,090 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €1,290 or less, about 62% 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 2.5 times what January does

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical São Vicente listing earns about €2,090 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in São Vicente Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average São Vicente Airbnb took in €27,218 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,490 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 €2,190 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the €2,490 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,700 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,290 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 São Vicente's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of São Vicente listings are booked on 83% or more of their nights, against 66% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €105 adds about €1,060 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €150 a night or more, against a median of €105. 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 €2,470 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €4,500, against €1,790 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. São Vicente listings average 4.74 stars, and 32% 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 €3,310 a month, against €2,270 for the average one.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €141. The 12-month ADR of €159 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in São Vicente?

How much can I make on Airbnb in São Vicente?

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in São Vicente?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in São Vicente?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in São Vicente?

In São Vicente, 96% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in São Vicente?

Yes, when it's run well. The average São Vicente Airbnb grossed €27,218 in the 12 months to September 2026, 23% below the Madeira average of €35,544. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €17,928 a year (about €1,490 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about €2,190 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
