Profit
Is an Airbnb in Rio Maior Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Rio Maior Airbnb took in €11,765 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €720 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 €1,560 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 Rio Maior's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Rio Maior listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €110 adds about €1,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €155 a night or more, against a median of €110. 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 €1,180 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about €5,210, against €467 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 €2,120 a month, against €980 for the average one.
