Gross bookings per El Ejido listing averaged €9,087 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Andalusia average: €21,021), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average El Ejido listing brings in €2,810 in August, its best month, and €630 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average El Ejido Airbnb took in €9,087 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €520 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 €850 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €560 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €560 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €450 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.

Top earners
The top-grossing Airbnb in El Ejido, a five-bedroom home, took in €25,400 over the past year, about 2.8 times the city's average of €9,090. One of the top-grossing listings, a two-bedroom unit at €689 a night (about 3.5 times the €200 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Three of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
