Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ciales Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ciales Airbnb took in $23,979 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,460 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 $4,360 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Ciales's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ciales listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $145 adds about $1,430 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $265 a night or more, against a median of $145. 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 $2,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about $3,740, against $1,880 in November, 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 $5,890 a month, against $2,000 for the average one.
