Profit

Is an Airbnb in Punta Ballena Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Punta Ballena Airbnb took in UYU 616,100 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about UYU 37,300 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 UYU 66,200 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the UYU 25,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about UYU 39,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about UYU 32,400 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 Punta Ballena's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Punta Ballena listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of UYU 7,140 adds about UYU 71,400 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge UYU 11,000 a night or more, against a median of UYU 7,140. 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 UYU 59,100 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about UYU 229,000, against UYU 35,300 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Punta Ballena listings average 4.83 stars, and 39% 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 UYU 90,300 a month, against UYU 51,300 for the average one.
