Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Punta Del Este?

Gross bookings per Punta Del Este listing averaged UYU 500,825 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maldonado average: UYU 484,852), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Punta Del Este listing brings in UYU 205,000 in January, its best month, and UYU 30,700 in August, its slowest. September runs within 2% of August, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 52% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn UYU 142,000+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn UYU 90,300 or more, roughly UYU 38,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about UYU 52,200 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn UYU 27,700 or less, about half 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.

January earns about 6.7 times what August does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Punta Del Este Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Punta Del Este Airbnb took in UYU 500,825 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about UYU 30,800 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 53,700 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the UYU 20,600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about UYU 32,500 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about UYU 26,800 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 Del Este's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Punta Del Este listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of UYU 6,250 adds about UYU 62,500 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge UYU 9,520 a night or more, against a median of UYU 6,250. 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 48,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about UYU 205,000, against UYU 30,700 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Punta Del Este listings average 4.79 stars, and 36% 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 72,200 a month, against UYU 41,700 for the average one.
