Profit
Is an Airbnb in La Esmeralda Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average La Esmeralda Airbnb took in UYU 107,456 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about UYU 11,900 a month after running costs.
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 La Esmeralda's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of La Esmeralda listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 18% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of UYU 2,495 adds about UYU 25,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge UYU 3,050 a night or more, against a median of UYU 2,495. 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 10,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about UYU 50,500, against UYU 5,830 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. La Esmeralda listings average 4.66 stars, and 16% 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 15,800 a month, against UYU 9,000 for the average one.
