Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bora-Bora?
Gross bookings per Bora-Bora listing averaged €41,576 over the 12 months to September 2026 (French Polynesia average: €26,977), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bora-Bora listing brings in €5,850 in August, its best month, and €2,450 in February, its slowest. July runs within 3% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €10,400+ a month, about 3.9 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn €5,690 or more, roughly €3,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about €2,700 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €1,490 or less, about 55% 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.

The typical Bora-Bora listing earns about €2,700 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The short-term rental calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bora-Bora Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bora-Bora Airbnb took in €41,576 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €2,390 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 €5,090 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €2,420 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €2,590 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €2,060 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 Bora-Bora's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bora-Bora listings are booked on 69% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €180 adds about €1,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €335 a night or more, against a median of €180. 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 €3,920 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €5,850, against €2,450 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bora-Bora listings average 4.81 stars, and 41% 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 €7,300 a month, against €3,460 for the average one.

That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in €5,690 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Bora-Bora?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Bora-Bora listings earn between €1,490 and €5,690 in a typical month, and the top tenth €10,400 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Bora-Bora?
Listings in Bora-Bora were booked on 46% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 45% for the French Polynesia average. August is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Bora-Bora?
The average booked night in Bora-Bora cost €303 before fees. Half of listings charge between €125 and €335, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Bora-Bora?
All active Bora-Bora listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Bora-Bora?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bora-Bora Airbnb grossed €41,576 in the 12 months to September 2026, 54% above the French Polynesia average of €26,977. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €28,676 a year (about €2,390 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about €5,090 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
