What a villa in Tamarin actually earns on Airbnb

BetterBnb · Notes for owners · September 2026

Ask five people what a villa earns on Airbnb in Mauritius and you will get five confident answers, none of them from a statement. Here is one from a statement.

One villa, almost three years

A three-bedroom villa with a pool on the west coast, managed since late 2023, has paid its owner more than €140,000, an average of about €4,100 a month, roughly Rs 222,000. That figure is after platform commission and after management fees: it is what reached the owner, not what guests paid.

For scale, a villa like this one would rent long term for around Rs 110,000 a month. Short term it has paid about twice that, and the owner still blocks dates and stays there with family several times a year.

The number is an average, and that matters

December in Tamarin does not pay like June. High season carries the year: the months from October to January can bring in double a winter month, which is why a calendar priced flat across the year quietly gives its best weeks away. When we rebuilt the pricing on one property without changing anything else, revenue rose 71% over the following year. Same house, same photos, different calendar.

What moves the number most

In our experience, in order: pricing that follows the seasons, photos that show the property honestly at its best, reviews that accumulate because stays go smoothly, and response speed. Location sets the ceiling; the four above decide how close a listing gets to it.

Every property is different, and these are results, not promises. A villa further from the coast, or priced once and forgotten, can earn far less than these figures.
