Profit
Is an Airbnb in Negril Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Negril Airbnb took in JMD 2,249,710 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JMD 132,000 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 JMD 257,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the JMD 125,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about JMD 142,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about JMD 114,000 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 Negril's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Negril listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of JMD 18,400 adds about JMD 184,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge JMD 29,500 a night or more, against a median of JMD 18,400. 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 JMD 212,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about JMD 408,000, against JMD 231,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Negril listings average 4.73 stars, and 28% 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 JMD 362,000 a month, against JMD 187,000 for the average one.
