Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Negril?

Gross bookings per Negril listing averaged JMD 2,249,710 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Jamaica average: JMD 2,288,498), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Negril listing brings in JMD 408,000 in February, its best month, and JMD 231,000 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn JMD 702,000+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn JMD 389,000 or more, roughly JMD 190,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about JMD 201,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn JMD 82,500 or less, about 41% 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.

February earns about 1.8 times what September does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, JMD 325,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

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.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Negril?

Negril listings were booked on 32% of the nights they were open over the past year, 2 percentage points below the Jamaica average (34%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 49% in February and falls to 28% in September.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 4.5 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 72%+ of open nights, 41 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 53% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 31% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 16% or less, under two nights a week.

February is usually the busiest month in Negril, September the quietest

The 12-month rate of 32% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Negril?

The average nightly rate in Negril, known as ADR (average daily rate), was JMD 28,500 over the past year, about the same as the Jamaica average (JMD 28,800). Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates barely change through the year, staying between about JMD 25,300 and JMD 26,900.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.4 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge JMD 45,300+ a night, about 2.5 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge JMD 29,500 or more, about JMD 11,000 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about JMD 18,400 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge JMD 13,200 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

Average nightly rate by month in Negril

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, JMD 26,300. The 12-month ADR of JMD 28,500 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Negril?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Negril it averaged JMD 9,420 over the past year, from about JMD 7,700 in a typical September to about JMD 14,600 in a typical February.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn JMD 19,800+ per open night, about 3.3 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn JMD 10,800 or more, about JMD 4,900 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about JMD 5,930 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn JMD 3,300 or less, about 56% of the median.

February RevPAR is about 1.9 times September's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Negril

None of the 461 active listings in Negril display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Negril.
