Profit
Is an Airbnb in Nosy Be Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nosy Be Airbnb took in Ar 77,309,680 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Ar 4,790,000 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 Ar 11,460,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the Ar 1,600,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about Ar 4,920,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about Ar 4,150,000 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.
