How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cenang Beach?
Gross bookings per Cenang Beach listing averaged RM 19,073 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Kedah average: RM 35,715), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Cenang Beach listing brings in RM 3,410 in May, its best month, and RM 1,820 in November, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: May leads July by 4%, and November sits just 1% below October, so either pair can swap places in a given year. 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 5.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn RM 7,120+ a month, about 4.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn RM 4,010 or more, roughly RM 2,400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about RM 1,590 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn RM 684 or less, about 43% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cenang Beach Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cenang Beach Airbnb took in RM 19,073 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about RM 48,030, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 2,920 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Cenang Beach's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cenang Beach listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 220 adds about RM 2,190 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 385 a night or more, against a median of RM 220. 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 RM 1,850 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about RM 3,410, against RM 1,820 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cenang Beach listings average 4.57 stars, and 11% 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 RM 4,000 a month, against RM 1,590 for the average one.
