Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Ixtapa?

Gross bookings per Ixtapa listing averaged MX$59,366 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Jalisco average: MX$235,286), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Ixtapa listing brings in MX$14,600 in December, its best month, and MX$6,970 in September, its slowest. October runs within 2% of September, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 5.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$25,200+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$16,100 or more, roughly MX$8,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about MX$8,010 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$3,130 or less, about 39% 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.

December earns about twice what September does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Ixtapa Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ixtapa Airbnb took in MX$59,366 in the 12 months to September 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 MX$119,330, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$7,240 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 Ixtapa's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ixtapa listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,100 adds about MX$11,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,445 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,100. 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 MX$5,540 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$14,600, against MX$6,970 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Ixtapa listings average 4.78 stars, and 19% 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 MX$9,940 a month, against MX$4,950 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Ixtapa

None of the 77 active listings in Ixtapa 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 Ixtapa.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Ixtapa?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Ixtapa?

The average booked night in Ixtapa cost MX$1,229 before fees. Half of listings charge between MX$790 and MX$1,445, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Ixtapa?

None of the active Ixtapa listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Ixtapa?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ixtapa Airbnb grossed MX$59,366 in the 12 months to September 2026, 75% below the Jalisco average of MX$235,286, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about MX$7,240 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
