Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cancún?
Gross bookings per Cancún listing averaged MX$231,594 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Quintana Roo average: MX$246,705), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Cancún listing brings in MX$35,400 in December, its best month, and MX$19,700 in September, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: December leads March by 1%, and September sits just 5% below October, so either pair can swap places 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 5.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$67,300+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$36,100 or more, roughly MX$20,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$16,500 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$6,770 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.

Cancún Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cancún Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cancún Airbnb took in MX$231,594 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$13,500 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 MX$30,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$15,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$14,800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$11,700 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.

Estimate Your Own Cancún Airbnb Profit
The estimate starts from Cancún's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.
To work out the profit on one Cancún home, with its price, its mortgage or rent and your own costs, use the Airbnb profit calculator. It starts from the comparable listings around the address.
How Cancún's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cancún listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,345 adds about MX$13,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,380 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,345. 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$21,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$35,400, against MX$19,700 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cancún listings average 4.67 stars, and 23% 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$42,300 a month, against MX$19,300 for the average one.

Monthly average MX$2,380 MX$1,850
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, MX$2,130. The 12-month ADR of MX$2,277 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 Cancún?
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 Cancún it averaged MX$848 over the past year, from about MX$655 in a typical September to about MX$1,140 in a typical December.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$1,860+ per open night, about four times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$998 or more, about MX$530 a night above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$472 per open night.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$232 or less, about half of the median.
