Profit
Is an Airbnb in Xcalak Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Xcalak Airbnb took in MX$132,179 in the 12 months to November 2025, 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$262,600, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$16,100 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 Xcalak's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Xcalak listings are booked on 39% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$2,110 adds about MX$21,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,710 a night or more, against a median of MX$2,110. 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$13,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about MX$29,500, against MX$6,430 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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$21,900 a month, against MX$11,000 for the average one.
