Gross bookings per Noumea listing averaged CFPF 1,068,998 over the 12 months to October 2026, before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Noumea listing brought in CFPF 211,000 in November, its best month, and CFPF 139,000 in February, its slowest. 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 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
November 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

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
Yes, when it's run well. The average Noumea Airbnb took in CFPF 1,068,998 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CFPF 60,000 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 CFPF 93,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CFPF 87,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CFPF 67,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CFPF 52,000 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.

Permits
None of the 74 active listings in Noumea 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 Noumea.
