Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Weligama?
Gross bookings per Weligama listing averaged Rs 2,076,623 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Southern Province average: Rs 3,114,723), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Weligama listing brings in Rs 517,000 in July, its best month, and Rs 266,000 in June, its slowest. February runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 Rs 754,000+ a month, about 6.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn Rs 275,000 or more, roughly Rs 150,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about Rs 123,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn Rs 51,600 or less, about 42% 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.

Weligama 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.
February 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Weligama Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Weligama Airbnb took in Rs 2,076,623 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 Rs 4,666,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Rs 297,000 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 Weligama's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Weligama listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 9,840 adds about Rs 98,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 18,400 a night or more, against a median of Rs 9,840. 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 Rs 205,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about Rs 517,000, against Rs 266,000 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Weligama listings average 4.81 stars, and 30% 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 Rs 389,000 a month, against Rs 173,000 for the average one.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Weligama?
None of the active Weligama 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 Weligama?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Weligama Airbnb grossed Rs 2,076,623 in the 12 months to September 2026, 33% below the Southern Province average of Rs 3,114,723, 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 Rs 297,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
