Case Study

Casa Arca: the proof, in one rooftop

“Tulum's #1 Rooftop” · Holistika

Live since 2022. Flawless ever since.

Casa Arca has been in our care for years — and across every guest review in that time, it has never dropped below five stars. It also earns 3.1x the revenue the market expects of a three-bedroom its size. That's not luck: it's a pricing engine, relentless guest care and direct-booking reach, working together.

Why We Outperform

We don't maintain your listing. We grow it.

Most managers keep the lights on. We treat your villa like the asset it is — and the numbers follow.

Dynamic pricing

An industry-leading price engine and SEO that out-rank and out-earn the market, night after night.

Direct-booking reach

Our own platform plus every major channel — more impressions, more direct bookings, fewer fees.

Five-star guest care

A 24/7 concierge and trained team turn every stay into a five-star review that lifts your ranking.

Real local expertise

Nine years reading Tulum's seasons — so you're booked when the market sits empty.

When we took over one penthouse, its revenue climbed from 590,000 to 1.65M pesos — a 2.8x jump. An identical unit we ran from day one earned 3x its neighbour.

Measured Against the Market

Not a sales claim — a line in your monthly report

Every owner statement benchmarks your villa against what the Tulum market would expect of a home its size — occupancy, nightly rate and revenue, each shown as a multiple of the market. You see exactly how far ahead you are.

Radical Transparency

You see everything

Every month you receive live financials, maintenance photos and video, quality-inspection walkthroughs, and your payout — all in one place. And every statement benchmarks your villa against the Tulum market, so “performing well” is a number, not a feeling. No black box, no chasing.

Who's Behind It

Built by an investor, for owners

Two Norwegians, one standard: your villa run with the discipline of an investment portfolio — and one accountable person on the other end of the line.

Owner Questions

Asked before every handshake

What does SEVA's management cost?
One transparent management fee — no setup charge, no surprise line-items, no markup hidden in maintenance. We walk you through the exact structure in your consultation, before you commit to anything.
I already have a property manager. Is switching painful?
It's our most common onboarding. We handle the handover — calendars, listings, guest history, staff and suppliers — and most villas relaunch within weeks. One penthouse we took over went from 590,000 to 1.65M pesos in its first year with us; an identical unit we ran from day one earned 3x its neighbour.
How do I know how my villa is really performing?
Every month you receive a full owner statement: revenue, occupancy and nightly rate — each benchmarked against what the Tulum market would expect of a home like yours, shown as a multiple. In May 2026 our managed homes ran 3.1x to 8.3x the market's expected revenue. You also get maintenance photos, inspection video and your payout, all in one report.
Do you handle maintenance, bills and the legal side?
Yes. Housekeeping and turnovers, pool and A/C care, preventive upkeep, utilities and community fees — and we work alongside top professionals on tax compliance and legal matters so ownership stays simple and fully above board.
Is my villa right for SEVA?
We're selective on purpose — a curated portfolio is why every home gets real attention and why our reviews stay five-star. If your villa is in or near Tulum and built to a high standard, send it over: the earnings projection is free, honest, and yours to keep either way.
