ALMA: CASERA’S BOOKING PLATFORM
Welcome to Alma, your homes-away-from-home calendar and online booking platform, designed to make planning your holidays effortless.
How it Works:
A Points Based System
A flexible, seasonal system that lets each Co-Owner holiday on their own terms. Peak and high-season weeks simply require more points, while mid and low seasons require fewer. Each home’s calendar is thoughtfully structured to reflect its location and seasonal rhythm, ensuring fair and balanced access for all Co-Owners throughout the year. With three homes shared by 13 Co-Owners, each enjoys an average of 12 weeks of use annually, typically ranging from 7 to 15 weeks depending on the season and which home you choose to enjoy.
with Structured Booking Rounds
Structured booking rounds give Co-Owners the chance to prioritize the weeks that matter to them the most. A common concern is logging into the system only to find all of the weeks you want already taken. Our approach prevents this by releasing points in batches, ensuring every Co-Owner has a fair opportunity to secure their preferred dates, or the next best option, before the next booking round begins.
allowing Advanced Planning
Alma makes it easy to plan holidays well in advance while also accommodating bookings closer to travel. Booking rounds open a year in advance of the following year’s holidays, giving Co-Owners the ability to plan 12–23 months ahead. If your schedule isn’t set during booking rounds, your points remain available for later use, with access to the weeks still open at that time.
and Spontaneous Holidays
Because Casera homes are reserved exclusively for Co-Owner use, our booking system makes spontaneous getaways simple. If a home is available within 30 days of travel, you can reserve it without using any points, whether it’s an extra holiday week or a last-minute stay. It’s an effortless way to make the most of your homes.
with Built-in Flexibility
Thoughtful flexibility ensures fair use for all. If plans change, the system returns your points in full when cancellations are made with sufficient notice. A built-in waitlist gives priority to other Co-Owners interested in that week, helping maximize the enjoyment and use of every home in the Collection.
and The Ability to Gift Time
Gifting time lets Co-Owners share unused weeks with family and friends. When you can’t use all your points, help to create unforgettable memories for those closest to you. Gift your points, so loved ones can enjoy all the benefits of a Casera Co-Owner, including access to our Concierge service during their stay, and the peace of mind that comes with having a property manager just a phone call away.
