Things to Do in Casa de Campo: Ultimate Luxury Guide to Casa de Campo

Few destinations in the Caribbean deliver the scale and self-sufficiency of Casa de Campo. On the Dominican Republic's southern coast near the town of La Romana, this gated resort community is  like a private town, where championship golf courses, cultural landmarks and a bustling marina village coexist within a single tropical compound. The resort's origins trace back to the early 1970s, when thousands of acres of former sugar cane land were reimagined as an exclusive enclave for international travelers and residents. Legendary golf course architect Pete Dye was brought in early on.His vision for the coastline would produce one of the finest golf courses in the world and set the tone for everything that followed.

Casa de Campo is a destination where an afternoon on one of the world's most celebrated golf courses can give way to an evening of fine dining at a marina restaurant, followed by morning kayaking the Chavon River through untouched countryside. The Dominican Republic's cultural warmth permeates every interaction, from staff who maintain the resort's impeccable grounds to artisans who keep traditional crafts alive in the hilltop village of Altos de Chavon. The range of exciting activities available here rivals destinations many times its size, and the warm Caribbean climate ensures access to all of them throughout the year.

What distinguishes Casa de Campo from other Caribbean luxury destinations is this completeness. A family can spend two weeks here and never repeat an activity. A couple seeking quiet refinement can fill their days with golf, spa treatments and candlelit dinners overlooking the marina. A group of friends can move from the shooting range to the polo field to the nightclub without leaving the resort's gates. This guide covers everything worth knowing about top things to do in Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic, from legendary courses and sporting facilities to beaches, cultural attractions and family-friendly programming.

Other Neighborhoods

Beyond these eight primary neighborhoods, the resort includes areas such as Altos de la Marina, where waterfront villas sit near the marina and adjacent golf courses, offering pristine white sand beaches within walking distance of the resort's finest restaurants and bars. The Marina district itself presents a different character entirely, where elegant buildings, docks and charming plazas create an atmosphere that blends Mediterranean refinement with Caribbean informality. The Yacht Club anchors the social life of the marina, serving as the gathering point during water events and sportfishing tournaments. Five distinct zones within the marina area distribute shops, art galleries, restaurants and services across a walkable footprint, with Portofino Plaza evoking plazas of coastal Italy through its collection of boutiques and eateries.

Seasonal Calendar

The tropical Caribbean climate sustains warm conditions throughout the year, making Casa de Campo a genuine year-round destination without dramatic seasonal shifts defining mountain or Mediterranean resorts.

The peak season runs from December through April, coinciding with the dry season, North American and European holidays and the polo calendar, which opens in early November. These months deliver consistently clear skies, comfortable humidity levels and the resort's fullest social calendar, including major golf tournaments. 

May, June and November present a compelling window for travelers who prefer fewer visitors alongside excellent weather. Temperatures remain warm, with these months representing the sweet spot for those who value a less populated environment.

Summer months from July through October bring warmer temperatures and occasional tropical showers, though the resort remains fully operational. The quieter atmosphere appeals to travelers comfortable with brief afternoon rain and slightly higher humidity. Major events are fewer during this period, but every facility, restaurant and activity continues without interruption.

Notable events punctuate the calendar throughout the year, including the Casa de Campo Open golf tournament played across all three courses, the Latin America Pro-Am on Teeth of the Dog, the ProCigar Festival drawing cigar enthusiasts from around the world and the National Biennial of Visual Arts with winning works exhibited at Altos de Chavon.

Golf

Three Pete Dye-designed championship courses form the centerpiece of the Casa de Campo experience, establishing the resort as one of the premier golf destinations in the world. Dye, whose relationship with Casa de Campo began in the late 1960s, shaped each course to take advantage of the extraordinary natural terrain, from rugged coral coastline to sheer river cliffs. Together, these courses offer 63 holes that span an astonishing range of landscapes and challenges.

Teeth Of The Dog

The crown jewel of Casa de Campo golf, the legendary Teeth of the Dog, is one of the highest-ranked courses in the Caribbean. The name comes from jagged coral formations that line the shoreline, formations whose sharp points have been shaped by centuries of waves. The course itself was hand-carved from this same rugged rock and coral along the Dominican coastline, creating a playing surface that feels as though it emerged organically from the landscape. Seven of the 18 holes play directly along the Caribbean Sea, creating an interplay of crashing surf, ocean wind and strategic shot-making that distinguishes this course from virtually any other in the region.

Dye worked with 300 local laborers for more than two years to sculpt the layout, moving coral by hand to create fairways and greens where only raw coastline had existed before. The result remains his personal favorite among the hundreds of courses he has designed worldwide, a distinction that speaks to the unique marriage of natural beauty and golfing challenge this layout achieves. Holes that trace the coastline demand precision and nerve in equal measure, with the sea serving as both a hazard and a spectacle. Fairways thread between coral outcroppings and greens perched near the water's edge test a player's ability to manage wind, spray and adrenaline simultaneously. The Teeth of the Dog® motto, "all bite, no bark," captures the experience accurately. Beauty and difficulty are inseparable here. Regardless of what the scorecard says at the end of the round, the experience of walking this coastline with a club in hand qualifies as one of the Caribbean's great sporting and aesthetic experiences.

Dye Fore

Dye Fore derives its drama from elevation. The course encompasses 27 holes stretching across 7,740 yards, with seven holes positioned on cliffsides that drop 300 feet to the Chavon River below. Resulting vistas are staggering: 360-degree panoramas sweep from the river canyon across rolling countryside and distant mountain ridges.

The sheer verticality of certain holes creates challenges found nowhere else. Holes 12 and 15 are frequently cited among the most demanding par threes in the world, not because of length alone but because of the psychological weight of standing on a cliff edge with a canyon yawning beneath the green. The course rewards players who can maintain composure in extraordinary settings.The variety across 27 holes ensures every round reveals new perspectives on the landscape. A newer section adds further dimension, making Dye Fore a course that justifies multiple rounds during any extended stay.

The Links

The Links offers a deliberate contrast to its sibling courses. Inspired by windswept layouts of the British Isles, this course embraces rolling terrain, sea views and the strategic demands associated with links-style play. A comprehensive overhaul in 2012 brought the course up to the standard set by its more famous neighbors, refining its challenge while preserving the scenic character making it a favorite among resort guests.

The course rewards creativity and shot-shaping over raw power, with undulating fairways and firm playing surfaces that encourage a ground game. Views of the Caribbean Sea provide a tropical counterpoint to the traditionally British design philosophy, creating a hybrid distinctive within the Casa de Campo portfolio. For players who have tested themselves against the ocean holes of Teeth of the Dog and the cliffs of Dye Fore, The Links provides a cerebral complement, demanding strategic thinking.

Night Golf And Tournaments

Beyond daily play, the resort's golf programming extends into the evening hours and the tournament calendar. Night Golf at the Teeth of the Dog Driving Range takes place every Saturday from seven to 11 in the evening, transforming the practice facility into a social event with food, drinks, LED-lit tables and golf balls that illuminate on impact. The atmosphere blends sport with entertainment, drawing families and groups who might not otherwise spend an evening on a driving range.

The competitive calendar features two signature events. The Casa de Campo Open is a 54-hole individual stroke-play competition using the Stableford scoring system, played across all three courses. Men and women compete in flights organized by index and age and international visitors who can assemble a team of at least three from the same country may enter the Country's Cup competition. The Latin America Pro-Am, the leading tournament of its kind in the region, pairs one professional with four amateurs for a week of competition on Teeth of the Dog.

Sports and Active Pursuits

Casa de Campo's sporting facilities extend well beyond golf, encompassing a range of sports activities and adventure activities that would be remarkable in any setting but are virtually unmatched within a Caribbean resort. The breadth of options reflects a philosophy that equates luxury with genuine access to world-class athletic pursuits.

Shooting

The Outdoor Shooting Center spans 245 acres, making it one of the most comprehensive facilities of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. More than 200 stations accommodate trap, skeet, sporting clays and pigeon rings, providing variety for shooters at every skill level. A 110-foot tower projects sporting clays at angles and distances that rank among the most challenging available anywhere.The sheer scale of the facility ensures that even during busy periods, shooters experience a sense of space and immersion in the natural landscape. The course design allows progression from station to station, with each setup simulating wild game in natural habitats, creating conditions that feel more like a countryside hunt than a resort activity.

Experienced shooters can arrange participation in Driven Shoots at Rancho Peligro, a wild bird reserve located outside the resort proper. These organized shoots bring the atmosphere and unpredictability of true field shooting to the Casa de Campo experience, appealing to those who have spent time in shooting estates in the United Kingdom, Argentina and elsewhere and want to find that caliber of experience in a Caribbean setting.

Within the main complex, the Purdey Five Stand Shooting Facility adds a distinct dimension. The format positions five shooting stands in a configuration designed to be faster than sporting clays, more varied than skeet and more dynamic than trap. Patterns simulate rabbit, duck and quail hunting, making the Five Stand a favorite among shooters who enjoy variety and quick transitions between targets. The Purdey name carries its own weight among firearms enthusiasts and the facility honors that heritage with a standard of operation that matches the brand's reputation.

Equestrian

The Equestrian Center ranks among the finest in the Caribbean, welcoming riders of all experience levels. Both English and Western-style instruction are available, with expert staff providing patient guidance for those encountering horses for the first time and advanced training for experienced equestrians interested in jumping. The facility's quality reflects the same commitment to excellence that characterizes the resort's golf and shooting operations.

Polo

During polo season, from early November through April, Casa de Campo offers three 300-yard playing fields, a practice field and the largest string of polo ponies under a single brand in the region. The program has brought an elite sport into an accessible setting, welcoming players of varied abilities and ages with instruction, equipment and well-trained ponies. First-time players receive thorough grounding in the basics before taking the field, while more experienced riders find facilities and competition worthy of their skills. The social dimension of polo season adds its own appeal, with matches drawing spectators who appreciate the combination of athletic prowess, equine grace and the particular atmosphere only a polo field surrounded by tropical landscaping can provide. Whether playing with colleagues, friends or family, the combination of professional-grade facilities and hands-on support creates an approachable entry point into a traditionally exclusive pursuit.

Tennis

La Terraza Tennis Center features 13 Har-Tru courts arranged across landscaped grounds rich with flowering plants, leafy shrubs and tall trees. Two individually fenced show courts allow spectators to observe play from a large patio area that also houses a pro shop, bar and swimming pool. The setting has earned recognition as one of the most beautifully designed tennis facilities in the world.The quality of the courts and instruction matches the visual impression. Private and group lessons with qualified professionals cater to players at every stage of experience.

The Caribbean coastline and nearby islands provide Casa de Campo with a collection of beach experiences ranging from the resort's own private strand to protected national parkland.

Minitas Beach

Minitas Beach is the resort's private seaside retreat, offering a fully equipped environment for both relaxation and exciting water activities. Calm, sheltered waters make it suitable for swimmers of all ages and abilities, while kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and other beach activities are available directly from the sand, with instruction for those interested in trying something new.

Playa El Caleton draws families with its accessible atmosphere and local vendors offering fresh seafood and beverages directly on the sand. Playa Caleta, slightly removed from the main tourist circuits, remains a local favorite where fishing boats drift across the horizon beneath beach umbrellas. Bayahibe, near the heart of La Romana, holds Blue Flag certification, reflecting strict standards for water quality and environmental stewardship. Each beach brings a distinct character, rewarding those willing to explore beyond the resort's gates.

Catalina Island

Catalina Island lies a short boat ride from the coast, a six-square-mile island ringed by white sand and crystal-clear water. The island is a natural extension of the resort experience, offering a full day of swimming, snorkeling and uninterrupted relaxation in a setting that feels entirely removed from the mainland.

Saona Island

Saona Island and its famous Palmilla Beach occupy protected national parkland within Parque Nacional del Este. The island has drawn filmmakers from around the world searching for the ideal depiction of an untouched tropical paradise and the reality lives up to the cinematic reputation. Palmilla Beach is essentially a natural offshore sandbar surrounded by waist-deep water populated by starfish, creating a snorkeling and wading experience unlike anything available on the mainland. Surrounding seas support abundant marine life, including numerous species of tropical fish.The government's protective designation ensures the island's natural beauty remains undiminished by commercial development.

Water Activities

Scuba Diving

Warm Caribbean waters surrounding Casa de Campo sustain a diverse range of aquatic pursuits. Scuba diving is amazing in the Bayahibe area, where more than two dozen dive sites offer outstanding visibility and calm conditions for about 320 days of the year. Sites range from shallow, accessible dives suitable for beginners and certification courses to advanced expeditions including the St. George shipwreck and cave dives for experienced divers.

Sport Fishing

Sport fishing operates from the marina, where an active fishing club provides guides and instruction for all skill levels. Waters off the southeast coast support a variety of game species and the combination of professional guidance and properly equipped vessels creates conditions for productive outings whether a guest is casting a line for the first time or pursuing a trophy catch.

Kayaking

Kayaking offers two distinct experiences. Paddling off Minitas Beach provides seaside views and glimpses of marine life, while a guided kayak tour of the Chavon River presents a different atmosphere entirely. The river journey winds through natural countryside, with expert guides providing safety instruction and narration as paddlers spot indigenous wildlife against a backdrop of lush vegetation and views of Altos de Chavon above.

Stand Up Paddleboarding

Stand-up paddleboarding draws on traditions tracing back to Polynesian seafaring culture, adapted here to the warm, calm waters of the Caribbean. The activity challenges balance and core strength while providing an elevated perspective on the coastal landscape.

Yacht Charter

For those drawn to the open water, yacht charters range from intimate day cruises to extended voyages aboard vessels of considerable size and luxury. The fleet includes the Azimut Atlantis 43', a modern yacht with comfortable sun pads, motorized sunroof and versatile indoor-outdoor spaces.

The Benetti Air, at nearly 50 meters, offers accommodation for up to 12 guests along with a jacuzzi, gym equipment and an extensive collection of water toys including jet skis and seabobs. The BlueGame BGX70, an award-winning design recognized at the Cannes and Dusseldorf boat shows, brings avant-garde styling and glass-rich living spaces that dissolve the boundary between interior and sea.

Arts and Culture

Altos de Chavon is one of the most distinctive cultural landmarks in the Caribbean, a meticulously crafted replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village on a hillside above the Chavon River. Dominican artisans constructed the village using traditional techniques that lend the stone facades, cobblestone streets and ironwork an authenticity that belies the project's 20th-century origins. Altos de Chavon serves as Casa de Campo's artistic and cultural heart, housing galleries, artisan workshops, a renowned amphitheater and two museums within winding passages and intimate plazas. The Altos de Chavon School of Design, an affiliate of Parsons in New York, further cements the village's creative identity, training emerging artists and designers from across the Dominican Republic and Latin America.

Regional Museum Of Archaeology

The Regional Museum of Archaeology houses thousands of pre-Columbian artifacts excavated from the region bordering the Chavon River. The collection focuses on the period when the Dominican Republic and Haiti were known as Hispaniola, with particular emphasis on pieces left behind by the Taino people, an indigenous group whose way of life was transformed following the arrival of European explorers in the late 15th century. The museum provides essential context for understanding the land on which Casa de Campo now sits, connecting contemporary visitors to the area's deep human history.

Amphitheater At Altos De Chavon

Designed in the manner of a Greek amphitheater, this spectacular 5,000-seat open-air venue has hosted performances from Dominican and international artists since its inaugural event in 1982, with a concert by Frank Sinatra. The roster of performers who have graced its stage since that opening night reads as a cross-section of global music, including names such as Juan Luis Guerra, Shakira, Sting and Elton John. The setting, elevated above the river canyon with the open sky as a ceiling, transforms every performance into an unforgettable event that venues with four walls cannot replicate.

Amber World Museum

The Amber World Museum presents the science and history of amber through a combination of historical data, dioramas and interactive technology. Visitors learn about the geological processes that created these fossilized gems over millions of years, examine the animals and vegetation preserved within them and explore characteristics that distinguish Dominican amber from specimens found elsewhere. The museum's collection includes delicate amber jewelry available for purchase, making it both an educational experience and a destination for distinctive souvenirs.

The broader cultural calendar includes the National Biennial of Visual Arts, one of the Dominican Republic's most significant artistic events. A panel of judges selects winners from among submissions by Dominican citizens and long-term foreign residents, with winning works subsequently exhibited at The Gallery in Altos de Chavon, where visitors can view them throughout the display period.

Fine Dining

The dining landscape at Casa de Campo spans cuisines and atmospheres, from Italian classics in a medieval village setting to fresh Caribbean seafood served while yachts glide past. With more than 70 restaurants and eateries distributed across the marina, hotel and cultural village, the resort supports extended stays without repetition. Several signature restaurants stand out for their culinary ambition and distinctive environments.

La Cana

La Cana is at the heart of the resort and gets its name from sugar cane crops that have driven La Romana's local economy since the 1900s. The kitchen highlights and elevates local ingredients within its Mediterranean framework, with French-inspired fare that applies refined technique to Dominican produce. Dishes reflect a philosophy that respects the agricultural traditions of the surrounding countryside while delivering the precision and presentation standards of continental European cuisine. The bar and lounge area draws guests nightly with live music, hand-rolled cigars and a deep selection of Dominican rum, creating an atmosphere that connects the culinary experience to the region's heritage. The space is as much of a social gathering point as a restaurant, with the kind of convivial energy that encourages guests to arrive for dinner and stay for the evening.

La Piazzetta

La Piazzetta is the first restaurant established in Casa de Campo, with an initial interior designed by Oscar de la Renta. Overlooking Altos de Chavon, it evokes a Mediterranean medieval village, providing a setting equally suited to intimate dinners and family gatherings. The menu rotates seasonally through Italian classics and Italian-inspired signature dishes, with all pasta prepared by hand in-house. The combination of pedigree, setting and kitchen consistency has kept La Piazzetta at the center of Casa de Campo dining for decades.

Causa

Causa introduces the rich culinary traditions of Peru to the Caribbean setting. Named for both an iconic Peruvian dish and a colloquial term for a close friend, the restaurant presents three of Peru's most recognized culinary styles: Creole, Nikkei and Chifa. The modern, informal environment channels positive energy.

La Casita

La Casita occupies a marina-front position where Spanish-inspired cuisine meets the Caribbean. Shimmering waters of the harbor have long served as inspiration for the kitchen, which focuses on fresh, locally sourced seafood prepared through the lens of Spanish culinary tradition. The restaurant's paella has earned particular renown and open-air dining allows guests to watch yachts navigating the harbor as the sun descends. Few settings in the resort integrate cuisine and environment as seamlessly as La Casita at sunset.

Chilango Taqueria

Chilango Taqueria provides a casual counterpoint at Altos de Chavon, serving bold Mexican street food flavors from a terrace overlooking Plaza Chavon and the village church. The setting belies the simplicity of the menu, with breathtaking views elevating tacos and quesadillas into something more memorable.

Sbg

SBG Casa de Campo brings Mediterranean and contemporary European flair to an international menu served in a luxurious poolside setting. The dining experience balances elegance and ease, with a menu that moves confidently between fish, meats and pasta. Appetizers like tuna carpaccio give way to main courses such as miso sea bass over Thai fried rice, demonstrating the kitchen's willingness to blend culinary traditions from multiple continents. Desserts, including a macadamia tart with salted caramel and vanilla ice cream, reward those who pace their evening. The atmosphere shifts as night falls, transitioning from sophisticated dinner service to entertainment as international DJs and artists take the stage, making SBG a destination that rewards a long, unhurried evening.

The marina houses the most exclusive retail offerings, with shops oriented toward an upscale clientele seeking designer resort wear, beachwear, jewelry and accessories.

Nightlife

Evening hours at Casa de Campo offer a progression from beachside relaxation through convivial bar culture to late-night energy, with three distinct venues defining the arc.

Minitas Beach Club

Minitas Beach Club and Restaurant transitions from daytime beach venue to evening destination, where Mediterranean and Latin American dishes are served against the backdrop of an idyllic beachfront.

The atmosphere encourages a casual, social evening without sacrificing the quality that defines resort-level dining.

Genesis Nightclub

The combination of world-class production values and premium bar service creates a destination within the destination, suited to those who define a great vacation partly by the quality of its nights.

Activities and Day Trips

Land Adventures

The resort's 7,000 acres and the surrounding Dominican countryside offer land-based excursions that complement the water sports and sporting pursuits.

Ziplining

The zipline park features 18 platforms connected by 12 zip lines that carry riders through the tropical canopy at speeds reaching 55 km/h. The course is designed for progressive excitement, with early cables building confidence before the higher, faster sections deliver genuine adrenaline. Cable nine achieves the park's greatest height, offering aerial views of the surrounding countryside, while cable 11 extends 800 meters as the only parallel cable of its kind in the country, allowing two riders to fly side by side. Expert guides manage each transition between platforms, ensuring safety while maintaining the momentum that makes the experience exhilarating. A midcourse stop at the coconut house provides a chance to sample fresh organic products and observe traditional coconut oil production, grounding the aerial adventure in the agricultural traditions of the Dominican countryside.

Buggy Rides

Buggy rides take guests off paved roads and into the Dominican terrain aboard open-air dune buggies. The routes pass through sugar cane fields and agricultural areas, with stops for tastings of locally grown cacao, coffee and fresh-cut sugar cane. The combination of off-road driving and agricultural immersion creates an experience that connects the resort to the working landscape beyond its gates.

Golf Cart Rides

Premium electric golf carts provide the most practical way to navigate the resort's vast grounds. Nearly silent and surprisingly comfortable, carts allow residents and visitors to move between neighborhoods, courses and the marina efficiently. Advance reservation is recommended, as these vehicles are popular among regular visitors who understand the value of convenient mobility across 7,000 acres.

Day Trips

Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the New World, is about 90 minutes from Casa de Campo. A guided tour of the Dominican capital reveals more than 500 years of history through museums, cathedrals and colonial-era landmarks. The excursion provides cultural context for the nation whose hospitality and warmth form the foundation of the Casa de Campo experience.The contrast between the capital's urban energy and the resort's tropical tranquility makes the return journey feel like arriving somewhere familiar for the first time.

The Cueva De Las Maravillas

The Cueva de las Maravillas, or Cave of Miracles, presents roughly 250 Taino Indian cave paintings within a subterranean landscape of stalactites and stalagmites still forming through their slow mineral accumulation after thousands of years. Dimly lit passages cast an ethereal glow over rock formations and visitors can imagine the indigenous Taino people whose fires once bathed these same walls in dancing, otherworldly shadows. For those who appreciate history and geological wonder in equal measure, the cave delivers both in a single excursion that ranks among the most unique experiences available from Casa de Campo.

The Tabacalera De Garcia

The Tabacalera de Garcia, established in 1971, is the largest hand-rolled cigar factory in the world. Guided tours follow the complete production process from raw tobacco through blending, rolling and finishing, with every stage performed by hand in the traditional manner. For casual enthusiasts and devoted aficionados alike, the scale and craftsmanship on display reward the visit.

Catamaran Journey

A catamaran trip to Catalina Island combines a scenic half-hour sail with a full day on the island's beaches. Snorkeling in clear waters, swimming and lounging on provided chairs make for a day that feels distinctly separate from the resort experience while remaining easily accessible from the marina.

Chavon River Excursion

The Chavon River offers a different kind of excursion, whether by private guided cruise or kayak. The journey reveals the natural countryside surrounding Casa de Campo, with wildlife spotting and views of Altos de Chavon from the water providing a perspective on the village that no land-based visit can replicate. The river's history adds narrative depth to the physical beautyDuring colonial times, these waters served as a transport route for precious tropical hardwoods and Caribbean pirates reportedly used the river's hidden bends to conceal captured treasures. The tranquility of the journey creates one of the more meditative experiences available from the resort.

Horseback Riding

Hacienda Higueral, a working ranch outside the resort, invites guests to go horseback riding through the Dominican countryside. The property maintains active horse- and cattle-breeding operations alongside scenic riding routes through sugar cane fields, open pastures and peaceful lagoons. The excursion provides an authentic glimpse into the agricultural life that sustains the communities surrounding Casa de Campo, contrasting the resort's polished luxury with the honest rhythms of a working Dominican estate.

Family Activities

Casa de Campo has invested meaningfully in family-friendly activities and in programming for younger guests, creating an environment where families can share experiences without compromising on quality for any age group. The resort understands for many traveling families, the measure of a successful vacation is whether every member, from toddlers to teenagers, finds fully engaging activities. Supervised educational programs and outdoor adventures to entertainment venues are designed with younger audiences in mind. Teens-only activities like billiards tournaments, karaoke nights and movie outings provide age-appropriate social options for older children.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling introduces children to the marine world in the calm, sheltered waters off Minitas Beach or during excursions to Catalina and Saona islands. Crystal-clear conditions and colorful reef systems make the underwater landscape accessible and engaging for young swimmers, with nearby islands offering particularly vivid encounters with tropical fish and starfish.

Riding Lessons

Horseback riding lessons at the Equestrian Center welcome beginners of all ages, with riders six years and older eligible to ride independently under professional supervision. The quality of instruction and the gentleness of horses make this an approachable experience for children encountering equestrian activities for the first time.

Summer Camps

Practical Information: Getting There

The Casa de Campo resort is on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic.It benefits from multiple access points, each offering a distinct level of convenience depending on origin and preference. Dominican airport transfers can be arranged through the resort's concierge to simplify logistics from any arrival point.

La Romana International Airport is just five minutes from the resort's check-in facilities, functioning essentially as Casa de Campo's private gateway. The airport accommodates private jets and charter flights arriving from the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. For travelers who value minimizing the gap between arrival and relaxation, this proximity is difficult to surpass.

Arrival by sea is equally straightforward. The Marina at Casa de Campo provides full-service docking facilities for yachts up to 250 feet in length, with shipyard capabilities and a comprehensive array of marina services. For those chartering or sailing their own vessel, this route turns the approach to Casa de Campo into the first experience of the stay.

Once on the grounds, the most practical way to navigate 7,000 acres is by golf cart. Premium electric models operate nearly silently and comfortably accommodate the distances between neighborhoods, courses and the marina. Residents and frequent visitors consider them essential, and first-time guests quickly understand whyThe resort's scale rewards motorized convenience and the open-air nature of golf cart travel preserves the connection to the tropical environment that makes Casa de Campo feel like a destination rather than a facility. Advance reservation is advisable during peak periods, as these vehicles are popular among regular visitors.
