Casa de Campo

Casa de Campo

Welcome to paradise. I was invited to spend 7 nights here in La Romana, not something you would really want to say no to. But when I arrived, the realisation of just how much there was to see and do hit me. I come from a shooting background, English Sporting, this was one of the main attractions for myself and my guest, who just happened to be Victoria Knowles-Lacks, owner of The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club.

We were staying in an Elite room with a balcony which overlooked one of their 3 golf courses - beautiful. All the five star touches you'd expect were there, from the VIP check-in we received on arrival, golf buggy hire included, décor, amenities, choice of pillows, maid as required, turn down service, 6 restaurants with all-inclusive but additional fine dining available.

I would recommend this resort on an 'all inclusive' basis. As well as their stated restaurants, soft drinks, club wine amd local beer, you also have unlimited ranch riding, golf and a free 25 shot 'have a go' at clay pigeon shooting. A special mention to the ranch. We rode every single day and were very impressed at the standard of care for the horses and guests.

Golf

At Casa de Campo Resort and Villas, golf isn’t just a pastime; it’s a way of life. With courses carved from the earth along the pristine Caribbean Sea – fringing the ocean, overlooking the Chavón River, and winding throughout our spectacular grounds, it’s no wonder this classic sport is so integrated in our daily life. From beginner to expert, each round offers a challenge whether it’s your first or 50th time playing. These spectacular Dominican Republic Golf courses include Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and The Links.

State of the art Shooting

The best year-round shooting facility in the Caribbean. For an authentic in-the-wild shooting experience, look no further than Casa de Campo. The shooting facilities include an onsite 245 acre Shooting Centre, with over 200 stations for trap, skeet and sporting clays and pigeon rings. Casa de Campo’s shooting centre also includes a 110 ft. tower that projects sporting clays—one of the largest in the world, as well as “Rancho Peligro”, a wild bird reserve outside of Casa de Campo where “Driven Shoots” take place. Casa de Campo’s shooting facilities are considered by many to be among the best in the world - to which, myself and Victoria would agree.

Polo & Dude Ranch

Casa de Campo Resort and Villas’ extensive equestrian centre is among the best in the Caribbean. And if you’ve never saddled-up before, our expert staff is on hand for lessons in English or Western-style riding and jumping, and even grooming techniques and rodeo stunts.

Private guides are available for individual or group trail rides on two of our cattle ranches. Enjoy a leisurely ride through herds of water buffalo, lakes teeming with ducks and local fauna, sugar cane fields, and our on-site horse-breeding operation. The Equestrian and Polo are directed by Fernando Arata, originally from Argentina, a professional polo player with ample experience in the field.

Beginners and experts alike can take advantage of equipment, group instruction, and personalized training. Guests can also hire ponies for stick and ball tournaments, a fantastic and entertaining activity for families. Regular polo matches are played from early November to the end of April for those simply content to cheer from the side-lines.

Added Unique Touches

Altos de Chavón is a place like no other—a replica 16th century Mediterranean village in the heart of the Dominican countryside. Meticulously designed by Dominican architect, Jose Antonio Caro, and Italian master designer and cinematographer, Roberto Coppa, every detail of Altos de Chavón was handcrafted by local artisans. Other sites include an archaeological museum, offering a glimpse into the fascinating history of the area, the St. Stanislaus Church, 5,000-seat amphitheatre, and sweeping views of the Chavón River and the Caribbean Sea.

Private Marina & Beach

The heart of Casa de Campo Resort and Villas’ ocean playground is the Marina—the vision of Gianfranco Fini and Piero Giacosa. Inspired by the quaint seaside villages that dot the Mediterranean coastline, the Marina is more than just a place to moor, it’s an entire community for sport fishermen, yachting enthusiasts, and landlubbers alike.

At the heart of Casa de Campo is Minitas Beach, a private sanctuary that’s perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying sports like snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boating, and so much more. And just beyond our shores, the secluded Catalina and Saona Islands await with even more hidden beaches and lush surroundings to explore.

…and there’s more. From entertainment, spas, excursions, exceptional restaurants to choose from - you can even get married here. The St. Stanislaus Church or beach makes for the most amazing photos the Caribbean has to offer, you’ll look back on those moments and memories for the rest of your life. Casa de Campo is a place you’ll never forget! I know we won’t.
