Near the city of La Romana on the south coast of the Dominican Republic, the Casa de Campo golf resort enjoys an enviable reputation. With three highly rated golf courses and a host of other facilities including a spa, marina and private beach, it creates a wonderful ambiance which is much-loved by visitors.
In addition to the golf courses which include the top-rated Teeth of the Dog, the resort’s other sports facilities include tennis courts, an equestrian centre and a soccer school, and the coastal location on the River Chavon makes water-sport another possibility. The resort has excellent fitness and wellness facilities, in the form of a fitness centre offering tailored programmes, and a serene spa where you can enjoy a variety of treatments.
On the resort’s private Minitas Beach, the beach club combines relaxed dining with the sounds of DJs and live musicians, and the views of the Caribbean Sea are undeniably appealing. There are many other dining options around Casa de Campo, from food truck to gourmet, and cuisines from Italian and French to Mexican and Spanish are represented, along with plenty of local specialities.
One special highlight for visitors is a riverside village which looks centuries old but is in fact a recreation – Altos de Chavon was built over six years from the late 1970’s. Look out for the 5,000 seater amphitheatre which has welcomed some of the biggest names in music, from Sinatra to Sting, and the cultural centre where artists are often seen at work. The nearby city of La Romana offers yet more entertainment, as well as shopping, casinos and beautiful beaches.
