Dominican Republic is one of the most diverse countries in the Caribbean and occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola, the second largest island of the Greater Antilles chain in the Caribbean Sea. Blessed with around 300 days of sunshine, this beautiful Island boasts dramatic scenery, including rainforests, mountains, mangrove lagoons, waterfalls and colonial towns, and expansive sugary sandy beaches lined with palm trees and a stunning turquoise sea. There is a distinct ‘Latino’ flavour to the Dominican Republic, and you will be hooked on the Latin rhythms of the Merengue music and dance, which is so ingrained in the Dominican culture it now boasts its own national public holiday!
Located on the Southeast side of the Dominican Republic next to the town of La Romana and just 70 miles from the capital city of Santo Domingo, Casa De Campo is one of the most exclusive destinations in the Dominican Republic, and Villa Karmen is in a fantastic spot with stunning ocean views over lush greenery.

Casa de Campo is widely considered one of the world’s leading golf resorts featuring three excellent golf courses designed by the renowned golf course architect Pete Dye. The world-ranked Teeth of the Dog Golf Course is the most recognized course in the Caribbean and, alongside the outstanding Dye Fore and The Links Golf Course, offers breathtaking vistas across stunning tropical landscapes towards the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Whether you are a newbie or championship level, your golfing experience will be unforgettable.
Perched high above the Chavon River and overlooking Casa De Campo is the village of Altos de Chavon. Built in 1982 as a cultural centre for the Dominican people, Altos de Chavon, replicates a Mediterranean-style village of the 16th century.|
The views are breathtaking, and you can enjoy beautiful buildings, squares, shops and cafes alongside a cultural centre, archaeological museum and roman style amphitheatre, which regularly hosts top music artists. This is a lovely place to see local artists showcase their unique creations or simply relax with a sundowner or two and enjoy the ambience of this pretty village.
For a taste of history and culture, Santo Domingo is worth visiting. The Capital City is the oldest city in the new world. It is home to the hemisphere’s first monastery, Monasterio de San Francisco and America’s oldest surviving cathedral, Santa Maria la Menor. The Zona Colonial area is rich in history and has wonderful food options. For a chance to escape the hustle of the city, head to the beautiful 3 Eyes National Park, which offers a great combination of caves, lakes and nature.
