Casa de Campo Resort: Where Luxury Meets the Caribbean

March 18, 2025 1 min read

Spanning 7,000 acres along the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, Casa de Campo is not merely a resort — it is a private city, a world unto itself, where golf, polo, yachting, and design coexist at the highest standard.

A Resort Built for a Different Standard

Developed in the early 1970s by Gulf+Western Industries under the creative direction of designer Oscar de la Renta, Casa de Campo was conceived from the outset as a destination for the world’s most discerning travelers. Today it remains the Caribbean’s premier luxury residential and resort community — home to private villas, world-ranked golf courses, a full-service marina, an international polo club, and Altos de Chavón.

Private Villa Living

The residential side of Casa de Campo encompasses hundreds of private villas ranging from elegant 3-bedroom retreats to palatial 10-bedroom estates. Properties are primarily freehold, and the resort’s management infrastructure allows owners to place their villas in a rental program when not in residence — generating returns while maintaining the highest standards of upkeep.

The Marina: Gateway to the Caribbean

Casa de Campo’s full-service marina accommodates yachts up to 250 feet and serves as a port of entry for the Dominican Republic. With fuel docks, provisioning services, and direct access to the restaurants and boutiques of the marina village, it is a destination in its own right — particularly during the winter season when vessels from across the Atlantic arrive for the Caribbean circuit.

Security, Infrastructure & Services

For international buyers, the appeal of Casa de Campo extends beyond aesthetics. The resort operates its own gated security infrastructure, its own fire department, a private airstrip (La Romana International Airport, a short drive away), and a full concierge ecosystem. For families, the combination of safety, activity, and natural beauty makes it uniquely compelling.
