Atmosphere & Accommodations
Nestled on a sprawling 7,000-acre peninsula along the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, Casa de Campo is more like a private resort town than a typical hotel. With its Mediterranean-style architecture, lush landscapes, and world-class service, it offers a mix of tropical relaxation and upscale exclusivity. Guests get around by golf cart — which you’ll need to explore everything from the marina to the private beaches and golf courses.
Accommodations range from elegant rooms and suites to lavish private villas with butler service, full kitchens, private pools, and staff — ideal for families or groups traveling together.

If you book the all-inclusive package, nearly all food, drinks, and activities are covered — and that can be a smart choice here, given the wide range of dining options.
