La Romana, Dominican Republic

Upon arrival at the airport, you’ll be greeted by our representative and chauffeured in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to the magnificent Casa de Campo estate. As you enter the gates, the sheer scale and beauty of the resort become apparent. Check into your luxurious Superior Casitas room, designed with elegant mahogany furniture and a private terrace. After settling in, take your personal golf cart for an initial exploration of the grounds to get your bearings. Consequently, your first evening is for relaxation; perhaps enjoy a welcome cocktail at the bar followed by a delicious dinner at one of the resort’s exceptional restaurants, setting the tone for the week ahead.

Today is dedicated to embracing the Caribbean’s most sought-after treasure: the beach. Head to the exclusive Minitas Beach Club, a private haven of soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Your day can be as active or as relaxed as you wish. Lounge on a comfortable sunbed with attentive waiter service, take a refreshing swim in the sea, or enjoy the stunning infinity pool overlooking the ocean. For lunch, the beach club’s restaurant offers fresh, delicious cuisine. Moreover, non-motorised water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding are included, offering another way to enjoy this perfect setting.

Prepare for a golfing experience you will never forget. Today you’ll take on Pete Dye’s masterpiece, Teeth of the Dog, consistently ranked the best course in the Caribbean. With seven holes clinging dramatically to the rocky coastline, the views are as challenging as the play itself. Feel the sea spray as you line up your shot. Subsequently, after your round, relax at the 19th hole, sharing stories of the day’s triumphs. For non-golfers, a visit to the tranquil resort spa for a rejuvenating treatment or a yoga class provides a perfect alternative.

Immerse yourself in culture with a visit to Altos de Chavón, the resort’s incredible 16th-century replica Mediterranean village. Spend the morning wandering the cobblestone streets, browsing the artisan workshops, and visiting the Archaeological Museum. In the afternoon, marvel at the 5,000-seat Grecian-style amphitheatre, which has hosted world-famous performers. As evening descends, the village comes alive. Therefore, choose one of its romantic restaurants, like La Piazzetta, for an authentic Italian dinner in a truly unique and atmospheric setting.

Discover the glamorous heart of the resort at the Casa de Campo Marina. Designed by Gianfranco Fini, it’s a world-class hub for luxury yachts. Spend the morning strolling along the waterfront, browsing the designer boutiques, and admiring the impressive vessels. For lunch, select one of the chic waterfront cafes. In the afternoon, why not charter a boat for a snorkelling trip to the nearby Catalina Island or try your hand at deep-sea fishing? Hence, the marina offers a taste of the high life and a different perspective on this diverse resort.

Today offers a chance to explore some of Casa de Campo’s other world-class facilities. Equestrian enthusiasts can visit the extensive polo and horse-riding centre for a trail ride through the beautiful Dominican countryside. Alternatively, for those seeking a different kind of thrill, the 245-acre Shooting Centre offers clay pigeon shooting and other disciplines. If pure relaxation is your goal, however, then a full day dedicated to the serene spa, with its hydrotherapy circuit and indulgent treatments, is the perfect choice. The day is yours to design.

Enjoy a final, leisurely Dominican breakfast on your private terrace, soaking in the last moments of the tropical ambiance. Depending on your flight schedule, there may be time for some last-minute souvenir shopping at the marina or one last swim at Minitas Beach. Afterwards, your private transfer will arrive to escort you back to the airport for your return flight to the UK. You’ll depart with cherished memories of an unparalleled luxury holiday at one of the world’s most complete and exclusive resorts.
