Casa de Campo - a Caribbean Resort
Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has an abundance of natural beauty. Lush forests, mountains split by gorges filled with rushing rivers, and countless miles of bright beaches and craggy coral coastline falling away into the brilliant blue of the Caribbean.
Choose from horseback riding, polo, tennis, golf, or just relax at the beach.
Casa de Campo
is unique... there is nothing like it in the Caribbean.
Diverse sports and dining options, exclusive shops, and the amazing and unique Altos de Chavon artists' village make this resort exceptional in the Caribbean. Casa de Campo has 300 luxurious casitas/hotel rooms and 150 spacious villa homes.
The resort is located in La Romana, on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. Casa de Campo has the style of accommodation you want and the space and activities to fit your needs.
Dozens of horses including 15 for jumping and over 80 polo ponies fill the stables at Casa de Campo, which makes finding the proper pony as easy as a trail ride. Scenic romps include a one-hour golf course ride, a two-hour ride through tropical trails by the Chavón River and two three-hour advanced rides; one through sugarcane fields to the cane-cutter's village and the other a ride outside of the main resort at Rancho Peligro (three days notice is required).
Expert staffing is on hand for lessons in English or Western-style riding, jumping, dressage and polo. Guests of Casa de Campo may also request instruction in grooming techniques, rodeo stunts or sign up for a hilarious game of donkey polo. Private guides can be arranged for individuals or groups.

see details on Horseback riding
If you’re seeking the thrill of polo, the Casa de Campo facilities are among the best in the Caribbean. Consisting of three playing fields, one practice field and the largest string of polo ponies under a single brand in the world, there is no place better to enjoy this rigorous and engaging sport. Equipment, group instruction and personalized training are available for beginners and medium-goal players. Guests may hire ponies for stick and ball tournaments and families can compete against each other in matches held each week.
Regular polo matches are played throughout the week during the season, which begins in early November and ends in April. Domestic cups and international tournaments are organized during the season and all teams are encouraged to enter.
Please note: long pants and closed shoes are required to ride at the center. Children must be over seven-years old or have prior riding experience.
For young children, rides are available on Anita, Juanito and Miguelito, the center’s three ponies. Special private trail rides can also be arranged.
English or Western saddles are available.

Sports & Entertainment

Even the most active people find it hard to do everything at Casa de Campo but discover that it is easy to do what they want to do. What is wonderful about this Resort is that each person no matter the age and interests, has a favorite 'hot button' - a sport or activity they like to do in their recreational spare time... a dining taste to which the different restaurants cater.

Altos de Chavon:
Where History and Beauty Meet

Stroll through this 16th century replica of a Mediterranean village perched high above the Chavón River. Enjoy the grandeur of days gone by as you walk through the cobblestone streets and take in the luxurious craftsmanship of yesteryear. Quaint shops, exclusive boutiques, art galleries and an archeological museum are just a sampling of the world that awaits you atop the picturesque cliffs of Casa de Campo.
Breathtaking venues such as the St. Stanislaus Church are available for special occasions, themed events and celebrations of any size or style. A Grecian-style amphitheater becomes the site for dramatic entertainment, such as the weekly Kandelá musical review show, our annual festivals, or a magnificent private function under the stars.
