Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Casa de Campo Protected Area is a world-renowned private estate located near La Romana in the La Altagracia province of the Dominican Republic. This vast property spans over 7,000 acres of diverse terrain comprising manicured golf courses, tropical forests, beaches, and man-made lakes.

The area's topography includes rolling hills, coastal plains, and the Caribbean Sea coastline, supporting a variety of local flora and fauna typical of the island’s dry tropical forest ecosystem.

Historically, Casa de Campo was developed in the 1970s and has since become synonymous with high-end tourism combined with nature preservation efforts. The estate features three 18-hole golf courses designed by legendary golfers Pete Dye and Pete Dye II, including the famous “Teeth of the Dog” course, ranked among the best in the Caribbean. Visitors also enjoy horseback riding, deep-sea fishing, mountain biking, hiking, and water sports on the adjacent white sand beaches. Notable landmarks include the Altos de Chavón, a replica 16th-century Mediterranean village that serves as a cultural and artistic hub within the area.

Casa de Campo appeals to travelers seeking a blend of luxury amenities intertwined with outdoor adventure in a scenic Caribbean environment. The combination of protected natural areas, recreational facilities, and cultural sites make it a unique destination for nature lovers, golf enthusiasts, and those interested in immersive resort experiences.
