Things to do in Casa de Campo after you land.

Altos de Chavón is a stone village modeled on a 16th-century Mediterranean town, perched about 300 feet above the Chavón River. It opened in 1982 with a concert by Frank Sinatra at its 5,000-seat open-air amphitheater, and it remains a working cultural center with a design school, galleries and shops.

Walk the cobbled lanes, step into the Church of St. Stanislaus, and visit the Regional Museum of Archaeology, which holds more than 3,000 artifacts from the island's pre-European cultures. In the evening the plazas and terraces over the river are lit, and many restaurants and bars stay open late. Guests of Casa de Campo can visit freely; non-guests pay an entrance fee.

Marina Casa de Campo has about 370 slips for vessels from 30 to 250 feet, a yacht club and waterfront dining. Yacht, fishing and sunset charters depart from the marina and are arranged through the marina and its operators. Minitas Beach is the resort's private beach, with snorkeling, kayaking and paddling on offer.

Isla Catalina is a short boat ride offshore, known for snorkeling and diving over its reefs. Isla Saona, part of Parque Nacional del Este, is a longer day by boat, usually via the fishing village of Bayahíbe, with soft white beaches and shallow natural pools. Bayahíbe itself is the main departure point for dive and island trips, roughly 20 to 30 minutes by road.

Distances are approximate and depend on traffic and sea conditions. Confirm timings with your concierge or the resort.

Casa de Campo is a year-round destination. The dry season, roughly December to April, is the most comfortable, with sunshine and lower humidity, and it is also the busiest and the time of year for polo. Holy Week is especially full.

Summer is hotter and more humid, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November, with the highest risk from August to October. If you travel then, stay flexible, check the forecast and confirm cancellation terms. Whatever the season, holiday weeks book out first, so share your dates early.

Because the airport is about ten minutes from the resort, a morning departure from the New York area lands you in time for the afternoon. Many guests fly down on a Thursday and return on a Sunday; others stay a week. See the New York route, the Miami route and the La Romana airport guide.

From Europe, Brazil or the U.S. West Coast, we match a larger aircraft to the distance. See exclusive private resorts and international charter.

We arrange your flight and the ground coordination around it. Your stay and the resort's own services are arranged directly with Casa de Campo. Details on this page come from public sources and the resort's published materials, and are confirmed for your itinerary before you fly.
