**Driver****’s license: **Every room and villa in Casa de Campo includes a 4-passenger golf cart to explore the resort grounds.

**Comfortable shoes: **Inside Casa de Campo you will find the magnificent [Altos de Chavón](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/experiences/altos-de-chavon/), a walkable replica of a Mediterranean villa with cobblestone streets, scenic views, and iconic landmarks such as its 5,000-seat amphitheater. To enjoy it fully, we recommend skipping the high heels and brand-new shoes in favor of comfortable sneakers, loafers, or sandals. Additionally, bring a pair of flip-flops to walk around the pool and beach areas.

**Workout clothes: **Yes, we know you’re on vacation and exercising will not be the first thing on your to-do list. But when you see our pedestrian paths that run through golf courses, tranquil neighborhoods, and tree-shaded areas, you might want to walk or jog around even if just for a few minutes. We also have a fully-equipped Fitness Center so keep your routine going, and occasional yoga lessons at Minitas Beach to meditate in front of a beautiful sunrise.

**Medicine: **Even though you can find pharmacies at the [Marina](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/experiences/marina/), Altos de Chavón, and the resort main area, as well as first aid and medical attention in case of an emergency, it’s best to bring your prescription medication, over-the-counter favorites, and any other medical supplies you might need.
