Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is raising the bar once again with the debut of the Cigars in Paradise Cigar & Rum Festival, taking place June 25–28, 2026. As highlighted by Luxury Travel Magazine, this celebration blends master‑crafted cigars, premium Dominican rum, and immersive cultural experiences, all set within one of the Caribbean’s most iconic destinations. For travelers seeking unforgettable Casa de Campo events, this festival is set to become a standout annual tradition.
Festival guests will settle into Casa de Campo’s luxury accommodations, ranging from ocean‑view rooms to fully staffed private villas. As a premier La Romana golf resort, the property offers a blend of relaxation and recreation, championship golf, a world‑class spa, gourmet dining, and exclusive festival access all within minutes of each other.
The Cigars in Paradise Festival celebrates the Dominican Republic’s legacy of cigar artistry and premium rum production. Guests can expect master‑blender workshops, curated tastings, rum‑pairing dinners, and cultural sessions led by industry experts. But what truly sets this festival apart is how seamlessly it integrates with Casa de Campo’s broader experiences, from golf and wellness to culinary exploration and adventure.
To help guests make the most of their stay, here’s how a three‑day festival itinerary naturally unfolds across the resort.
Guests begin their experience by checking into their villa or luxury room before heading to Minitas Beach Club for a Mediterranean‑inspired lunch overlooking the sea. The afternoon is perfect for unwinding at the Spa & Wellness Center, where the luxury spa menu features botanical facials, Ayurvedic therapies, and a restorative hydrotherapy circuit.
As evening arrives, the festival officially begins with an opening rum‑and‑cigar pairing led by Dominican artisans. Dinner at La Caña Restaurant sets the tone for a weekend of elevated dining experiences.
The second day blends festival programming with Casa de Campo’s signature experiences. Guests start with a master‑class hosted by cigar experts, followed by a round on one of the best golf courses in the Caribbean, whether it’s the cliffside drama of Teeth of the Dog, the river‑view fairways of Dye Fore, or the classic charm of The Links.
In the afternoon, guests will have a chance to wander through the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavón, browsing artisan shops and enjoying views of the Chavón River. As the sun sets, the Marina becomes the perfect backdrop for a rum tasting or waterfront dinner at one of our Caribbean fine dining restaurants.
The final day invites guests to explore the Shooting Center at Casa de Campo, one of the most advanced facilities in the Caribbean, offering more than 200 stations for trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
After an adrenaline‑filled morning, lunch at La Piazzetta in Altos de Chavón offers a charming Italian dining experience before guests return to the festival for exclusive access to cigar releases. The weekend concludes with an evening featuring rum cocktails, gourmet cuisine, and live entertainment, a fitting finale to a festival that blends luxury, culture, and celebration.
The Cigars in Paradise Festival is more than a gathering, it’s a showcase of everything that makes Casa de Campo exceptional. From its luxury accommodations and award‑winning golf to its cultural landmarks, culinary excellence, and immersive activities, the resort offers a depth of experiences few Caribbean destinations can match.
