Here are five tips for building the best healthy and enjoyable vacation!

Personalize Your Wellness Journey

Your path to renewal should feel distinctly your own. The Spa Casa de Campo now offers tailor-made programs designed with the support of the spa concierge. Guests can build a journey that balances tranquility and transformation—whether that includes the hydrothermal circuit, detox therapies, restorative facials, or a combination of treatments crafted around personal goals. Every detail is curated so your time feels purposeful and uplifting.

Enjoy the Best of Modern Spa Therapies

A wellness retreat is most rewarding when you fully indulge. The newly reimagined spa features elegant treatment rooms—many with private garden access and outdoor rain showers—creating an atmosphere where time slows down and relaxation takes center stage.

Today’s menu blends the traditional with the innovative. Guests may choose from classic massages, botanical body treatments, and Ayurvedic rituals, or explore contemporary options such as jet-facials, triple detox therapies, and acoustic relaxation experiences. Each therapy is designed to restore balance and encourage deep renewal.

Nourish Your Body with Fresh, Health-Focused Cuisine

Well-being begins from within. The Spa Café & Juice Bar offers wholesome dishes, fresh-pressed juices, and smoothies crafted to support energy and vitality throughout the day. It is a peaceful space to enjoy light meals before or after treatments, reinforcing a mindful approach to nourishment. Pair your spa experience with a refreshing juice cleanse or choose energizing snacks that complement your wellness goals.

Rejuvenate Through Restorative Wellness Practices

The modern traveler seeks more than a moment of relaxation—they seek true restoration. The hydrothermal circuit encourages this, combining steam, dry heat, cold therapy, vitality pools, and thermal loungers to boost circulation and naturally detoxify the body. Many guests enhance their rejuvenation with specialized wellness rituals designed to ease fatigue, reduce stress, and promote long-lasting clarity. This is where meaningful renewal begins.

Movement remains essential to a fulfilling wellness retreat. From sunrise yoga to legendary golf courses, tennis, equestrian activities, and watersports, Casa de Campo provides countless ways to stay active. The spa completes this lifestyle with recovery-focused treatments ideal after a day outdoors. A balanced routine—activity, mindfulness, and spa therapy—sets the foundation for a refreshed spirit and restored strength.

The villas in Casa de Campo are as varied as they are luxurious. From intimate garden oases for a romantic retreat to impressive 10-bedroom oceanfront villas with room for all of your family and friends, there is a villa for every occasion—and vacation—at Casa de Campo Resort. We’ve got five reasons why you should consider renting one of our exclusive villas for your next Dominican Republic vacation.

1: Privacy

Staying in a villa is the ultimate way to relax and get away from it all. Each of our villas features a private pool, dedicated staff, and stylish living areas with all the comforts of home. With private chef services and a 24-hour private concierge, you can truly have everything you need and never have to see another soul! The privacy of a villa is perfect for a romantic retreat or escape from the hustle and bustle of the every day.

2: Home away from home

With anywhere from three to 10 bedrooms, staying in a villa means you have the space to spread out while on vacation. No living out of a suitcase – in fact, our villa guests have access to private housekeeping and laundry services. Wake up to “wow!” with a breathtaking view from one of our Classic or Oceanfront villas. Drink your coffee on your private outdoor terrace, lounge all day in your pajamas, or keep up with your juicing routine, just like you would at home.

3: VIP treatment

Guests of Casa de Campo Villas are truly treated like VIPs. Get a complimentary airport transfer directly to your villa where you’ll be checked in by your private concierge and welcomed with exclusive amenities such as a tropical fruit basket, Dominican spirits, snacks and more (depending on villa category). Villa guests receive preferential rates for a number of resort amenities, including golf at our award-winning golf courses, as well as free access to amenities such as our state-of-the-art fitness center. As a villa guest, you’ll also receive priority attention for dinner, spa and activity reservations.

4: A personalized experience

When you stay in a villa, your vacation is truly your own. Excited to try one of our restaurants? Make a reservation through your private concierge. Feel like staying in? Arrange for a meal cooked by a private chef in your villa kitchen. Golf carts are included with every villa, so you and your travel companions can explore the expansive resort grounds on your own time and schedule.

5: An unforgettable special occasion

What better way to celebrate a special occasion than with the vacation of a lifetime? When you stay in a villa you can celebrate with your loved ones in style. Host a private party at your villa! Our staff will arrange entertainment, plan an outstanding menu and clean up once the party is over.

So what are you waiting for? Find the villa that’s right for you, and start planning a vacation you’ll never forget.

When it comes to having a relaxing vacation, sometimes a beach and a book is all you need. If you find yourself in need of a new beach read for your next trip to Casa de Campo, look no further – these four books will keep you entertained from cover to cover.

1. The Nest: A Novel by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney

What would you do if your inheritance was in danger of being taken away? Since landing on bookstands in late March this novel has been a best-seller and a hit with book clubs. Set in New York this drama tells the story of four grown siblings who must come to terms with the fact that the inheritance they counted on may be no more, due of the actions of one of them.

2. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz

While the main setting of this novel is New Jersey in the early 1990’s, this Pulitzer Prize winning novel is written by a Dominican-American author and incorporates Dominican Republic history – when our country was under the rule of Dictator Rafael Trujillo. This moving story will captivate you, while also helping you learn a little more about the country you’re visiting.

3. Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice by Curtis Sittenfeld

From Clueless to Bridget Jones Diaries and more, there have been a number of retellings of Jane Austin’s beloved books. In the newest iteration, the story of the Bennet family (and Mr. Darcy of course) takes place in modern Cincinnati and involves Masters Degrees and emails in lieu of balls and hand-written letters. It’s got all that you love from the original work, with a fun and modern twist!

4. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

The world’s top-selling mystery novel will have you glad that the beautiful beaches of Casa de Campo, Catalina Island and Saona Island are nothing like the dangerous, deserted island the nefarious characters of this novel find themselves on. As the guests disappear one by one, see if you can figure out who the killer is.

There’s nothing better than a refreshing cocktail on a warm summer’s day, and now that summer is just around the corner we’re craving something that’s stylish, tasty and has a kick of Caribbean spice.

Whip up one of these, sit back and sip, and pretend you’re at the bar in Minitas Beach Club basking in a warm Caribbean breeze.

Recipe:

1oz White Tequila
1oz Cinzano Sweet Vermouth
1oz Campari Bitter
1/2oz Chocolate infused with chili liqueur

1: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing glass.

2: Add cubed ice and stir until cold.

3: Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.

4: Garnish with a dehydrated orange wheel.

Vacation is all about relaxation and soaking up as much ‘you’ time as possible. At Casa de Campo, we invite you to escape the day-to-day, and enjoy the finer things in life. While your vacation should undoubtedly be full of R&R, indulgence, beach days, and adventure, you may find yourself looking to keep things in moderation with a little physical activity.

Fortunately, staying fit while on vacation is simple at Casa de Campo, and you’ll still have plenty of time to bask in the sun! Read on for some of our favorite tips for feeling great and staying active during your vacation.

Walk as much as possible.
One of the best ways to experience a new destination is to simply get out and walk! Pick up the dog from the kennel, or simply put on your comfortable footwear and head outdoors for some sightseeing and activity. This is an easy way to make sure you hit daily movement goals (you’ll see the steps add up quickly if you’re using a Fitbit or another type of fitness tracker), and you’ll have fun doing so!
Mix exercise & adventure.
Exercise doesn’t have to mean hitting the gym (although, if you’re a gym-goer, we offer plenty of group classes, a state-of-the-art gym, and personal training options, too!). Disguise fitness and make it fun! Try a game of tennis, saddle up at the equestrian center, or enjoy some water exercise by going snorkeling, kayaking, or swimming. All of these activities are perfect for getting your heart rate up while having a great time.
Enjoy resort activities.
Take advantage of Casa de Campo’s scheduled activities, ranging from a morning yoga class right on Minitas Beach, a Zumba or CrossFit class, to an outdoor excursion into Las Maravillas Cave, or ziplining through spectacular views. Vacation is the perfect time to try something new.
Go for a run.
For a hassle-free workout on the road, go for a run! Apart from a pair of sneakers and some shorts, you don’t need any special equipment. Be sure to ask our staff for recommended running routes, or explore sites like MapMyRun to get an overview of the area and discover shared routes other runners love.
Hit the course.
A favorite pastime for many of our guests, golf is an excellent source of exercise. From cardiovascular exercise, to strength training and coordination, hitting the course contributes to overall health as you reap the benefits from fresh air, movement, and fun. Discover the three legendary golf courses at Casa de Campo.

Casa de Campo is the perfect destination for an active vacation offering plenty of ways to keep fit and have fun.

Vacations are fun and relaxing, but we bet you’ve never said the words “I just love packing!” Packing for your vacation can be tedious, and even stressful – especially if you don’t know what to bring.

That’s why we’ve created this handy checklist for your Casa de Campo vacation. It makes preparing for vacation a breeze. You’ll be packed and ready to go in no time!

Clothing

Bring casual daytime wear and nicer outfits for evenings. Choose tops and bottoms that can be mixed and matched for a variety of combinations. For a weeklong vacation, bring approximately ten tops and four bottoms.

Select dresses that can be dressed up or down, for day and night wear. Statement jewelry doesn’t take up a lot of room in your suitcase and quickly takes a look from “blah” to “ta-da!”

Bring a light sweater or pashmina as well. Even though it’s warm and sunny in the Dominican Republic, you don’t want to be caught feeling chilly in airports or restaurants.

When packing, choose fabrics that don’t easily wrinkle, to avoid hassle when you unpack. And don’t forget, our villas include complimentary laundry service. That makes it easy to pack lighter for long stays.

Shoes

Shoes take up the most room in your suitcase, so be practical! Bring a casual pair of sandals for the beach, a good pair of walking shoes for exploring sites like Altos de Chavón (where cobblestones can make walking in high heels a challenge), and a versatile pair of dress shoes for evenings. Wear your bulkiest pair of shoes on the airplane to save room.

Fun In The Sun

Bring at least three swimsuits for a weeklong vacation – more, if you plan on hitting the beach or pool every day. Don’t forget to pack sunglasses, a sunhat, sunscreen and a beach cover-up.

Staying Active

There are lots of ways to keep active at Casa de Campo, so plan and pack accordingly. We offer golf, tennis, horseback riding, yoga, and more! Check out all our sports here.

Carry-On Essentials

Pack your carry-on luggage with essentials like medication and toiletries, electronics and a great book. If you can, include one change of clothes in your carry-on luggage in case your checked bag is delayed. It never hurts to be prepared!

Now that you know what to pack, all that’s left is to come join us in paradise! Before you go, download our packing checklist below.

Vacation Packing Checklist from Casa de Campo

Food plays a major role in the formation of a cultural identity and the Dominican Republic is no exception. With a blend of Spanish, indigenous Taíno and African influences, Dominican cuisine offers an array of amazing dishes that are sure to please any palate. And since no travel experience is complete without a taste of local cuisine, we’ve compiled a list of must-try foods and drinks to give you an authentic Dominican experience during your stay at Casa de Campo.

Mangú: A staple of a good Dominican breakfast, mangú consists of mashed plantains topped with sautéed onions. Add some queso frito (fried cheese), eggs and salami and you’ve got los tres golpes (the 3 hits) that will give you the fuel you need to hit the golf course all day long. Or enjoy a long nap on Playa Minitas beach.

Quipes: A Dominican spin on the Mediterranean dish kibbeh, a savoury mixture of meat (usually ground beef), peppers, onions and raisins is wrapped in a bulgur wheat mixture and fried.

La Bandera: La Bandera is the quintessential Dominican dish. The main components of the dish embody the country’s tri-color flag (hence the name): rice, for the white of the flag, beans for the red, and meat for the blue (just trust us on this one). As you explore the DR you’ll see this dish on the menu almost everywhere you go.

Sancocho: This hearty stew is one of the most central dishes to Dominican cuisine. Try our version at Lago Restaurant made with seven types of meat, root vegetables, plantains and an abundance of herbs and spices.

Lambi (stewed conch): More than just a pretty seashell, conch provides a delicious meat that is a must-try for any seafood lover. Try it at Lago in an authentic creole sauce served with fried plantains.

Shrimp Asopao: If you still can’t get enough seafood, shrimp asopao is the way to go! At Lago this hearty shrimp and rice soup is taken to the next level with added Mamajuana!

Empanadas: These tasty pastry pockets can be made in a variety of ways – from savory to sweet. Try the cassava empanada – a Dominican favourite – served with savoury meat at Lago Restaurant.

Morir Soñando: To wash down all of these delicious dishes sip on the refreshing drink Morir Soñando. Made with orange juice, condensed milk, cane sugar and ice, as the name implies you can “die dreaming” about this heavenly concoction!

Majarete: We can’t forget dessert! This smooth and silky corn and coconut milk pudding is the perfect way to top off any meal during your stay here.

Now that we’ve whet your appetite, what dishes are on your list to try when you visit us? Book a stay at one of our luxurious and private villas, order our chef-in-villa service, and prepare to satisfy your curiosity! when it comes to your appetite, your wish is our command!

Few things bring a couple together like traveling, and a Caribbean getaway is a perfect way to recapture some romance. It’s easy to have the romantic escape of a lifetime at Casa de Campo Resort and Villas.

One of the best things about a romantic getaway is enjoying each other’s company in a completely different setting. The hectic pace of our everyday lives can make it all too easy to fall into a rut or routine. A stroll along the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavón or a horseback ride through the lush countryside of La Romana is a great way to spend time together, reconnect, and gain a new perspective.

A couple enjoying their Casa de Campo Wedding

If you and your significant other prefer to work up a sweat, get each other’s blood pumping with a high-energy tennis match, or an intensive training session at our fitness center. There are plenty of ways to be active while on vacation at Casa de Campo! Afterward, you can both relax and recoup with a couples’ massage at the spa. Nothing brings a couple closer together than quality time.

With over half a dozen restaurants available resort-wide, you and your loved one will be able to have a different romantic meal every night of your stay! Cozy up in a booth at La Caña, or dine alfresco (after a handheld stroll at Minitas Beach) at The Beach Club. Feel like staying in for the evening? We offer private chef services that go above and beyond room service.

While you’re in new surroundings, why not learn something new together? Tackling a new activity, such as clay shooting or stand-up paddleboarding can help to remind you and your partner what it felt like early on in your relationship when everything felt fresh.

So, treat yourselves to a weekend spent reconnecting at Casa de Campo! After a stay in the luxury and seclusion of one of our incredible exclusive villas with private pools, sumptuous bedding, and complete concierge and personal butler service, we bet you’ll leave with a relationship that’s feeling stronger than ever—and a desire to start planning your next romantic getaway! Go ahead and book your own private paradise with us.
