The Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has become a hot tourist destination for all-inclusive vacations with the largest hotel room inventory (approximately 60,000 rooms) among Caribbean countries. It has also become very popular location for second homes and luxury residences, especially along the white-sand beaches that comprise one-third of the country’s coastline.

Local highlights include the Village of Altos de Chavon – This site became an artisan center in 1976. Reminiscent of a Renaissance Italian village, the coral block and terra cotta buildings along its cobble-stoned paths house craft workshops, artist’s studios, galleries, shops and restaurants. Trained artisans produce ceramics, fabrics, tapestries, silk-screens and much more.

The village is also home to a 5,000 seat open-air theater which was inaugurated in 1982 by Frank Sinatra and Carlos Santana and hosts symphonies, concerts, theatrical events and festivals; the Regional Museum of Archaeology which records the island’s history; and the Altos de Chavon School of Design.

Traveling to the DR is easy with flight options from major cities around the world. There are three international airports available for your traveling convenience: The Casa de Campo/La Romana International Airport (LRM), just 8 minutes from the resort’s main entrance, the Santa Domingo International Airport (SDQ), and the Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), both just 90 minutes away from Casa de Campo.
