Ready to plan your trip?La Romana, Curated.
La Romana is a refined Caribbean destination on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, known for luxury resorts, championship golf, calm beaches, the artistic village of Altos de Chavón, and easy access to Saona Island.
La Romana combines polished resort living with culture, nature, and easy island adventures. Travelers can relax on quieter Caribbean beaches, play world-class golf, explore Altos de Chavón, visit nearby fishing villages, and take day trips to Saona or Catalina Island.
La Romana is ideal for couples, honeymooners, golfers, families, and travelers who prefer an upscale Caribbean escape with more privacy and less nightlife than Punta Cana. It also suits visitors who want a mix of resort relaxation, cultural experiences, and organized island excursions.
Casa de Campo is the leading choice for luxury villas, golf, a marina, and full-service resort amenities. Bayahibe is better for a relaxed beach-town atmosphere and convenient access to Saona Island tours, while Dominicus offers all-inclusive beachfront resorts with calm water and a quieter setting.
La Romana’s highlights range from Mediterranean-inspired architecture and championship golf to tropical islands, coral reefs, and calm Caribbean beaches.
Visit Altos de Chavón, a hilltop village designed in a 16th-century Mediterranean style, explore the Casa de Campo Marina, spend a day on Saona Island, or take a boat to Catalina Island for snorkeling and diving. The Cueva de las Maravillas is another popular nearby stop.
Popular outdoor experiences include snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, and catamaran trips. Golfers can play renowned courses such as Teeth of the Dog, while nature lovers can explore caves, reefs, tropical coastlines, and protected island landscapes.
Dining ranges from beachfront seafood and traditional Dominican dishes to upscale restaurants at Casa de Campo and the marina. Nightlife is generally relaxed, centered on resort entertainment, elegant bars, marina lounges, and casual beach venues rather than large clubs.
Choose your resort area carefully, arrange transfers in advance, and allow time for at least one island excursion during your stay.
December through April offers the driest and most comfortable weather, making it the most popular season. May and June can provide better resort rates with warm conditions, while August through October is hotter, wetter, and falls within the Atlantic hurricane season.
Private transfers, taxis, resort shuttles, and organized excursions are the easiest ways to travel. Casa de Campo is large and often uses golf carts or internal transportation, while visitors staying in Bayahibe or Dominicus can walk locally but will need transport for La Romana and regional attractions.
La Romana ranges from moderately priced all-inclusive resorts in Bayahibe and Dominicus to premium rooms, suites, and villas at Casa de Campo. Budget separately for airport transfers, golf, island excursions, marina dining, spa services, tips, and private experiences.
