About Casa de Campo, La Romana
Casa de Campo is the Dominican Republic's most acclaimed luxury resort — a 7,000-acre private estate in La Romana on the southeastern coast, operating since 1975 and consistently voted among the Caribbean's top resort destinations. The estate contains 3 world-class golf courses (Teeth of the Dog, a Pete Dye design ranked the #1 course in the Caribbean for 30 consecutive years), a full-service marina (400 berths, megayacht capable), and the medieval village of Altos de Chavón — a 1970s artisanal recreation of a 16th-century Mediterranean village that hosts concerts and a school of design.
About Casa de Campo Marina Residences
Casa de Campo Marina Residences is the latest phase of private residential development within the resort estate, focused on the marina district — a waterfront precinct of chandleries, restaurants, and pedestrian promenades surrounding the 400-berth marina basin. Developed by Central Romana Corporation (the resort's owner, itself owned by the Fanjul sugar family), the project delivers marina-fronting apartments and townhouses with guaranteed resort access.
Project Overview
Marina Residences Phase 2 delivers 95 residences across three marina-fronting buildings (4–7 floors), combining direct slip access for residents with boat slips for vessels up to 30ft, shared pool and terrace at the marina basin edge, and walking distance from the marina's dining and retail strip. Architecture by Oscar Imbert (Casa de Campo's resident architect) maintains the Altos de Chavón Mediterranean character — terracotta tiles, limestone walls, and arched loggias.

Investment Verdict
Positives:
- Teeth of the Dog (Caribbean's #1 golf course) is a permanent tourism anchor driving sustained visitor demand
- Casa de Campo's enclosed resort model provides physical security that is unusual and highly valued in the DR context
- La Romana's charter flight connections from Miami, New York, and Boston (1.5–3 hours) are exceptional for Caribbean accessibility
Watch Points:
- The Dominican Republic's infrastructure outside the resort gates requires adjustment for buyers planning self-exploration; the resort is essentially self-contained
- Local legal system requires careful selection of a bilingual Dominican property attorney for title due diligence
