History & Story
Casa de Campo Resort & Villas has been considered an elite escape and coveted Caribbean getaway for more than 40 years. Sprawling over 7,000 acres on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic, the resort was originally developed by Alvaro Carta of the South Puerto Rico Sugar Company and Gulf + Western Americas (parent company of Paramount Pictures) in the late 1960s. With the success of the sugar mill in La Romana, Carta began to consider investment options for Gulf + Western and the idea of a lavish resort developed.
To assist in locating the perfect spot for the development, Carta brought in famed golf course architect, Pete Dye. After drawing up plans for an area just outside of Santo Domingo, Dye inquired about any other locations. Carta reluctantly suggested an area near La Romana that was too dry to grow sugar cane and too sparsely vegetated for cattle – it’s here that Dye discovered the immaculate coastline that would become home to Casa de Campo Resort & Villas.
Over the years Casa de Campo was developed, including three legendary golf courses, the polo program – introduced by the Maharajah of India, the cultural city – Altos de Chavón, and a resort airport. In the mid-1980s Casa de Campo was sold to a group of private investors of the Central Romana Corporation, before being bought by the Cuban-American Fanjul family, the world’s largest sugar barons. Keeping its feel exclusive and luxurious, the Fanjuls developed Casa de Campo Resort & Villas into the “The Caribbean’s Most Complete Resort” and welcomed guests from around the world.
