Short description of La Romana

La Romana is one of the Dominican Republic’s most important economic and tourism centers on the southeastern coast, blending Caribbean charm with an exclusive resort atmosphere. Historically shaped by the sugar industry, the city is best known for the renowned Casa de Campo resort, home to the famous Teeth of the Dog golf course, a private marina, and polo facilities. High above the Río Chavón lies the picturesque artists’ village of Altos de Chavón, while offshore, Isla Catalina and the pristine beaches of Isla Saona rank among the region’s most popular destinations. Nearby Bayahíbe serves as a gateway for boat trips into Cotubanamá National Park and offers excellent diving and snorkeling. La Romana combines authentic Dominican life, Mediterranean-inspired culture, world-class golf, and luxury tourism with some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful coastal scenery.
