Overview
This entry combines two closely linked destinations in the Dominican Republic: Catalina Island and Casa de Campo. Catalina Island is a small, uninhabited tropical island located just off the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches, calm, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs ideal for snorkeling and diving. Casa de Campo is an exclusive, sprawling luxury resort and residential community in nearby La Romana, boasting championship golf courses, a magnificent marina, and the unique Altos de Chavón, a replica 16th-century Mediterranean village.
For Caribbean cruise passengers, these two destinations are frequently paired. Cruise ships typically dock directly at the Casa de Campo Marina in La Romana or the nearby La Romana Cruise Terminal. From here, excursions are often arranged to transport guests to Catalina Island by boat, or to explore the vast Casa de Campo resort. A combined visit offers cruise passengers the ultimate Dominican Republic cruise experience, blending secluded island relaxation and underwater adventure with world-class resort amenities and unique cultural exploration.
Enjoy a quintessential Caribbean beach day on Catalina Island's soft, white sands. Lounge under the sun, swim in the calm, clear waters, and soak in the natural beauty of this uninhabited paradise.
Tip: Many cruise excursions to Catalina Island include beach access, sun loungers, and often a BBQ lunch for ultimate convenience.
Discover the vibrant underwater world surrounding Catalina Island. The island boasts spectacular coral reefs teeming with colorful fish and marine life, making it a premier spot for snorkeling and diving in the Dominican Republic.
Tip: Beginner-friendly areas are plentiful, and some excursions provide all necessary gear and guided snorkeling tours.
Step back in time at Altos de Chavón, a meticulously crafted replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village within Casa de Campo. Wander its cobblestone streets, browse artisan workshops, visit art galleries, and admire the stunning amphitheater.
Tip: Attend a local artisan demonstration, and be sure to take photos of the picturesque architecture and river views.
For golf enthusiasts, experience a round at one of Casa de Campo's legendary Pete Dye-designed golf courses, such as the iconic "Teeth of the Dog," frequently ranked among the world's best. These courses offer challenging play with spectacular ocean views.
Tip: Pre-booking tee times is essential, especially for "Teeth of the Dog," and ensure your excursion allows ample time for play and transport.
Stroll through the sophisticated Casa de Campo Marina, a full-service mega-yacht harbor inspired by Italian seaside villages. Admire the luxurious yachts, browse high-end boutiques, and enjoy a coffee or drink at a waterfront café.
Tip: The marina area is a beautiful spot for a leisurely walk and offers a glimpse into the opulent side of Caribbean life.
Witness the elegance of the Peruvian Paso horses at Casa de Campo's Equestrian Center, or if timing allows, catch a polo match (seasonal). The resort's equestrian facilities are world-class and offer a unique spectacle.
Tip: Check the resort's schedule or your cruise line's excursion details for availability of shows or matches during your visit.
