La Romana

La Romana is a fabulous getaway for couples, families and diving enthusiasts who love to explore its large expanses of coral reefs and captivating shipwrecks. It is also hugely popular with golfing devotees who flock there for its 3 championship courses and golf school at the luxurious Casa de Compo complex. Famous names who have stayed there include Frank Sinatra, Barack Obama, Beyonce and Steven Spielberg. A major attraction in La Romana is the Altos de Chavón, a magnificent replicated 15th century village where you’ll find a myriad of excellent restaurants, galleries, craft shops and a fascinating museum featuring Taino artifacts. South of La Romana is Catalina Island, a magical haven with incredible sandy beaches, enchanting coral reefs and the wrecked ship of the legendary pirate William Kidd. There are many great places to visit if you choose to venture outside the resort during your holiday - these include the country’s vibrant capital Santo Domingo which is a pleasant 30-minute drive away and Parque del Este, a protected national park with an awe-inspiring sub-tropical rainforest and stunning coastline.
