Casa de Campo® Barranca
Modern Residential Villas at Casa de Campo®
Barranca is the modern-architecture residential pocket of Casa de Campo®, set away from the coast among the resort’s most distinctive contemporary villas. Three villas — a reflecting-pool architect’s villa, a contemporary pool villa by the Racquet Center and a water-garden family home — give Barranca its character: clean lines, modern interiors and quiet streets.
Three villas make up the Barranca pocket: Casa Zens — a modern architect’s villa with a reflecting pool and clean-line interiors; Villa Solara — a contemporary villa with a long green-tile pool and walled garden showers; and Villa Agua — a water-garden family retreat with modern interiors and a private pool.
What Defines a Barranca Villa
Three villas represented by Caribbean Paradise Homes at Barranca range from $1,750 to $3,450 per night — Casa Zens with reflecting-pool minimalism, Villa Solara with its green-tile pool and garden showers, and Villa Agua with a water-garden family retreat. The pocket suits modern-architecture enthusiasts, value-conscious bookings, and quiet streets near the Racquet Center — not beachfront grandeur.
Who These Villas Are Perfect For
Barranca is an inland-residential pocket at the resort’s center. All three villas have pool decks and modern interiors — Casa Zens with a reflecting pool and architect’s minimalism, Villa Solara with a long green-tile pool and a canopy daybed past it. It suits design-minded groups who want a central inland base.
What Makes a Barranca Villa Different
Why They Sit at the Top of the Market
Modern residential architecture, pool deck living, and a central inland position. Bedroom range from 5 to 6 — sleeping 10 to 12 guests. Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore, the Casa de Campo® Marina, and Minitas Beach are a short cart ride or a drive away, depending on the villa. The included cook prepares meals during villa staff hours — standard hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm, varying only at select villas.
Life in the Middle of the Resort
Teeth of the Dog — ranked the Caribbean’s top course by the World Golf Awards, short cart ride. Dye Fore — Pete Dye’s clifftop course over the Chavón River canyon, a short cart ride or a drive, depending on the villa. Casa de Campo® Marina — restaurant strip, catamarans, a short cart ride or a drive. Racquet Center — a short walk from Villa Solara, a short cart ride from Casa Zens and Villa Agua. Minitas Beach — the resort’s primary beach, a short cart ride.
Pricing for Barranca villas
Barranca villa rentals run from $1,750/night for the contemporary pool villa to $3,450/night for the water-garden family retreat. The pocket offers modern residential architecture at accessible rates, not premium beachfront or clifftop. The three villas:
- Villa Solara — contemporary villa with green-tile pool and garden showers: from $1,750/night
- Casa Zens — modern architect’s villa with reflecting pool: from $2,900/night
- Villa Agua — water-garden family retreat with modern interiors: from $3,450/night
Every Barranca booking includes the property’s own staff (cook for meals during villa staff hours, butler, housekeeping) and direct-with-owner rates — no booking fees, no third-party markup. Resort access is not included in the villa rate: it is granted once the Casa de Campo® resort access fee is paid.
