Casa de Campo® is the only luxury resort in the Caribbean with its own international airport at the gate. Fly into La Romana Airport and you can be at your villa, feet up, in the time it takes most Punta Cana arrivals to clear the terminal car park.
That single fact reshapes a trip. This 2026 guide explains where La Romana Airport sits, which airlines fly there, what arrival looks like, and how to reach your villa — plus the honest cases where Punta Cana still wins.
Where La Romana Airport Is, and Why It Matters
La Romana International Airport carries the code LRM. It sits on the eastern edge of La Romana, minutes from the Casa de Campo gate. From touchdown to your villa door is usually 10 to 15 minutes by car. No other Caribbean resort of this calibre puts an international runway this close to the front door.
The terminal is small, low and thatched in classic Caribbean style. That scale is the point. Queues are short, the walk from plane to kerb is brief, and the whole building empties in minutes rather than the long marches you meet at larger hubs. For families with young children or guests arriving after a long haul, that difference lands hard in your favour.
Which Airlines Fly to La Romana in 2026
La Romana runs on a seasonal rhythm. The schedule peaks from December through April, when demand for Casa de Campo is highest, and thins over the summer. American Airlines has long anchored the route map with service from Miami. Winter typically adds further scheduled and charter options from North America and Europe.
Because carriers adjust these routes each season, always confirm live schedules before you book flights. We track the current picture in a dedicated post — see New Direct Flights to La Romana for Winter 2026 for the latest additions. If nothing lines up with your dates, Punta Cana fills the gaps, and we cover that trade-off below.
Arrival: Immigration, the Tourist Card and Baggage
Entry to the Dominican Republic is straightforward. You need a passport valid for the length of your stay. The tourist card that visitors once bought on arrival is now built into most airfares, so you rarely pay anything extra at the border. Check that your ticket includes it when you book.
At LRM the process moves fast. You clear immigration, collect bags from a single belt, and pass a quick customs check. Because so few flights land at once, you seldom share the hall with more than a plane or two. Most guests reach the kerb within twenty minutes of landing.
Getting from La Romana Airport to Your Villa
The transfer is the easy part. Casa de Campo sits barely five kilometres away, so a private car reaches the central villa neighbourhoods in about 10 to 15 minutes. The Marina and the golf villas take a few minutes more.
Arrange the transfer before you fly. Our team can book a private car to meet your flight, so a driver greets you by name and handles the luggage while you settle in. That beats negotiating a taxi at the kerb, and it means the resort gate clears you without delay. Our guest services desk handles this alongside grocery pre-stocking and any special arrival requests.
Flying Private into La Romana
La Romana has become one of the Caribbean’s most convenient gateways for private aviation. The airport handles private jets through its own fixed-base operation, and the short taxi from runway to resort makes it a natural choice for guests who value discretion and time. Larger jets that cannot use nearby fields land here comfortably.
We cover the aircraft, the handling and the arrival experience in full in Casa de Campo Villas Private Jet Access. For most private arrivals, LRM is simply the fastest way onto the resort.
When La Romana Isn’t the Answer: Using Punta Cana
Honesty helps here. La Romana wins on proximity, but it does not always win on schedule or price. Punta Cana International (PUJ) carries far more flights, more airlines and more competitive fares, especially from cities that La Romana does not serve directly.
The catch is the drive. Punta Cana sits about 110 kilometres from Casa de Campo, roughly a 75-minute transfer along the coastal highway. If a Punta Cana fare saves you meaningfully, or your home city only flies there, that extra hour is a fair trade. We compare the two airports in detail in Flying Into La Romana vs. Punta Cana, so you can weigh the numbers for your own trip.
