Most first-time guests make the same miscalculation: they picture Casa de Campo® as a hotel with grounds. It is closer to a small town. At 7,000 acres, the resort is larger than Gibraltar. For instance, it has road names, a marina with a working supermarket, and a hilltop village with its own amphitheatre. Some residential neighbourhoods even take fifteen minutes to cross by golf cart. So knowing the map before you arrive changes how you plan every dinner reservation, tee time, and beach morning.
This guide walks the layout the way our villa guests actually use it. And yes, there is a downloadable map PDF at the end.
How Casa de Campo Is Laid Out
Think of the resort as three anchors connected by cart paths and internal roads. Meanwhile, villa neighbourhoods fill the space between them.
The hotel core sits near the main entrance on the western side. It holds reception, the spa, La Terraza Tennis Center, and the original cluster of restaurants. Most resort services radiate from here. Treatments and in-villa options are covered in our Casa de Campo spa guide.
The Marina occupies the south-eastern corner where the Río Chavón meets the Caribbean. This is the commercial heart — Plaza Portofino’s restaurants, boutiques, a cinema, the yacht docks, and the everyday essentials covered below.
Altos de Chavón crowns the hill above the river between the two. It is a replica 16th-century Mediterranean village. Inside, you find galleries, the Regional Museum of Archaeology, St. Stanislaus church, and the 5,000-seat amphitheatre. Our guide to things to do in Altos de Chavón covers it in full.
Between the anchors lie the named villa neighbourhoods. Punta Águila and Vistamar run along the oceanfront, while Cajuiles and Barranca sit beside the golf. Las Cañas, El Polo and El Batey lie inland. Finally, Río Mar sits above the river and Punta Minitas and Jardín Minitas wrap around the beach. Each name on the map matters. After all, it is the difference between walking to the first tee and a fifteen-minute cart ride.
The Five Places You’ll Navigate To Most
Minitas Beach — the resort’s main beach and the Minitas Beach Club, on the coast directly south of the hotel core. Five minutes by cart from most central neighbourhoods.
The Marina — dinner, shopping, provisioning, and boat charters. From the hotel core, allow ten to twelve minutes by golf cart.
Altos de Chavón — evening strolls, gallery visits, amphitheatre concerts. Roughly seven minutes from the Marina, slightly more from the hotel side.
The golf courses — Teeth of the Dog and The Links spread west and centre. Meanwhile, Dye Fore plays along the Chavón gorge near Altos de Chavón. Confirm your course before you set off — they start from different clubhouses.
The supermarket — yes, navigating to groceries is a daily reality in a villa. See the logistics section below.
Getting Around: Golf Carts, Distances and Timing
The golf cart is the local default, because Casa de Campo is too big to walk. Most villas therefore include or rent a four- or six-seater. A few timings our guests find useful: hotel core to Minitas Beach is about five minutes. Hotel core to the Marina takes ten to twelve. Marina up to Altos de Chavón runs seven to eight. Lastly, a full crossing from the western entrance to the Marina takes around fifteen. Carts are street-legal on all internal roads. After dark, however, switch the lights on and allow a little longer, since residential roads are unlit.
If you would rather not drive, the resort runs a shuttle between the hotel, beach, Marina and Altos de Chavón. In addition, villa staff can arrange drivers for evenings out.
Everyday Logistics: Supermarket, Pharmacy and Medical
Groceries. The Supermercado Nacional at the Marina is a full supermarket, open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. It stocks fresh produce, a delicatessen, wine, and household basics. For arrival days, most of our guests skip the trip entirely. Instead, villa staff or our concierge pre-stock the kitchen before you land. Afterwards, grocery delivery to the villa can be arranged throughout your stay.
Pharmacy. The Marina also holds the resort’s pharmacy, in the same commercial cluster as the supermarket. It is practical for sunscreen-grade emergencies as well as prescriptions.
Medical. A medical office serves the resort near the hotel core. Meanwhile, La Romana’s main hospital is roughly twenty minutes away by car. Villa staff know the route; for anything urgent, tell them first — it is faster than navigating it yourself.
Room service and menus. Staffed villas work differently from hotel rooms, because your villa team cooks to order. Additionally, the concierge can arrange restaurant delivery from the Marina and hotel core — no printed room-service menu needed. Our complete dining guide covers every restaurant on the resort.

Mobile signal is good across the resort, but a stored copy beats hunting for one at the airport. Used together with the timings above, it answers the two questions every new guest asks. “How far is it?” And “can we take the cart?”
