Luxury Villa Rentals in the Dominican Republic
Where the private staffed villa, not the hotel strip, is the way to stay: 80+ houses inside Casa de Campo®, represented direct by the specialists since 2003
Why the Dominican Republic’s villa market lives at Casa de Campo®
Most people start a Dominican Republic search in Punta Cana, and most of what they find there is an all-inclusive hotel or a condo with a weekly cleaner. The private staffed villa, the house with its own cook, butler and housekeeping where a family or a group takes the whole place for a week, is a different product, and in the Dominican Republic it is concentrated in one place: Casa de Campo® Resort near La Romana, a 7,000-acre private community with three Pete Dye courses including Teeth of the Dog®, Minitas Beach, a full-service Marina and the hilltop village of Altos de Chavón. Caribbean Paradise Homes has represented villa owners there since 2003; the 80+ houses on this site are the ones we know room by room. Cap Cana, further east, has a smaller villa inventory and a younger resort; we compare the two honestly in our Casa de Campo® vs Cap Cana and vs Punta Cana guides.

The staffed-villa question, answered first
“Luxury villa” means different things along the Dominican coast. In Punta Cana it often means a house in a gated complex with a cleaner twice a week and the restaurants of a hotel next door. At Casa de Campo® it means a private home with staff who come with it: a housekeeper every day, a cook on villa hours, 8 am to 5 pm, for breakfast and lunch, and a butler at the larger houses. Dinner is by arrangement, groceries are billed at cost, and staff work 8am to 5pm, unless one sleeps at the villa. The resort around the house is private too: registered villa guests use Minitas Beach, the golf courses, the Marina and the restaurants, and pay the resort access fee of US$30 per adult and US$15 per child aged 4 to 12 per night. What a villa is not is all-inclusive; what it is, for a family or a group, is usually better value per person than two or three hotel suites, with a table of your own every evening.
Where in the Dominican Republic
Casa de Campo® sits on the south-east coast beside La Romana, with its own international airport (LRM) ten minutes from the villas and Punta Cana (PUJ) about fifty minutes by road, so you can use either. Inside the resort the villas are grouped by setting: Punta Minitas, Caleton and Costamar on the water, Punta Aguila on the cliffs, the Golf Villa phases, Las Palmas and Vistamar on the fairways, and Vista Chavón and Bahía Chavón above the river mouth and the Marina. Saona and Catalina islands are a boat trip; Santo Domingo’s colonial zone is a day out to the west.
The villa week
The arrival
A transfer from LRM or PUJ, the kitchen pre-stocked to your list, the butler showing everyone to their rooms and the golf carts at the door; the staff are there the next morning at eight.
The days
Teeth of the Dog® and the other two courses for the players, Minitas Beach and the beach club for the rest, tennis, the shooting center and the Equestrian Center for the ones who want something else.
The table
Breakfast and lunch by the cook, Dominican or what you ask for; dinner at the villa by arrangement or at the Marina, Altos de Chavón and the resort’s restaurants.
The days out
A boat to Saona or Catalina, the river up to Altos de Chavón’s amphitheatre, polo in season, and the colonial city of Santo Domingo for the one long day away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Punta Cana or Casa de Campo® better for a luxury villa?
For a staffed private villa, Casa de Campo®. Punta Cana’s strength is hotel inventory and flights; its villas are mostly in gated condo complexes without staff. Casa de Campo® has the Dominican Republic’s largest stock of private homes with cook, butler and housekeeping, inside a resort with three golf courses, a beach, a marina and a village. Punta Cana airport is about fifty minutes away, so you can fly into either.
Are Dominican Republic villas all-inclusive?
No. A villa comes with staff and the resort around it; food, drinks and excursions are extra and billed at cost or on consumption. For a family or a group that is usually cheaper per person than an all-inclusive suite, and the cook makes what you ask for.
What staff come with the villa?
A housekeeper daily, a cook on villa hours, 8 am to 5 pm, for breakfast and lunch, and a butler at the larger houses. Some villas add a villa manager, a bartender or a concierge; each listing says which. Staff work 8am to 5pm, unless a staff member sleeps at the villa.
What does a luxury villa in the Dominican Republic cost?
At Casa de Campo® from about US$600 a night for a small golf villa to US$13,800 for a twelve-bedroom beachfront estate, before the 18% service charge and the resort access fee. The full breakdown is in our pricing guide.
Which airport should we fly into?
La Romana (LRM) if there is a flight: it is ten minutes from the villa. Otherwise Punta Cana (PUJ), about fifty minutes by road, with the most flights from the US, Canada and Europe. Santo Domingo (SDQ) works too and is a longer drive to the west.
When is the best time to visit?
December to April for the driest weather and the busiest season; Christmas and New Year book a year ahead. May to November is warmer and quieter with lower rates; hurricane risk is highest from August to October, and our hurricane-season guide explains how we handle it.
Do we need a car?
Not inside the resort: each villa comes with golf carts, and the beach, golf, Marina and restaurants are a cart ride away. For Santo Domingo or the islands we arrange a driver or a boat.
Can we book directly with you?
Yes. Every villa on this site is booked direct with Caribbean Paradise Homes, with no platform fees and one agreement for the whole house. Send the dates and the group and we shortlist the right villas for you.
