THE CARIBBEAN’S MOST ICONIC COMMUNITY
Few Caribbean addresses combine golf, marina life, beach access, and family-scale homes as coherently as Casa de Campo. It is that mix, and the ease with which it comes together here, that gives the community its weight.
High above the winding Chavón River, a stone village rises from the hillside as if it had been there for centuries. Cobblestone paths wind through coral-stone buildings, iron lanterns glow against weathered walls, and terraces reveal sweeping views across the Dominican landscape.
This is Altos de Chavón, one of the Caribbean’s most remarkable cultural landmarks.
The village was envisioned in the 1970s as an artists’ community inspired by the romantic hill towns of the Mediterranean, particularly places such as Saint‑Paul‑de‑Vence.
Designed by Italian artist and designer Roberto Coppa, the village was constructed using local stone, much of it excavated during the building of the nearby bridge over the Chavón River. Beginning in 1976, Dominican craftsmen gradually transformed the hillside into what appears today to be a centuries-old European village.
At the heart of Altos de Chavón stands its most iconic space: the Altos de Chavón Amphitheater, a dramatic 5,000-seat open-air theater carved into the hillside.
When the amphitheater opened in 1982, Frank Sinatra inaugurated the stage with the legendary Concert for the Americas. Since then, artists from around the world have performed here, making it one of the Caribbean’s most unique concert venues.
Altos de Chavón was always intended to be more than architecture. It was created as a center for art and creativity.
In 1983, the Altos de Chavón School of Design opened in partnership with Parsons School of Design, attracting students from across the Dominican Republic and beyond.
Today, artists still work in studios throughout the village, concerts fill the amphitheater under the Caribbean sky, and visitors wander the same stone streets that were imagined nearly half a century ago.
What began as a vision on a rocky hillside has become one of the most distinctive cultural destinations in the Caribbean.
Within Casa de Campo Resort & Villas, a harbor village unfolds in soft pastel colors and quiet Caribbean light.
Yachts line the docks. Waterfront terraces overlook the marina. Palm trees frame promenades where cafés and restaurants open toward the water.
This is the Casa de Campo Marina, a Mediterranean-inspired harbor that has become one of the most vibrant gathering places within Casa de Campo.
The marina was designed as a harbor village inspired by the intimate ports of the Mediterranean, where architecture, waterfront living, and daily life revolve around the sea.
Architects looked to coastal towns such as Portofino, where colorful facades surround sheltered harbors and terraces overlook the boats below.
Pastel buildings curve around the basin, arcaded walkways offer shade from the Caribbean sun, and balconies open toward the water, creating the feeling of a seaside village rather than a traditional marina.
Today the marina is the largest in the Dominican Republic, with more than 300 slips welcoming vessels from sport-fishing boats to large private yachts.
Many of the surrounding residences feature private docks, allowing homeowners to step directly from their terrace onto their boat.
Restaurants, cafés, and boutiques line the waterfront promenade, making the marina not only a destination for yachting, but also one of the social centers of Casa de Campo.
As the day fades and lights begin to reflect across the calm basin, the marina settles into the relaxed rhythm that defines life by the sea.
