La Romana Strengthens Casa de Campo®’s Position as the Most Seamless Gateway in Dominican Golf Travel

In Caribbean golf travel, air access is rarely the headline. Yet it often determines how easily a premium product converts from proposal to confirmation.

For decades, Punta Cana has functioned as the Dominican Republic’s primary international gateway. It is well connected, widely recognised and operationally familiar to tour operators. As a result, most golf itineraries have traditionally been routed through it — even when the final destination lies elsewhere.

This model works. But it is another fluid option.

A historical connection redefined

There was a time when aircraft landed directly within Casa de Campo Resort & Villas itself. The original La Romana runway extended inside the resort grounds, concluding near the 18th hole of Teeth of the Dog. Arrival was integrated into the overall experience.

As the destination expanded, the airport relocated beyond the resort perimeter to allow for greater operational capacity and international growth. Today, La Romana International Airport operates just minutes from the resort entrance — outside the complex, yet immediately adjacent, and designed to handle increasing global connectivity.

The relocation did not create distance. It created scale.

The operational reality for agencies

In long-haul golf travel, the issue is rarely transfer time alone. The issue is perception.

Premium clients expect immediacy. They expect the transition from aircraft to resort to feel effortless. Extended road transfers — even reasonable ones — subtly interrupt that expectation.

When selling high-end golf experiences, the challenge is not the product. Casa de Campo remains one of the Caribbean’s most complete golf and lifestyle destinations. The challenge lies in minimising friction within the buying decision.

A closer airport changes that dynamic.

Practical impact on the sales process

La Romana’s proximity translates into measurable advantages for the trade:

• Faster resort access upon arrival.
• Greater flexibility for same-day play on morning flights.
• Reduced fatigue after transatlantic travel.
• Cleaner positioning in proposals and presentations.
• For agencies, simplified logistics strengthen confidence at the quoting stage.
  For clients, the premium perception begins immediately upon landing.

Winter 2026: strengthened international connectivity

For the upcoming winter season, La Romana reinforces its international route network with direct air connections from key golf markets including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy.

Improved connectivity combined with immediate proximity positions Casa de Campo as not only iconic — but operationally efficient.

In a competitive Caribbean landscape, where Punta Cana remains the automatic choice for many itineraries, La Romana presents a strategic alternative: closer to the resort, simpler to position, and aligned with the expectations of premium golf travellers.
