The luxury resort of Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic has broken ground on a $90 million building project designed to enhance the facilities and room options at the resort.

Sixty-four new 76 m2 (818 square foot) junior suite & Presidential suite rooms will be equipped with the latest technology and luxurious amenities. The new rooms will be located in 4 two storey buildings and offer breath-taking views overlooking the golf course.

 

Meanwhile, a new state of the art destination spa & wellness centre will enjoy tranquil views over the central lake. Covering 1,700 m2 (18,300 square feet) the new building will include world-class facilities such as a hydrotherapy area, cabins for specialised treatments, relaxation areas, café & juice bar and bridal suite.

The new facilities will be open in time for the start of the Winter 2022 season.

The resort, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022, is known for its continued investment in world class facilities. A new conference centre opened in 2019, while a new family pool area, beach club, restaurants and golf learning centre were opened in 2018. Some of the existing hotel rooms were also upgraded at that time.

Luis Abinader, President of the Dominican Republic attended the ground breaking ceremony to the mark the start of the project and commented “The amount of investment in tourism, industry, commerce, & free zones, which will begin in 2022, is an absolutely unprecedented event in the history of the Dominican Republic. It shows the projections and optimism that is reflected in the hotel investment and tourism sectors.”

Andrés Pichardo, President of Casa de Campo Resort commented: “In these almost 50 years, Casa de Campo Resort has been one of the pioneers of traditional tourism and real estate in the country. We are very proud to continue developing this vision and to continue adding the numerous first-class services and facilities that highlight our resort among the most emblematic of the Caribbean.” 

“With these investments we continue to increase the value and quality of our resort, reaffirming that our exclusive offer of services satisfies the demand of the most demanding visitor, and we continue to be a benchmark as a tourist destination,” highlighted Pichardo.

The legendary five star resort, located on the south eastern corner of the Dominican Republic, currently offers 247 hotel rooms and suites in addition to numerous luxury villas with private pools, maids, & butlers, and are ideal for family retreats, golf getaways, or to enjoy the privacy of a villa experience.

Another highlight is Altos de Chavón – modelled on a 16th century village and offering boutique shops, museums, art galleries and a 5,000-seat Grecian-style amphitheatre inaugurated by Frank Sinatra in 1982.
