Carretera La Romana - Higuey Hwy, La Romana, La Romana Province 22000, Dominican Republic
 

Casa de Campo is a 7,000-acre resort and gated community. This is where the Bride & Groom are staying, and where all of the wedding events will take place. Casa de Campo requires that everyone attending the wedding stay at the resort for a minimum of three nights AND book through either our room block or directly through Casa de Campo. Please note that guests who book through Airbnb or VRBO will not be permitted to attend wedding events. Please book your stay through our booking website at: www.barefootbridal.com/carolinebrian

Flight

PUJ & SDQ Airports

There are two international airports nearby: Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ): 1 hour away from Casa de Campo Las Américas International Airport (SDQ): 1 hour & 10 minutes away from Casa de Campo The resort is relatively equidistant to both, so we recommend that you choose the best flight available as both airports are equally convenient. From there, transportation can be arranged directly to Casa de Campo either through our Travel Agent or Casa de Campo.

Travel Note

Airport Shuttle

Please ensure you have arranged airport shuttle transportation. Casa de Campo does not allow unregistered vehicles onto their property. Book your airport shuttle either directly with our travel agent or Casa de Campo.

Rental Car

Golf Carts

All reservations at the hotel come with golf carts and this is the go-to means of transportation within Casa de Campo. We recommend a shuttle to and from the airport.
