La Romana offers golf, tennis, horseback riding and sightseeing at Altos de Chavon, a cliff-side replica of a 16th century Spanish village. Along the cobblestone streets and hidden in the numerous shaded courtyards of Altos De Chavon, visitors will find a tantalizing array of art galleries and shops. La Romana is the nearest point from which to embark on a trip to the islands of Saona and Catalina, world renowned for excellent snorkeling and diving. There are three golf courses open to the general public in La Romana, all operated by Casa de Campo: The Links, Dye Fore and Pete Dye's famous Teeth of the Dog, where eight of the course's holes skirt the edge of the magnificent Caribbean coast.

La Romana is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the Caribbean, with breathtaking beaches and green mountains, extraordinary resorts and a rich colonial history. Beach lovers come for the endless stretches of pure, white beaches and history buffs find unending pleasure in nearby Santo Domingo's 16th century Colonial Zone. La Romana is an excellent choice for rest and relaxation vacations, honeymoons, family holidays, family reunions, active travelers, scuba divers and golfers.
