La Romana, Dominican Republic
One of the most popular vacation destinations in the Dominican Republic, La Romana features elegant hotels and resorts flanked by suburbs with sprawling mansions camouflaged by trees. One of the town’s hot spots is Casa de Campo, a tropical resort where sun, fun, and relaxation are the top priorities. Here, you’ll find charming sights such as The Marina, resembling the ancient Italian fishing village of Portofino, and Altos de Chavon, replicating a 17th-century Spanish town. You can also browse upscale shops and galleries, choose from countless restaurants and bars, and see big-name entertainers in a 5,000-seat Grecian amphitheater. And if your idea of true relaxation is hitting the links, you’ll find three championship golf courses, including “Teeth of the Dog,” one of the top-ranked in the world.
