Christmas and New Year in Casa de Campo: How to Book a Villa

The holidays are the busiest stretch of the year in Casa de Campo. Families return, groups fly in from several cities, and the resort fills its calendar with concerts, family events and fireworks.

Booking a villa for these dates works differently from the rest of the year. Payment terms are stricter, and each owner sets a minimum stay. This guide covers what you need to know for the 2026-2027 season.

When to Book

As early as you can. Each villa takes one group per date, and holiday weeks are the first to go. If you are reading this in November, move now: the choice narrows every week.

Two things speed up the process. First, have your exact dates and the number of guests (adults and children) ready. Second, decide early who in your group pays and signs. Holiday bookings move fast, and a villa is not held without payment.

Minimum Stays

Almost every villa has a minimum number of nights over the holidays. There is no resort-wide rule: each owner sets the minimum, and it can differ between Christmas week and New Year week for the same house.

We confirm the minimum for your exact dates with the owner before sending an option, so you never compare homes you cannot book.

Payment Terms for Holiday Dates

Holiday and high-season dates follow stricter terms than the rest of the year:

• Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Easter week, and all of December and January: 100% payment in advance to confirm the booking.
• Holiday cancellations: no refund within the 60 days before check-in.
• Outside high season, for comparison: a 50% deposit holds the dates, and the remaining 50% payment is due no later than one week before arrival.

What Happens at the Resort Over the Holidays

As of November 10, 2026, Casa de Campo has not published its full holiday program. The resort's events calendar lists a Christmas Tree Lighting on December 5, 2026, plus Night Golf on December 4 and a champagne tasting on December 4 and 5. There is no New Year's Eve program yet. Check the resort's events page as the dates get closer.

To give you an idea of the season, this is what the resort reported for the 2025 holidays:

The 2026 lineup may be different.

Restaurants

The resort's restaurants include Lago and La Caña at the hotel, SBG, Causa and La Casita at the Marina, La Piazzetta and Chilango at Altos de Chavón, and the Minitas Beach Club. For Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, reserve as soon as you know your plans. See our restaurant guide for more.

Golf

Casa de Campo has three Pete Dye courses: Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore (27 holes) and The Links. Teeth of the Dog reopened in December 2025 after a full restoration. Its tee times are reserved for registered resort guests, villa owners, residents and their accompanying friends, and the resort currently does not accept outside play.

Tee times are booked based on availability, and replay rounds cannot be booked in advance. Cancellations within 24 hours carry a 100% penalty. Over the holidays, send us your golfers' names and preferred days with your villa request. More in our Teeth of the Dog guide.

Flights and Airports

La Romana International Airport (LRM) is the resort's own airport, five minutes from check-in according to Casa de Campo. It receives direct and seasonal international flights, plus charters. Routes change from one winter to the next, so check this season's schedules with the airlines before you plan around LRM.

Santo Domingo (SDQ) and Punta Cana (PUJ) are the two alternatives. The resort lists each at 50 minutes away: from Santo Domingo via Autopista Las Américas, from Punta Cana via Autovía del Coral. Leave margin on arrival day. There is also helicopter service from Santo Domingo to the Casa de Campo heliport.

Book flights early, together with the villa, since full payment is due upfront. See how to get to Casa de Campo.

Tips for Large Groups

• Count beds, not bedrooms. Send the real list: couples, children, anyone who needs their own room. It decides which villas work.
• One person coordinates. A single contact for payment and decisions avoids delays when a villa is in demand.
• Plan the two big nights early. Decide where you will have Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve dinner, and reserve or arrange a private chef ahead of time.
• Ask what is included. Staff, golf carts and services vary by villa. We confirm them for your dates.
