La Romana's Absolute Essentials

La Romana features a mix of Pete Dye-designed golf courses, including the renowned Teeth of the Dog, and the Mediterranean-inspired architecture of Altos de Chavón. This 16th-century style village overlooks the Chavón River, a filming location for Apocalypse Now. The area also includes Tabacalera de Garcia, one of the world's largest hand-rolled cigar factories. Coastal highlights range from the resort-style Minitas Beach to the local seafood stalls at Caleta Beach, while the Aldea Cultural Santa Rosa provides insight into regional art within a historic former fortress.
