Villa Splendor
Description
The island arranges itself in front of you when you stand on the terrace at Villa Splendor: Teeth of the Dog’s emerald ribbons fall to the Caribbean’s impossible blue, trade winds move the palms like a slow conversation, and the pool’s sleek line appears to take its color from the sea.
This modernist statement home, created by Casa de Campo’s top architectural team, substitutes proportion and light for ornamentation. It features planes of cool gray quartz underfoot, floor-to-ceiling glass that leans into the panorama, and soft beige and pale-green tones lifted by natural wood to keep the eye on what really matters—the horizon. Designed for families and friends who desire hotel-level elegance with the intimacy and seclusion that only a unique home can provide, this villa lives as exquisitely as it looks.
At Villa Splendor, days go by as the sun rises. The pool is warm enough for a long, leisurely swim by late morning, and everyone congregates on the terrace under a breeze. Mornings start with espresso in the gazebo while the fairways wake below. The great room transforms into an open pavilion when a glass wall is slid; light travels across quartz and wood, and the soundtrack shrinks to palms and water.
A tasting menu seems as natural as pancakes for early tee times because the kitchen operates like a chef’s studio with professional appliances, sensible prep flow, and real cold storage. Evenings drift to the upper terrace, where the drama of the 18th hole and the sea coexist in the frame; music settles low, lanterns cast gentle circles on the stone, and conversation stretches because there’s nothing else to do.
Rest becomes a ritual in six private bedrooms. Each of the two grand master suites on the second floor has cedar-lined walk-ins, sleek en suite bathrooms with ample showers, in-room safes, TVs, and music systems so you can adjust the mood to the hour.
The suites open to an expansive sea-and-golf terrace. Four guest suites on the garden level, including a third master with views of the ocean and course, reflect that comfort with floor-to-ceiling glass, spa-bright gray quartz baths, and a quiet climate control that works in tandem with ceiling fans to ensure restful, long nights. Between, living areas double down on comfort: a sun-filled salon for lengthy conversations, a shaded outdoor dining area that keeps lunch breezy, and palms tall enough to read as architecture—privacy without sacrificing a sense of location.
Villa Splendor is one of the Casa de Campo villas that sets the standard for how seamlessly modern design can blend into resort life.
Everything that draws you to Casa de Campo is conveniently close by. Altos de Chavón and Dye Fore are 15–20 minutes above the Río Chavón canyon when golden hour demands stone lanes and gallery light; Minitas Beach and the beach club’s serene, swimmable water are about 5–10 minutes away; the Teeth of the Dog clubhouse and spa are roughly the same; the Marina’s restaurants and yacht charters run 10–15 minutes along signed, fully paved boulevards.
ATMs, pharmacies, and groceries are concentrated at the Marina (10–15 minutes), with more extensive options in La Romana town (15–20 minutes by car). Place Villa Splendor on the map near Minitas at roughly 18.41° N, 68.91° W, along Casa de Campo’s oceanfront golf belt. Arrivals are easy: Depending on traffic, it usually takes 10 to 15 minutes from La Romana International Airport (LRM), 50 to 60 minutes from Punta Cana (PUJ), and 75 to 90 minutes from Santo Domingo’s Las Américas (SDQ).
A private SUV transfer is the simplest way to begin, and once you’re settled in, a golf cart is perfect for beach, tennis, and marina hops. The last one to two kilometers inside the resort follow level, clearly marked lanes.
In the end, Villa Splendor’s tournament-edge vantage—an architectural, glass-forward home designed to frame both Teeth of the Dog and the open Caribbean—is what sets it apart from similar Casa de Campo villas. It offers a cinematic panorama with the seclusion of lush, mature gardens.
