  • The Luxury of Having No Schedule at Casa de Campo

    The Luxury of Having No Schedule at Casa de Campo

    The best family vacations do not require everyone to want the same day.

    Luxury family travel usually creates a contradiction. Everyone wants to travel together. Everyone also wants privacy, freedom, and the ability to spend the day entirely differently from everyone else. A block of hotel suites gives you the second at the cost of the first — you end up coordinating where to meet.

    A private estate resolves it, and at Costa Mar 10 the resolution is structural rather than aspirational. Six ensuite bedrooms mean nobody is negotiating for space or waking anyone up. The pool, the terraces, the dining areas and the oceanfront lawn are shared by default, so the family reconvenes without anyone having to organise it. There is no lobby to meet in and no hotel timetable arranging your day for you.

    Casa de Campo Is Not One Vacation. It Is Several, Running in Parallel.

    This is what makes a private estate matter more here than it would almost anywhere else. Casa de Campo is large enough that a family genuinely splits up during the day — and it rewards doing so.

    Golf at sunrise for some of the group. Others will head for the marina or the water after lunch. Someone will want the beach, someone else will want Altos de Chavón in the late afternoon light, and at least one person — usually the one who needed this trip most — will not leave the estate at all.

    None of that works well when the family is spread across separate hotel rooms and everything has to be arranged around a common schedule. It works beautifully when there is one place that belongs to you, and everyone knows that is where the day ends.

    Someone Has to Hold the Centre

    The reason a private estate stays restful rather than becoming a second job is the team. While everyone is experiencing Casa de Campo differently, the Costa Mar hospitality team is taking care of the estate itself.

    Your concierge coordinates the experiences you want. Your chef works around the day you choose rather than a service window. Your butlers and housekeeping team keep the estate running quietly in the background. The practical effect is that nobody in your family becomes the trip’s administrator — the role that quietly ruins a vacation for the person who ends up holding it.

    Everyone Comes Home to the Same Place

    At the end of the day, nobody returns to separate rooms on separate floors. The golfers, the boaters and the person who spent seven hours beside the pool all come back to the same private estate, and the evening happens on its own.

    Sometimes the greatest luxury is not having a schedule at all. Your day. Your way. Your private estate.

  • Why Private Dining Changes the Way You Vacation

    Why Private Dining Changes the Way You Vacation

    At a hotel, even exceptional dining usually begins with a decision: where to go, when to reserve, and what time everyone needs to be ready.

    At Costa Mar 10, dining works differently.

    Your private chef prepares meals around your family and your schedule. Breakfast can begin when everyone wakes up. Lunch can wait until the golfers come back from Teeth of the Dog. Dinner can be served inside, on the terrace, or beneath the Dominican sky.

    Breakfast When You Wake Up

    Nobody is watching the clock for the end of the breakfast service. The early risers eat early. The teenagers eat later. The coffee is ready either way.

    Meals are built around your family, not a hotel timetable.

    Lunch When You Come Home

    One group returns from the golf course. Another comes up from the water. Someone never left the pool. Lunch happens when the family is back together, wherever you feel like having it.

    Dinner Wherever You Want It

    Dinner does not begin with a reservation. It begins with your family deciding what it feels like having.

    Your private chef prepares the menu around your preferences. Your butlers set the table. Your hospitality team takes care of the details. And when the evening is over, nobody in your group is clearing anything away.

    The Point Is Not the Chef

    Plenty of beautiful villas can arrange a chef. The point at Costa Mar 10 is removing another layer of logistics from the vacation.

    Your butlers take care of the table. Housekeeping takes care of the estate. Your concierge coordinates the details before you arrive. The family never has to organize the meal, cook the meal, or think about what happens after the meal.

    That is the difference between renting a house with a kitchen and being taken care of in your own private home.

    Your Table. Your Time.

    At Costa Mar, your vacation does not revolve around the meal. The meal revolves around you.

    Your private chef. Your table. Your time.

  • When a Villa Becomes Your Home in Casa de Campo

    There is a moment during a great vacation when somewhere unfamiliar begins to feel like home.

    You stop asking what time breakfast is. You know where everyone likes to sit beside the pool. The children have their routine. Someone has claimed their favorite chair. The staff knows how you take your coffee. And nobody is thinking about checking into a hotel anymore.

    That is the private-estate difference.

    Costa Mar 10 gives one family or group an entire oceanfront residence inside Casa de Campo. Six ensuite bedrooms allow everyone privacy. The common spaces bring everyone together. And your hospitality team takes care of the estate while you experience Casa de Campo however you choose.

    Everyone Gets Their Own Vacation

    This matters especially for multigenerational families.

    One group can play golf. Another can head to the marina. Others can spend the afternoon beside the pool. Nobody needs to compromise simply because everyone traveled together.

    And later, everyone comes home.

    Service Without the Hotel

    Private-estate travel does not mean sacrificing service. Quite the opposite.

    At Costa Mar, the objective is to combine the privacy and freedom of having your own home with the hospitality expected by sophisticated travelers.

    Your chef. Your butlers. Your housekeeping team. Your concierge. People dedicated to your group rather than an entire hotel.

    The Luxury of Not Having to Think About the Details

    Some vacations are beautiful and still require work. Someone has to organize breakfast, coordinate dinner, make reservations, arrange transportation, plan golf, answer questions and keep the family moving.

    At Costa Mar 10, we believe luxury should feel different.

    The private-estate experience is not simply about having more space. It is about giving your family its time back. Your chef can prepare meals at home. Your butlers and housekeeping team care for the estate. Your concierge helps coordinate the experiences that make Casa de Campo extraordinary.

    That is the difference between renting a beautiful house and being taken care of in your own private home.

    The Real Luxury

    The most valuable thing Costa Mar gives you is not another amenity. It is control over your time.

    Wake up when you want. Eat when you want. Go where you want. Stay home if you want. And spend your vacation with the people you came to see.

    This is not where you stay. This is how you live.

  • The Most Valuable Luxury at Costa Mar 10 Isn’t Something You Can See

    Beautiful architecture matters. An oceanfront setting matters. A private pool matters.

    But after a few days at Costa Mar 10, guests often experience something even more valuable:

    Not having to think about everything.

    Luxury travel can still require an extraordinary amount of work.

    Where are we eating tonight? Who’s making the reservation? What does everyone want for breakfast? How are we getting there? What time is golf? Can someone arrange a boat? What are the children doing? Who’s getting groceries?

    At Costa Mar 10, those questions don’t have to become your job.

    Your Private Team

    Your chef can prepare meals at home. Your butlers help take care of your day. Your housekeeping team maintains the estate. Your concierge can coordinate experiences throughout Casa de Campo.

    And everyone can vacation differently.

    Some members of the family can play golf while others spend the afternoon at the pool. Another group can head to the marina.

    Then everyone comes home.

    That’s the Estate Difference

    Casa de Campo offers an extraordinary range of experiences across its 7,000 acres, including golf, marina, beaches, spa, equestrian activities and more.

    Costa Mar gives you something at the center of all of it: your own home. And a team waiting for you when you return.

    That’s why we don’t think of Costa Mar 10 simply as a luxury villa.

    It’s a fully staffed private oceanfront estate.

    And sometimes the greatest luxury is knowing somebody else has already thought about the details.

    Now welcoming reservations for September 2026 through February 2027.

  • The Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing at Costa Mar 10

    Some vacations become exhausting before they even begin.

    Flights. Transportation. Restaurant reservations. Grocery shopping. Tee times. Activities. Trying to coordinate everyone in the family.

    Luxury should feel different.

    At Costa Mar 10, we believe one of the greatest luxuries isn’t having more things to do. It’s having fewer things you have to think about.

    Your Costa Mar experience begins before you arrive. Our concierge can help coordinate your transportation, restaurants, golf, boating, excursions and special experiences.

    Once you’re home, your private chef can take care of meals. Your butlers and housekeeping team take care of the estate. And two six-passenger golf carts make exploring Casa de Campo easy.

    Costa Mar’s current experience is intentionally built around this idea of effortless travel, from chef-prepared dining and discreet staffing to airport transfers, golf coordination, yacht charters and curated experiences.

    So What Do You Have to Do?

    Very little.

    Wake up overlooking the Caribbean. Have breakfast when you’re ready. Play Teeth of the Dog. Spend the afternoon on the water. Have lunch beside the pool. Return from golf and discover dinner is already being prepared.

    Or don’t leave Costa Mar at all.

    A Different Kind of Weekend

    For families and friends accustomed to exceptional hotels, a private estate changes the rhythm of travel.

    There are no separate rooms on different floors. There is no crowded pool. There is no restaurant reservation required simply to have dinner together.

    Your family has an entire home.

    And perhaps most importantly, your time belongs to you again.

    That’s the Costa Mar 10 experience.

  • What Does a Stay at a Fully Staffed Private Villa in Casa de Campo Actually Include?

    There is an important difference between renting a luxury villa and arriving at a private estate where virtually every element of your vacation has already been considered.

    At Costa Mar 10, we believe the greatest luxury is not simply having more. It is having less to worry about.

    Located oceanfront within Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, Costa Mar 10 combines the privacy and space of a six-bedroom private residence with a dedicated hospitality team serving your family or group throughout the stay.

    Your Vacation Begins at the Airport

    For many guests, the experience begins before they ever reach Casa de Campo.

    Airport arrival assistance and private transportation can be coordinated so that the transition from aircraft to villa is as effortless as possible.

    Rather than beginning your vacation figuring out transportation, luggage and logistics, everything can be arranged before you arrive.

    Your Own Private Hospitality Team

    Costa Mar 10 is fully staffed. Your dedicated team includes private chef service, butlers, housekeeping, concierge assistance, pool service and groundskeeping.

    Unlike a hotel, these individuals aren’t looking after hundreds of guests. They are there to help create the experience for your family and your guests.

    Dining Designed Around You

    One of the pleasures of staying in a private villa is deciding when, where and how you would like to dine.

    Breakfast overlooking the Caribbean. Lunch beside the pool. Dinner prepared for the entire family. Or an evening enjoying one of Casa de Campo’s restaurants.

    Your stay can be organized around your preferences rather than a hotel schedule.

    Casa de Campo Without the Logistics

    Golf. Boating. Restaurants. Excursions. Celebrations. Activities.

    Our concierge can work with guests before arrival to understand how they would like to spend their vacation and assist in coordinating the details.

    Costa Mar 10 also provides two six-passenger golf carts, making it easy for guests to move around Casa de Campo throughout their stay.

    A Different Kind of Luxury

    Costa Mar 10 isn’t intended to feel like a hotel. And it isn’t simply a house.

    It is designed to provide something increasingly difficult to find in luxury travel: privacy, space, extraordinary surroundings and personalized service, all in one place.

    The result is a vacation where your family can settle into its own rhythm.

    No lobby. No crowded pool. No need to coordinate multiple hotel rooms.

    Just your family, your guests and your own private oceanfront estate in Casa de Campo.

    Costa Mar 10 is currently accepting reservations from September 2026 through February 2027.

  • When Getting Away Is the Luxury

    Luxury travel has traditionally been associated with more.

    More space. More amenities. More activities. More choices.

    But for many travelers today, the most valuable part of a vacation may be exactly the opposite.

    Less. Fewer decisions. Fewer schedules. Fewer responsibilities. Fewer reasons to look at the phone.

    And more time with the people who matter.

    Welcome to the Weekend

    Imagine arriving at Costa Mar 10 after a long week.

    The Caribbean is outside. Your luggage is in your room. The villa is prepared. The refrigerator is stocked. Dinner is being handled by your private chef.

    And tomorrow morning there is nowhere you have to be.

    That’s a very different definition of luxury.

    A Private Estate That Lets You Disconnect

    Costa Mar 10 combines the privacy of a private oceanfront residence with a dedicated hospitality team.

    Every stay includes a private chef, two butlers, two housekeepers, concierge, pool team and groundskeeper. Food, groceries and non-alcoholic beverages are included, excluding liquor. Two six-passenger golf carts allow guests to explore Casa de Campo whenever they choose.

    But nothing says they have to.

    Do Everything or Nothing

    Casa de Campo offers extraordinary experiences. Golf. Boating. Dining. Beaches. Tennis. Excursions. Our concierge can help arrange them all.

    But one of the beautiful things about staying at Costa Mar 10 is knowing that an extraordinary day can also consist of breakfast overlooking the Caribbean, an afternoon around the pool, dinner at home and drinks as the sun goes down.

    No itinerary required.

    The Luxury of Time

    Properties can be photographed. Service can be described. But the feeling of having nowhere else you need to be is harder to capture.

    That’s what we want guests to take home. Not simply memories of where they stayed. Memories of the time they spent together.

  • Frictionless Luxury: When the Vacation Begins Before You Arrive

    The greatest luxury on vacation isn’t necessarily something you can photograph.

    Sometimes it’s simply the absence of friction.

    No airport confusion. No grocery shopping. No searching for transportation. No figuring out dinner. No trying to make reservations after you’ve arrived. No wondering whom to call when you’d like to arrange something special.

    At Costa Mar 10, we believe a truly exceptional private-villa experience should remove those responsibilities rather than simply provide a beautiful place to stay.

    From the Moment You Arrive

    Travel days can often be the least relaxing part of a vacation. That’s why the Costa Mar 10 experience can begin immediately upon arrival.

    Guests receive VIP Arrival Service and are escorted to a private VIP lounge while customs and immigration formalities are handled and their luggage is collected. Once everything is complete, private transportation is waiting to take the group directly to Costa Mar 10 at Casa de Campo.

    Instead of arriving exhausted from navigating an unfamiliar airport and arranging transportation, guests can begin transitioning into vacation mode immediately.

    A Private Estate That’s Already Prepared for You

    Once guests arrive at Costa Mar 10, they aren’t simply handed the keys to a beautiful house. They’re welcomed by a hospitality team.

    Every stay includes a private chef, two butlers, two housekeepers, a dedicated concierge, pool team and groundskeeper. Food, groceries and non-alcoholic beverages are included during the stay, excluding liquor. Two six-passenger golf carts are also available for exploring Casa de Campo.

    The result is a different kind of villa experience. Guests have the privacy of their own oceanfront estate without having to manage the responsibilities that normally come with occupying a private residence.

    Your Vacation, Personalized Before You Arrive

    Frictionless doesn’t mean generic. In fact, we believe the opposite.

    Before arrival, our concierge can work with guests to understand what they want from their time at Casa de Campo. Golf. Boating. Restaurants. Excursions. Family activities. Celebrations. Quiet days at the villa. Special dinners.

    The itinerary can be as active or as relaxed as the guest chooses. The difference is that much of the planning can happen before the vacation begins.

    Time Is the Real Luxury

    Ultimately, that’s what we’re trying to give our guests. Time.

    Time with family. Time with friends. Time around the pool. Time over dinner. Time doing absolutely nothing.

    A vacation shouldn’t create another list of responsibilities.

    Your clients arrive. We handle the rest.

  • The Luxury of Not Having to Ask

    Luxury travel has changed. For years, luxury was primarily defined by what a traveler could see: a larger villa, a more beautiful pool, a better view or a more prestigious destination. Those things still matter. But increasingly, the greatest luxury is something much less visible.

    Having someone else take care of the details. At Costa Mar 10, that philosophy shapes the entire guest experience.

    A Private Estate With a Hospitality Team

    Costa Mar 10 offers the privacy of a private oceanfront residence while providing the service guests would expect from exceptional luxury hospitality. Every stay includes a private chef, two butlers, two housekeepers, a dedicated concierge, pool team and groundskeeper. The team isn’t there simply to respond when something is requested. The goal is to anticipate. Breakfast should be ready when the family wants breakfast. The villa should be refreshed while guests are enjoying their day. Dinner should feel effortless. A favorite drink should become familiar. And tomorrow’s plans should already be organized.

    Your Private Chef

    Food is one of the experiences families remember most from traveling together. At Costa Mar 10, guests don’t need to leave the villa every evening to have an exceptional dining experience. Their private chef can prepare meals specifically for the group, allowing breakfast, lunch or dinner to become part of the experience of staying at the estate. Food, groceries and non-alcoholic beverages are included during the stay, excluding liquor. That allows guests to enjoy the villa without turning every meal into another transaction.

    Service Without Losing Privacy

    Great service should never overwhelm the guest. Our butlers, housekeepers and concierge are available to make the stay easier while allowing guests to enjoy the privacy that made them choose a private villa in the first place. That’s an important distinction. Costa Mar 10 isn’t trying to recreate a hotel inside a house. We’re creating a private residence with exceptional hospitality surrounding it.

    The Vacation Begins at Arrival

    The experience can begin before guests even reach the villa.

    Our included VIP Arrival Service allows guests to be escorted to a private VIP lounge while customs and immigration formalities are handled and their luggage is collected. Private transportation then takes them directly to Costa Mar 10. Once at Casa de Campo, two six-passenger golf carts are available with the villa. Our concierge can assist with restaurants, golf, boating, excursions, celebrations and personalized activities before and throughout the stay.

    The Details Guests Remember

    Sometimes the most memorable parts of luxury travel aren’t the grandest. It’s walking outside in the morning and finding coffee waiting. It’s coming back from an afternoon at the beach and discovering everything has already been prepared for dinner. It’s not having to make reservations because the concierge already did. It’s having everyone together around the same table while someone else worries about everything else. That’s the experience we want Costa Mar 10 guests to remember.
