Playa Nueva Romana Real Estate

Villas, townhouses and condos in Grupo Piñero’s planned coastal community between San Pedro de Macorís and La Romana, where PGA Ocean’s 4, a beach club and two Bahia Principe hotels share one address.

Between San Pedro de Macorís & La Romana

A Coast Drawn to Plan

Golf, beach and residences conceived as a single community, and closer to Santo Domingo than the resorts further east.

Playa Nueva Romana is the residential and resort community of Grupo Piñero, the Spanish tourism group behind Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts. It lies off the Autovía del Este at Km 12 of the San Pedro–La Romana highway, which the group places about 100 km east of Santo Domingo and 30 km from La Romana.

The scale is generous: more than 600 hectares, by press accounts. Within it lie over a mile of beach by the group’s measure, an exclusive beach club, two Bahia Principe hotels it rates five-star, and PGA Ocean’s 4, a 27-hole facility it presents as the only course in the Dominican Republic affiliated with the PGA of America.

It is a distinct address from Casa de Campo, east of La Romana, and from La Estancia, the golf community on the Chavón River. Here the residential and resort sides sit next to each other: the hotels are neighbors, and their facilities are not automatically part of owning a home.

Inside the Community

Neighborhoods & Residential Projects

Security, sand, golf and hospitality, organized around one master plan.

01

Security

Private security, patrols, drones and facial-recognition cameras at controlled entrances and exits, all overseen from a 24-hour monitoring center, as the developer describes it.

02

Beach

More than a mile of beach by the developer’s measure, with an exclusive beach club.

03

Golf

PGA Ocean’s 4 pairs an 18-hole par-72 course with a 9-hole par-27 course; four holes play along the Caribbean.

04

Hospitality

Two Bahia Principe resorts form the community’s hotel side.

The residential side offers real range. Grupo Piñero markets the Cies, Arrecife, Saman, Borneo and Barbados villa projects, apartments at Eden Garden and The Lake Luxury Condos, and the Sotavento Beach Townhouses. For most buyers, the choice comes down to four settings.

  1. 01

    Beachfront

    Homes close to the sand and the beach club.

  2. 02

    Golf Setting

    Residences framed by the fairways and lakes of PGA Ocean’s 4.

  3. 03

    Apartments & Condos

    Apartment living at Eden Garden and The Lake Luxury Condos.

  4. 04

    Townhouses

    Townhouses by the beach at Sotavento.

The Lifestyle

Living in Playa Nueva Romana

Golf & Beach in One Community. PGA Ocean’s 4 and the beach club both lie within the community, so a morning round and an afternoon by the sea can share the same day without leaving the community.

Everyday services. Day-to-day shopping and dining are on site: a supermarket, a shopping area and several restaurants on the developer’s list. For everything else, La Romana and San Pedro de Macorís are the nearest cities.

Hotels as neighbors. The two Bahia Principe resorts bring a hotel rhythm to the community. Their restaurants and pools belong to the hotels, though, and are not part of owning a home unless a property’s terms say so.

Travel times. Three airports are within reach: La Romana in about 20 minutes, Las Américas in Santo Domingo in about 45 minutes and Punta Cana in about an hour, by the developer’s estimates.

Key Highlights

  • Bahia Principe Resorts

    Two all-inclusive neighbors: Bahia Principe Explore La Romana for families and friends, and the adults-only Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville.

  • Sports & Leisure

    Padel, pickleball, petanque and footgolf, plus a sports center, spa and gym on the developer’s amenity list.

Golf

PGA Ocean’s 4

PGA Ocean’s 4 has 27 holes laid out by Maverick Golf: an 18-hole par-72 course and a 9-hole par-27 course, with four holes running along the Caribbean Sea. The name comes from the PGA of America, which announced the branding and an on-site PGA of America Academy in 2021.

Grupo Piñero presents it as the only course in the Dominican Republic affiliated with the PGA of America. Recognition came in 2025 from IAGTO: Best Golf Course in the Americas, in the developer’s words, and Golf Course of the Year at IAGTO’s North America Convention, as trade press reported it.

Beach & Beach Club

The Beach & Beach Club

The shoreline is the community’s calling card: over a mile of beach by the developer’s account, more than 2.5 km by Diario Libre’s, and an exclusive beach club.

As everywhere in the Dominican Republic, the beach itself is public by law. The beach club is another matter: its facilities follow the community’s own rules.

Hospitality

Bahia Principe Resorts

The resort side of the community belongs to Bahia Principe. Bahia Principe Explore La Romana is geared to families and friends, while Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville is for adults only. Both are all-inclusive, and the developer rates them five-star.

More is planned. Grupo Piñero’s chief executive has said the group is studying a third hotel in the community, its details still to be defined. Work on Marina Park, a 4,500 m² park with a chapel and a water feature rather than a boat marina, began in March 2025 by press accounts. Until they open, both remain plans.

Investment Case

Investing in Playa Nueva Romana

Ongoing Development

New villa and apartment projects come to market alongside completed homes, so buyers can choose between a finished property and pre-construction. Each project sets its own delivery schedule.

Hotels On Site

Two operating resorts bring visitors to the community. Their presence is no promise of rental income for a private home; that depends on the property, its rental rules and any program attached to it.

Before You Buy

Community Access vs Hotel Access

Owning here means living beside two hotels, not inside them. Golf, the beach club and the resorts’ restaurants and pools are not automatically part of a home, and the developer’s services page describes the amenities without setting out owners’ access terms or fees. Those terms, like community fees, rental rules and any rental program, are specific to each property, so ask for them in writing before you commit.

Before you buy, confirm in writing

  1. Golf, beach-club and hotel access for the specific property, and the fees for each
  2. Community fees, what they cover and how they have changed
  3. Rental rules for the property and any rental-program terms
  4. For pre-construction: delivery date, payment schedule and any guarantees
  5. Title and permits, reviewed by independent Dominican counsel
  6. The project’s CONFOTUR resolution, if it is marketed with the incentive
  7. Healthcare and schooling options, if you plan to live here full time

Playa Nueva Romana FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Not automatically. The two Bahia Principe resorts are hotel facilities, and the developer does not publish owners' access terms for them, so what a specific property includes, if anything, should be set out in writing.

Not automatically. PGA Ocean's 4 and the beach club are both inside the community, but the developer's website does not publish membership, green fees or club terms. Get them in writing for the specific home.

Grupo Piñero, the Spanish tourism group Pablo Piñero founded in 1977 and the company behind Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts. Its website presents the villa, townhouse and apartment projects currently on offer.

Community fees are not published by the developer. Before buying, request the current fee schedule, what it covers and how it has changed over time.

Generally, yes. Dominican law gives foreign investors the same rights as nationals, as our ownership overview explains. Independent Dominican counsel should still review title and permits for the property.

We could not confirm a CONFOTUR classification for any Playa Nueva Romana project. The incentive is granted project by project, so request the resolution for the specific project; our guide explains how CONFOTUR works.

It can be. The developer lists a supermarket, a shopping area, restaurants and 24-hour security monitoring on site, and Santo Domingo is within reach. Healthcare and schooling deserve a closer look for your household.

By Grupo Piñero's figures, about 30 km from La Romana and about 100 km east of Santo Domingo. The developer puts La Romana airport about 20 minutes away and Las Américas airport about 45 minutes.

No official source publishes Playa Nueva Romana prices, rents or yields, so we don’t quote any. Community size comes from press reports; beach length, golf data, hotel ratings, security and drive times are the developer’s own descriptions. The province is not stated consistently across official listings, so we describe the location by its highway address. Amenity, sports, dining and security lists on this page are the developer’s own, as are the project names; the comparison table’s setting, buyer-profile and daily-living rows are our editorial summary.

Hotel, golf and beach-club access, community fees, rental rules and CONFOTUR status must be confirmed for each property. This page is general information, not legal, tax or investment advice. Last reviewed: September 2026.
