Playa Nueva Romana Real Estate
1,500-acre beachfront community between Santo Domingo and La Romana — the DR's only PGA-affiliated golf course and 1.5 miles of private beach.
The Dominican Republic's Only PGA-Affiliated Community
Playa Nueva Romana is a 1,500-acre master-planned beachfront community developed by Grupo Piñero (owners of the Bahia Principe hotel brand), located on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic between Santo Domingo and La Romana.
The community's defining distinction is golf: Playa Nueva Romana is home to the only PGA-affiliated golf course in the Dominican Republic, along with a second 9-hole executive course — making it a compelling alternative to Casa de Campo for golf-focused buyers who want a beachfront community at a different price point.
Nearly 2 miles of private Caribbean beach, a dedicated beach club, tennis courts, multiple restaurants, and 24-hour gated security complete a lifestyle offering that competes with the region's most established luxury communities.
Fifteen hundred gated acres on a sheltered bay between Santo Domingo and La Romana.
1,500 Acres of Golf & Coastline
Grupo Piñero's master plan for Playa Nueva Romana organizes the community around its two signature assets: the PGA-affiliated course and roughly 1.5 miles of private beach.
Residences overlooking the DR's only PGA-affiliated 18-hole course.
Homes directly on the sheltered Caribbean bay, with calm, swimmable water year-round.
The community's gated condominium district, closer to both international airports.
Homesites around the community's second, 9-hole executive layout — a lower-key alternative setting.
What Makes Playa Nueva Romana Exceptional
The only PGA-affiliated golf course in the Dominican Republic is at Playa Nueva Romana — an 18-hole championship layout with ocean views and Caribbean-caliber conditions.
A pristine, private Caribbean beach stretching roughly 1.5 miles within the community — with a dedicated beach club facility for residents.
24-hour security with controlled access gates. Playa Nueva Romana operates as a fully self-contained, secure residential community.
Located between Santo Domingo (1.5 hours) and La Romana (30 minutes) — convenient for business travelers and those who want resort living with city proximity.
The beach sits on a sheltered Caribbean bay with calm, swimmable water year-round — different from Punta Cana's Atlantic-facing beaches, which can be rougher.
Developed and managed by Grupo Piñero — one of Spain's most respected hospitality groups with decades of experience in the Dominican Republic (Bahia Principe hotels).
Living in Playa Nueva Romana
Golf & Beach in One Community
Playa Nueva Romana uniquely combines PGA-affiliated championship golf with roughly 1.5 miles of private beachfront — a combination found elsewhere in the DR only at the significantly higher price points of Casa de Campo and Cap Cana.
Peaceful, Private Living
Unlike the more social and busy atmospheres of Casa de Campo or Cap Cana, Playa Nueva Romana attracts buyers seeking a genuinely private, peaceful community experience. The scale is human — not overwhelming.
Two-Airport Convenience
The community sits equidistant between La Romana International Airport (private/charter, within Casa de Campo) and Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo — offering flexibility for travel.
Investment at an Earlier Stage
Playa Nueva Romana represents a destination that is still emerging relative to Casa de Campo or Cap Cana — offering earlier-stage pricing with the fundamentals (PGA golf, private beach, established developer) of a mature luxury community.

Playa Nueva Romana's Signature Spaces
Three places that define daily life at Playa Nueva Romana — the golf, the beach, and the five-star hospitality behind it all.
PGA Ocean's 4
Playa Nueva Romana's marquee asset is PGA Ocean's 4 — the only PGA of America–affiliated golf course in the Dominican Republic, and the reason this community stands apart from every other beachfront development in the country. The layout spans 27 holes in total: an 18-hole championship course plus a night-lit, par-3 executive course for casual evening rounds.
Four holes play directly along the sea, framed by generous fairways and water features. An on-site PGA Golf Academy, equipped with modern training technology, rounds out the experience — and the course was recently named the Best Golf Course in the Americas by IAGTO, the international golf tourism body.
The Private Beach & Beach Club
Roughly 1.5 miles of private white-sand beach, lined with coconut palms, front the community along a sheltered Caribbean bay — meaning calm, swimmable water year-round, a genuine contrast to Punta Cana's rougher Atlantic-facing coastline. Access is reserved for residents and guests, keeping the shoreline quiet and uncrowded.
At its heart is an exclusive Beach Club: the community's social anchor, where residents gather over dining and drinks with the sand and sea breeze just steps away. It's the everyday gathering place that gives Playa Nueva Romana its relaxed, family-friendly rhythm.
Grand Bahía Príncipe La Romana
Two five-star hotels sit within the Playa Nueva Romana master plan — one of them an adults-only luxury property — operated under the Bahía Príncipe brand of Grupo Piñero, the Spanish hospitality group with more than 40 years in the Caribbean and one of the largest hotel operations in the Dominican Republic. For residents, that means hotel-grade dining, service, and leisure without leaving the gates.
Beyond the hotels, the community rounds out with a shopping area, multiple restaurants, tennis and padel courts, a sports center, and 24-hour gated security across all 1,500 acres — an established, fully serviced environment rather than a development still finding its footing.

Why Invest in Playa Nueva Romana
Only one PGA-affiliated course exists in the Dominican Republic, and it is here. This scarcity drives demand from golf buyers who want PGA credentials at accessible prices.
Compared to Casa de Campo and Cap Cana, Playa Nueva Romana offers the combination of golf and private beach at lower entry prices — with upside as the community matures.
Between the capital and La Romana's resort corridor, the community benefits from two demand pools: Santo Domingo professionals and resort-market vacation buyers.
