About La Romana International Airport

La Romana International Airport (LRM), also called Casa de Campo International Airport, serves La Romana on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic, along with the Casa de Campo resort and the beach towns of Bayahibe and Dominicus.

Most scheduled flights are seasonal and come from Europe and Canada: Neos flies from Milan, Rome and Verona, Condor and Discover Airlines from Germany, TUI Airways from the UK, and Air Transat and WestJet from Montréal and Toronto. American Airlines links the airport with Miami. The airport also handles much of the country's private aviation, mostly for guests of Casa de Campo. It handled 142,807 passengers in 2024.

Airline passengers use one small commercial terminal, built to look like an old sugar mill, with four gates and no jet bridges. Private jets use a separate general aviation terminal at the west end of the field.

The airport sits beside the highway between La Romana and Higüey, about 10 km (6 miles) east of downtown La Romana, a drive of 10 to 15 minutes. Casa de Campo, its marina and Altos de Chavón are next door, and Bayahibe and Dominicus lie a short drive further east. Santo Domingo is about 110 km (68 miles) to the west.

Arrival tips for La Romana International Airport

Complete the Dominican Republic e-Ticket before you fly: it is free on the government's official portal, and you show its QR code at immigration. Carry a passport valid for your stay and your return ticket.

La Romana is a small airport, so you leave the aircraft by stairs and cross to the terminal. Inside, you line up at immigration, collect your bags in the baggage claim hall, then pass through customs. Duty-free shops are open in the arrivals area if you want to buy something before you leave.

There is only one commercial terminal, so there is no terminal to choose. After customs you exit straight to the arrivals curb, where taxis, resort transfers and pre-booked drivers wait. Car rental counters are inside the terminal, to the right of the customs exit.

The Dominican Republic is on Atlantic Standard Time all year and uses the Dominican peso, although US dollars are widely accepted in the resorts.

Ground transportation

A pre-booked car or your resort's transfer is easiest; there is no public bus from the terminal.

  • Taxi from La Romana airport

    Taxis wait outside arrivals and usually charge fixed fares to common destinations, paid in cash. Agree the fare before you get in.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you at the arrivals exit and takes you straight to Casa de Campo, La Romana, Bayahibe or Dominicus, which suits families and late arrivals.

  • Resort transfers

    Casa de Campo and many Bayahibe and Dominicus hotels arrange transfers for their guests when booked with the stay.

  • Car rental

    Counters such as Enterprise and National are inside the terminal, to the right of the customs exit, and an agent walks you to the parking lot. Counters keep daytime hours, so late arrivals should check ahead.
