La Romana

La Romana is a province in southeastern Dominican Republic bordered by El Seibo, La Altagracia, the Caribbean Sea, and San Pedro de Macorís. The territory features tropical terrain with coastal areas, rivers, and agricultural zones spread across the landscape.

The province began as an oil settlement in 1897 before transforming into a major sugar production center. Construction of a large mill in 1917 marked the region's shift toward the sugar industry.

Altos de Chavón is a vibrant artistic quarter where galleries, workshops, and performance spaces draw both Dominican and visiting artists. The area pulses with cultural activity, making it a center for creative expression in the region.

La Romana International Airport provides direct connections to multiple international destinations, making it convenient for visitors arriving by air. The airport serves as the primary entry point for accessing the province and its resort areas.

The region is home to large resort complexes and gated communities that have shaped its development patterns. These enclaves have become defining features of the coastal landscape, blending tourism with residential living.
