Chef & Staffed Villas in the Dominican Republic

What a staffed villa actually includes

Staffing is the single biggest difference between villas in the Dominican Republic — and the detail most worth checking before you book. At one end are villas with daily housekeeping and a villa manager on call; at the other are full households with a private chef, butler, and dedicated service team. Some villas include a chef in the nightly rate, others arrange one on request with a separate service charge, and grocery provisioning is commonly billed separately from the chef’s time. Every villa page in this collection spells out what is included and what is arranged on request, so there are no surprises at check-in.

Where staffed villas are the norm

Fully staffed households are the tradition in Casa de Campo, where many estates come with long-serving villa teams, and staffed options extend across Cap Cana and Punta Cana as well. If you are cooking for a crowd, pair this collection with our large group villas — a chef preparing breakfast and dinner at the villa is usually the detail that makes a multi-family trip feel effortless. Traveling with children? Many staff teams are exceptional with kids; see our family villas.

When you send us your dates, tell us how you like to eat — chef-prepared every meal, breakfast only, or a stocked kitchen and privacy. We confirm each villa’s current staffing, chef arrangements, and service charges directly with the villa team before you commit.
