The Story Behind Casablanca Ecolodge

A Dream Born in the Heart of Miches

Casablanca Ecolodge is more than just a real estate development; it's the realization of a shared vision between two men who fell in love with the same piece of paradise. Located just one hour from Punta Cana, nestled above the charming village of Miches, this project brings together breathtaking views of both the sea and the mountains, creating a serene escape like no other.

The Founders: Ramón Peña Corsino and François Bénard

The story of Casablanca Ecolodge begins with Mr. Ramón Peña Corsino, a proud owner of a stunning 10-hectare property that he has carefully preserved for over 30 years. This land, with its panoramic views and lush surroundings, has always been close to his heart. For decades, Mr. Peña Corsino kept his property untouched, waiting for the right opportunity to share its beauty with the world.

That opportunity came when he met François Bénard, a Frenchman who has made the Dominican Republic his home for the past 15 years. François, instantly captivated by the natural beauty of the land, knew he had found something truly special. Recognizing their shared passion for nature and tranquility, Ramón and François joined forces to create a unique project that would allow others to experience the magic of this place.

The Vision: Casablanca Ecolodge

Together, they decided to develop Casablanca Ecolodge, a project that offers more than just villas and bungalows. It offers a sanctuary for those who cherish nature, peace, and the ocean. Unlike other developments, Casablanca Ecolodge is built with a deep personal connection to the land. Mr. Peña Corsino will continue to live on his property, maintaining his residence amidst the development, while François Bénard will construct his own home alongside the bungalows designed for tourists who share their love for nature.
