Casa de Campo, La Romana, Dominican Republic
How do you improve on one of the greatest golf destinations in the world?

James Bond Shrimp
Moments after dispatching an encroaching thug in the film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, James Bond, portrayed by George Lazenby, helps himself to a mouthful of caviar and declares it, “Royal Beluga—north of the Caspian.” Well-versed in Champagne, spirits and women, Bond also has a gourmet’s sensitivy (even if he does occasionally dabble in excess), and his preferences often run to seafood.

Run Silent, Run Deep
Your friends all drive Hummers and fly Cessnas. How do you make amends? With the latest, greatest power toy: the personal submarine. At its smallest it’s a two-seat addendum (Deep Flight Super Falcon is pictured) to your yacht that dives 40 feet and makes onboard helicopters look silly. The largest incarnation is an $80 million, 200-foot hulk with 5,000 square feet of space that will plunge a thousand feet below the waves.
