For more than two decades, The Farm at San Benito has been recognized as a world-renowned wellness sanctuary in the Philippines, located just 90 minutes from Manila. Renowned for its holistic approach to healing, mindful living, and transformative wellness programs, the award-winning resort has become a destination for travelers from around the world seeking relaxation, renewal, and a deeper connection with nature.
The wellness resort has now reached a major milestone as it officially becomes the first property in the Philippines to join Marriott International’s Autograph Collection. The partnership marks a significant step in expanding The Farm at San Benito’s presence in global wellness tourism while preserving the individuality, tranquility, and sanctuary experience that have defined the resort for more than 20 years.
Autograph Collection is one of Marriott International’s most celebrated portfolios. It is a curated family of independent hotels handpicked for their unique story, design, and sense of place, with each property staying true to the brand promise of being “Exactly Like Nothing Else.” For The Farm at San Benito, joining this global collection means broadening its reach while maintaining the distinctive character that continues to attract wellness travelers from across the globe.
Guests visiting the resort can also expect enhanced in-room amenities, improved accessibility and inclusivity throughout the property, and seamless digital integration through Marriott Bonvoy. From booking accommodations to earning rewards and enjoying stay benefits, the overall guest experience becomes even more convenient while remaining true to the resort’s wellness-focused philosophy.
Wellness Experiences, Accommodations, and Dining
Every Autograph Collection hotel is known for its own “Autograph Moment,” a signature landmark that reflects the property’s identity and cannot be found anywhere else. For The Farm at San Benito, this distinction belongs to its iconic 300-year-old Mango Tree, which stands majestically at the heart of the resort. The historic tree symbolizes healing, grounding, and a connection to nature. Revered as the resort’s energy vortex, it has inspired countless stories and continues to serve as one of the defining features of the property’s peaceful atmosphere.
True to its commitment to nurturing growth, The Farm at San Benito continues to respond to guests’ evolving interest in health and well-being. The resort features 70 exclusive villas, each intentionally designed to provide relaxation and privacy while blending nature with Filipino art, culture, and heritage.
Accommodation options include the rustic Sulu Terrace, the nature-inspired Palmera Suites, Waterglass Villas, and Garden Glass Villas. Guests looking for a more exclusive stay can also choose the Narra Pool Villas, Mahogany Pool Residences, and the expansive Isla Royal Villa, among many other accommodations available within the property.
Beyond its accommodations, the resort offers numerous spaces dedicated to rest and rejuvenation. Guests can unwind in restful lounges, meditate in peaceful areas such as The Labyrinth, or enjoy the pools and man-made waterfalls found throughout the property.
Families are equally welcome, especially with the addition of a newly built playground where children can play while experiencing nature. Staying guests can also participate in complimentary wellness activities, including nature walks, yoga sessions, and food preparation classes led by the resident chef.
The Farm at San Benito’s holistic philosophy extends to its dining experiences, which are further elevated through its integration into the Autograph Collection. Fresh ingredients are sourced from the resort’s 5,700-square-meter organic garden and transformed into nourishing farm-to-table cuisine that supports healthy living.
ALIVE! serves as the resort’s signature vegan restaurant, offering nutrient-rich whole foods for guests who are intentional about clean eating without sacrificing taste. PESCE specializes in pescetarian cuisine featuring longevity-focused ingredients and sustainably sourced seafood. Prana offers Indian cuisine alongside vegetarian dishes, while Soufflé de Vie provides an elegant French fine-dining experience. Guests seeking a more casual meal can visit The Upperdeck Pool Side Bar, which serves fresh greens, grilled fish, free-range chicken, and grains in a relaxed al fresco setting.
Family guests can also enjoy kid-friendly menu options available at ALIVE!, PESCE, and The Upperdeck, making healthy dining accessible for visitors of all ages.
Complementing these dining concepts are personalized health programs, detox treatments, spa services, and integrative healing experiences at the Healing Sanctuary at The Farm. Its advanced medical equipment and specialized processes are designed to support each guest’s individual wellness journey through a holistic approach that addresses overall well-being.
