Lipa, Batangas, Philippines — Autograph Collection Hotels Debuts in the Philippines with the opening of The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection, marking a significant milestone for Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 distinctive hotel brands. Set across 52 hectares of lush tropical landscape in Lipa, Batangas, the iconic wellness retreat enters a new chapter of hospitality centred on nurturing growth, holistic care and conscious living.
For more than two decades, The Farm at San Benito has been internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading medical wellness destinations. Known for pioneering detox-based wellness programmes in the Philippines, the sanctuary delivers personalised, evidence-based care through an integrative approach led by internationally trained doctors, therapists, nutritionists and holistic healers. Its integration into Autograph Collection introduces a destination where health, spirit and lifestyle transformation align with the brand’s philosophy of individuality and immersive storytelling.
“The Farm at San Benito embodies the Autograph Collection commitment to meaningful and distinctive experiences,” said Duke Nam, Regional Vice President for Korea, Vietnam & Philippines, Marriott International. “From its science-backed wellness programmes to its deep connection with nature, the property invites guests to slow down and engage in purposeful transformation.”
A Distinctive Wellness Sanctuary ‘Exactly Like Nothing Else’
Autograph Collection hotels are hand-selected for their individuality, artistry and strong sense of place. At The Farm, guests experience deeply rooted rituals that reflect the property’s spiritual and cultural identity, including a nightly lantern-lit ceremony beneath a 300-year-old mango tree believed to radiate restorative energy. This symbolic ritual fosters reflection, community and harmony with nature—hallmarks of the resort’s holistic philosophy.
Personal Sanctums Designed for Tranquility
The resort features 70 spacious wellness accommodations, offering privacy and immersion in nature. Options range from Palmera Suites and Anahaw Villas with private gardens, to Bamboo Villas surrounded by greenery, Narra Pool Villas with private pools, expansive Mahogany and Acacia Pool Residences, and the exclusive Isla Royal Villa. Each accommodation is designed as a personal sanctuary that blends tropical aesthetics with restorative comfort.
Healing Through Conscious Cuisine
Dining at The Farm is an integral part of the wellness journey. Five distinct dining venues showcase the resort’s plant-forward, healing food philosophy. Guests can enjoy immune-boosting vegan cuisine at ALIVE!, Indian vegetarian specialities at Prana, Mediterranean-pescetarian dishes at PESCE, raw vegan desserts at Souffle de Vie, and heart-healthy fare at The Upperdeck. Ingredients are sourced from the resort’s 5,700-square-metre organic garden, reinforcing its farm-to-table commitment.
Signature Wellness Journeys for Measurable Transformation
The Farm offers four core wellness programmes—Pure Body Reset, Resilience & Recovery, Sanctuary of Self, and Metabolic Reboot—each integrating medical diagnostics, holistic therapies, mindful movement and therapeutic nutrition. For guests seeking bespoke care, The Signature Path provides fully personalised wellness journeys curated by a multidisciplinary medical and wellness team.
World-Class Facilities Rooted in Nature and Care

These include the Wellness & Integrative Medical Sanctuary, Spa & Mindful Living Sanctuary, and Aqua Hydrotherapy Sanctuary, featuring therapeutic pools and detoxifying treatments. Reflective spaces such as The Labyrinth, The Big Lagoon, the Temple of Five Elements and the iconic mango tree serve as tranquil environments for meditation and emotional balance.
