Autograph Collection Hotels has announced its debut in the Philippines with the opening of The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection. Set across 128 acres of lush tropical landscape in Lipa, Batangas, this wellness sanctuary marks a transformative milestone for the brand—introducing a destination where growth in health, spirit, and life converges with the Autograph Collection ethos of individuality and immersive storytelling.
For over 20 years, The Farm has welcomed guests from around the globe seeking not just rest, but transformation. Pioneering detox-based wellness in the Philippines, the resort has gained recognition as one of the world’s most acclaimed medical destinations, offering personalized, evidence-based care through an integrative approach led by doctors, therapists, nutritionists and healers.
“The Farm at San Benito embodies the Autograph Collection’s commitment to distinct perspective and meaningful experience,” said Duke Nam, regional vice president for Korea, Vietnam & Philippines, Marriott International. “From its evidence-based wellness programs to its deep connection with nature’s healing power, every element invites guests to slow down and engage in purposeful transformation. It is a celebration of holistic care wrapped in natural beauty and thoughtful design.”
Handpicked for their artistry and distinct approach to design and hospitality, Autograph Collection hotels create immersive moments that leave lasting impressions. At The Farm, where two energy lines meet, stands a 300-year-old mango tree—a mystical vortex radiating life and renewal. Each evening, guests are invited to join a lantern-lit procession to the tree for a candlelit ceremony. Here, one can set intentions, feel the cool grass, embrace the tree, and breathe deeply, connecting with its vibrant energy—a ritual that fosters reflection, community, and harmony with nature.
Accommodations
The Farm features 70 wellness accommodations, offering abundant space for privacy and relaxation. Guests may choose from a variety of options, including Palmera Suites, Anahaw Villas with private gardens, Bamboo Villas nestled in nature, Narra Pool Villas featuring private pools, Mahogany and Acacia Pool Residences with expansive living areas, and the exclusive Isla Royal Villa—each serving as a personal sanctum with unique tropical design.

Five dining experiences bring The Farm’s healing food philosophy to life. Alive! offers immune-boosting vegan cuisine; Prana serves Indian vegetarian dishes infused with healing spices; Pesce features Mediterranean-pescetarian fare; Souffle de Vie provides artisanal raw vegan desserts; and The Upperdeck presents heart-healthy dishes using pasture-raised ingredients. Each meal is sourced from the resort’s 61,354-square-foot organic garden, showcasing a commitment to farm-to-table excellence.
A Philosophy Rooted in Nurturing Growth
The Farm’s promise is both simple and profound: to nurture growth. Harnessing the Earth’s restorative power to support each guest’s healing journey, the resort is guided by three pillars: Nature’s Energy; Integrated Wellness Ecosystem; and Care at the Heart of Our Culture.
Signature Wellness Journeys
The Farm offers four core wellness programs—Pure Body Reset, Resilience & Recovery, The Sanctuary of Self, and Metabolic Reboot—each integrating medical diagnostics, holistic healing, mindful movement, and nourishing cuisine to deliver measurable, long-term benefits. For a bespoke experience, The Signature Path offers programs crafted by The Farm’s multidisciplinary team, tailored to individual wellness goals and medical needs.
The interdisciplinary team includes doctors in integrative, functional and lifestyle medicine, along with licensed therapists, nutritionists, movement coaches, and healers—all working together to support personal transformation. Throughout the year, The Farm also welcomes visiting practitioners from around the world, bringing diverse healing modalities that add fresh depth to the retreat experience.
Sanctuaries for Healing and Renewal
The Wellness & Integrative Medical Sanctuary offers overall diagnostics and non-invasive therapies under the care of world-class physicians, while the Spa & Mindful Living Sanctuary provides traditional Filipino treatments and globally inspired healing rituals. The Aqua Hydrotherapy Sanctuary features therapeutic pools, contrast baths, and steam therapies designed to detoxify and support deep physical release. Sacred spaces of reflection include the 300-year-old mango tree, The Labyrinth for meditative walking, The Big Lagoon for quiet contemplation, and the Temple of Five Elements, designed to restore energetic balance.
Beginning in 2002 with a mission to create a sanctuary for cleansing and healing, The Farm has helped thousands address chronic illnesses, stress, and lifestyle imbalances through personalized care. Today, The Farm welcomes not only wellness program guests, but anyone seeking to live with greater vitality, balance, and purpose.
