The Farm At San Benito: A Wellness Haven

 

When in Manila and looking for the perfect getaway wellness retreat, THE FARM at SAN BENITO is always ready to welcome you. It is heaven on earth – peaceful, relaxing, calm and happiness all over. About a 2-hour easy drive away from Manila, The Farm is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Lipa City, Batangas. This is the great escape we’ve all been waiting for – a happy Wellness Holiday.

Day tours are also available at The Farm, but you will have to book in advance in order to enter the premises.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed with cold towels and refreshing coconut water.

After registration, we were given a schedule of activities available for the week, such as: Yoga, Core Class, Aqua Aerobics, Fitness Walk, Food Prep, and many more. Meditation spots are also available everywhere so we were advised to switch mobile phones to silent mode 🙂

The Farm protects Mother Earth by starting with small efforts like replacing electric doorbells with a fun bamboo cylinder that creates a loud thump when struck with the bamboo stick.

Only pure and natural amenities are also used: oil of life (virgin coconut oil), coco soap and purifying body polish. You may also notice that The Farm does not promote using plastic containers. Everything here is organic, natural and environmental-friendly.

 

THE ROOM: NARRA POOL VILLA

My friends and I stayed at the luxurious Narra Pool Villa. It was perfect! I loved how huge the room is, complete with our own private pool and balcony where you can just lounge, relax and meditate. Although Wi-Fi is available throughout The Farm, better not use it for work because the place is just telling you to relax your body, mind and soul.
