Autograph Collection Hotels has officially launched in the Philippines following the addition of The Farm at San Benito to its global portfolio. The 52-hectare site in Lipa, Batangas, is a well-known sanctuary that focuses on health, spirit and life. As part of Marriott Bonvoy, the property will maintain its distinct identity while benefiting from the reach of a major international brand.
The resort has operated for over 20 years and is recognized globally as a leading medical destination. It uses an integrative approach to wellness led by a team of doctors, nutritionists and therapists. Duke Nam, Regional Vice President for Korea, Vietnam & Philippines, Marriott International, stated: “The Farm at San Benito embodies the Autograph Collection’s commitment to distinct perspective and meaningful experience. 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.”
Visitors can choose from 70 different accommodations, ranging from the Bamboo Villas to the exclusive Isla Royal Villa. The grounds include several specialized facilities such as the Wellness & Integrative Medical Sanctuary and an Aqua Hydrotherapy Sanctuary. The resort also features a 300-year-old Mango Tree where guests participate in nightly candlelit ceremonies to set intentions and reflect.
The culinary offerings at the resort are built on a healing food philosophy across five dining venues. These include ALIVE!, which serves vegan dishes, and Prana, which focuses on Indian vegetarian cuisine. Ingredients are sourced from an organic garden on the property that covers 5,700 square meters. The menus are designed to be heart-healthy and immune-boosting to complement the medical programs.
General Manager Giuliano Callegaro commented on the personalized nature of the stay: “At The Farm at San Benito, we believe that true wellness is a deeply personal journey. Our integrative approach, combined with expert-led care, and extraordinary natural setting, creates a space for genuine healing and meaningful transformation. Here, every treatment is personalized, every experience is intentional, and every moment invites our guests to forge deeper connection – with nature, with others, and with themselves. This is wellness that is Exactly Like Nothing Else.”
The resort offers four main wellness journeys including Resilience & Recovery and the Sanctuary of Self. Each program uses medical diagnostics to provide long-term health benefits. As a member of the Autograph Collection, the resort now participates in the Marriott Bonvoy travel program.
