The Farm At San Benito

Had a great experience at The Farm. It’s our first time back since the pandemic and quality of food and service has very much improved. They now serve non-Vegan / Vegetarian options and more variety in restaurants. The Molave Pool Villa was fresh and well-maintained. Great service from Alby, Angela from the Spa and everyone we encountered. Looking forward to even more improved F&B as well as ability to earn and redeem Bonvoy points once Marriott takes over soon.

Highly recommended! I planned to celebrate my birthday over the weekend to enjoy some relaxing time, connection and presence with my family. We stayed in their Mahogany Villa and it’s very spacious, well curated plus the view was amazing in the morning as well. The food is AMAZING, we highly recommend dining in PESCE, worth the money! Good food, fresh ingredients. We also enjoyed a grounding & soothing sound healing session before dinner. All the staff & medical team are very attentive & welcoming as well. You’ll be greeted with a smile & warm greetings whoever you see when walking around the area. I really love the lush nature as well, how they maintained the ecosystem and their for support sustainability. Also had a magical experience under their 300-year old mango tree. Indeed, a weekend full of love, grounding & connection! Thank you so much The Farm at San Benito for the surprise perks as well. Truly appreciated and received! We’ll surely be back, overnight stay is “bitin”.

The only one I could compliment is just the impeccable nature vibes they have around here. To get here though, is another thing. You either have to have your own vehicle, or you rent a car. It’s really hard to get here more so if you have a family traveling with you. The food was so so, some are really good, some are meh. Some of the plug in the room not working. Towels are not ready when we are checked in the room? Spa was great!

This place offers a beautiful nature-inspired atmosphere that feels calm and private. While the prices are on the higher side, they’re justified by the exclusivity and overall experience, not just the food itself. We explored all five restaurants on-site, each offering unique dishes — a great choice for those with refined or adventurous palates. The only downside was the warm temperature due to the open-air setup, so bringing extra clothes is recommended. Despite that, it’s a wonderful destination with excellent restaurants and a comfortable hotel, perfect for a relaxing getaway. 🌺

I’ve always dreamed of staying at The Farm at San Benito, especially after seeing their beautiful and inspiring social media ads. I was really excited when I finally had the chance to visit, hoping to relax, de-stress, and enjoy healthy food. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t fully live up to my expectations. The breakfast buffet had limited options, which was a bit disappointing. However, the most stressful part was dining at the PESCE restaurant. We ordered spaghetti priced at over ₱500, which took around 40 minutes to arrive—and when it did, it was bland and lacked flavor. The fish fingers, which cost about ₱800, came after a 45-minute wait, and the serving was not appealing. The menu mentioned tartar sauce, but they only served mayonnaise. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend eating at PESCE. The waiting time alone is stressful, especially if you're with hungry kids. You may want to try their other restaurants, but even then, expect to wait at least 30 minutes for your food. Overall Rating Ambiance: 10/10 – The place is truly beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for relaxation. Food: 4/10 – Pricey, and unfortunately, the taste and quality did not match the cost.

Nice view good food. However, we experienced a serious issue. No hot water during our stay in Lakan and Bamboo. Reported but staff wasn't able to fix Lakan. Made it very uncomfortable for our party which included a guest with mobility needs. It would be helpful if hotel ensured hot water system was fully operational before guests check-in

The Farm at San Benito is an eco-luxury, holistic medical-wellness resort nestled within 52 hectares of lush greenery in Lipa City, Batangas — just about a 90-minute drive from Manila, depending on traffic. From the moment you arrive, the property’s breathtaking natural beauty instantly sets the tone for rest and rejuvenation. Towering coconut trees, serene reflection ponds, and beautifully landscaped gardens create a tranquil sanctuary where nature, wellness, and luxury harmoniously meet. The gentle sound of birds, the sight of peacocks roaming freely, and the crisp mountain air make it an ideal escape from the city’s pace — a perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and recharge. We chose to stay at The Farm to celebrate my mom and niece’s birthdays, and to our pleasant surprise, the resort upgraded our room complimentary as part of the celebration. This thoughtful gesture immediately made our experience feel more personal and special. The upgraded accommodation was spacious, elegantly designed, and perfectly integrated with nature — with large windows that let in natural light and offered calming views of the surrounding greenery. Throughout our stay, I was very pleased with both the service and ambiance. The staff were consistently courteous, attentive, and genuine in their hospitality, always ready to assist with a smile. Every interaction felt warm and professional — from the front desk team to the restaurant and wellness staff. You could sense that they truly cared about making each guest’s stay meaningful. The resort’s overall atmosphere exudes peace and relaxation. Every corner of the property invites you to slow down — whether it’s lounging by the pool, walking through the gardens, or simply listening to the sounds of nature. The Farm’s focus on wellness and holistic living is also evident in its healthy and beautifully presented meals, spa treatments, and calming design aesthetics. Overall, our experience at The Farm at San Benito was rejuvenating, memorable, and deeply relaxing. It’s the kind of destination that allows you to reconnect — not only with nature, but also with yourself and your loved ones. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious yet soulful retreat away from the noise of the city.

We had such a wonderful stay at The Farm at San Benito! ||For food, we tried Soufflé de Vie—at first we thought the prices were expensive, but when we tasted the dishes, it truly reflected the chef’s talent. The linguine pasta, chicken, and especially the mashed potato were outstanding. We now have a very high standard for mashed potato—the best we’ve ever had!||We also dined at Pesce, and everything we ordered was delicious. The price was just right considering the top-notch quality of the food. Highly recommended dishes are the prawns, which were perfectly juicy, and the tuna steak, which was both guilt-free and the best we’ve tried. The breakfast buffet was also a highlight—light, healthy, and with a variety of offerings to suit every preference.||Another spot we enjoyed was the Upperdeck Restaurant. We loved that they offer a mix of cuisines, including Filipino dishes—perfect if you’re craving comforting rice meals.|The staff deserves a special mention. Everywhere we went, they were warm and accommodating, always greeting us with a smile and making sure we were taken care of. A big shoutout to Kuya Alex—we kept noticing him serving us at different times, he is everywhere, even in in-room dining haha! He was so accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile for all the guests.||The whole property itself is amazing—walking around surrounded by nature was so refreshing, and breathing in the clean air felt healing. The room was also lovely, and we were very thankful for the upgrade they gave us in celebration of my husband’s birthday. He especially loved the bathtub and really enjoyed it. Thank you so much, The Farm, for this sweet gesture!|Overall, everyone at The Farm is amazing and the whole place is perfect if you’re looking to reconnect with nature, enjoy delicious food, and be surrounded by genuine hospitality. Truly a memorable experience—we wish to go back soon!

This spontaneous trip to Batangas was indeed a great escape from the urban life. The Farm is located at Lipa. It was clearly a short drive from Manila but getting inside is like being in an alternate universe where birds are chirping, peacocks are walking around, and green is the dominant color. We arrived earlier than the check-in time and we huddled at the Alive! Restaurant for lunch. They serve the "good" in the food. The menu is mainly comprised of vegan recipes yet the taste is satisfying, it will make you forget about meat. It's the only restaurant inside The Farm and there are no nearby restaurants in the area. Price is actually steep but ingredients are guaranteed freshly-picked. I appreciated that the staff are courteous and friendly despite the slow pacing of service. Our stay includes a free afternoon snack and breakfast. The Farm also offers detox packages depending on personal needs. We explored the pool in different areas on during our first day and the second day was a different story. We started our day at the Gym at 6am. The next hour is spent with a breathing exercise and yoga. By 9am, we joined the flower mandala session and then, breakfast at 10am. Everything I mentioned is already a part of our room package for P8000++ for 2pax. There's a complete sense of rejuvenation.

Had the best experience at this World Class spa with my bestie! The spa retreat is absolute paradise, although the $200 massage was quite disappointing. My masseuse was super sweet but I feel like it was a 4 out of 10. The massage room and shower area were pure luxury.

The Farm at San Benito is probably the most well-known destination spa in the country. The place is so much more than a nature resort, with its emphasis on wellness and healthy living. It's definitely a big step up from your conventional vacation. Rates at the Farm are quite steep but room occupancy come with relaxing spa procedures like facials and massages; guests are likewise served organic and yummy meals. For families who like to vacation together, parents can have their cake and eat it too. The Farm offers private nanny services during the day so your kids can do their own thing while you enjoy some downtime. If your kids have had enough of swimming in the lagoon-style pools, there is a daily calendar of organized children's activities so grown-ups can have fun without feeling guilty. It's a rather impressive program too, with activities like fishing, mandala flower arrangement, duck feeding, afternoon tea, running around a water sprinkler and even coconut tree climbing!

There's so much to be said about The Farm at San Benito, but I don't want to bored you with too many words either. So, I'm going to do a run-down of the things I love about The Farm. Location - Located in Lipa City, Batangas, it's far enough to have an ideal environment for rest, but not far enough to not be worth a day trip. Nature - With The Farm's massive property, you can really get in tune with nature in their several meditation points and gardens. So much beauty already, even just at the reception area, with the beautiful lake where swans swim along and walk freely in the well-manicured lawn. Food - With their thrust of healthy-living and detoxification objectives, it's no wonder that Alive!, the restaurant at The Farm, serves the freshest fare they could. They have set meals that may seem too little for carnivores, but it really is quite filling. The menu changes depending on what's available from the markets and from their very own garden. Spa - With world class standards, it's no wonder why health and wellness-conscious individuals from all over the world flock to The Farm to get detox and wellness treatments done. One part of it is their spa, with various offerings from basic massages to more complex treatments, even medical ones. I also love that the shower are or their spa is outdoors. A bit scary (there was a frog by the shower!) yes, but it really puts you out of your comfort zone and one with and exposed to nature. Quite literally. Overall wellness - Aside from the food and treatment center, they also have other activities and facilities that can cater to other activities to further improve or exercise your physical, mental and emotional psyche. Service - Their world-class standards don't just go for their facilities and products, it also goes for the quality of service their staff gives. Always so accommodating and well-informed.
