The Farm at San Benito Joins Autograph Collection as Brand Enters the Philippines

Autograph Collection Hotels has added its first property in the Philippines with the inclusion of The Farm at San Benito, a long-established wellness retreat in Lipa, Batangas. The resort becomes part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection portfolio, bringing a globally recognised hotel brand to a destination that has operated independently for years. The property spans 52 hectares and continues to focus on structured wellness stays rather than short leisure visits.

The Farm at San Benito has been open to guests for more than twenty years and is known in the Philippines and beyond for stays that follow a medical framework. Visitors join scheduled programmes that involve health checks, regular consultations, and set daily routines. Doctors, therapists, nutrition experts, and other specialists work on site and are available throughout the stay. The resort is most often chosen by people who book longer visits and are comfortable following a planned daily structure.

Joining Autograph Collection does not change how the resort operates on a daily basis. Accommodation remains limited to 70 villas and suites, including garden villas and private pool residences designed for privacy and quiet surroundings. Dining continues to follow a plant-forward and health-conscious format, using ingredients sourced from the resort’s own organic garden. Wellness programmes remain structured around recovery, metabolic health, and longer-term balance.

What travellers can explore around The Farm at San Benito

• Lipa City heritage sites and local markets
• Taal Lake viewpoints and nearby nature trails
• Day trips to Tagaytay’s cooler highland areas
• Batangas beaches within short driving distance
• Cultural and food experiences in southern Luzon

Located in Batangas, the retreat offers access to a wider region often overlooked by first-time visitors to the Philippines. Beyond the resort grounds, travellers can combine wellness programmes with short excursions into surrounding towns, natural landscapes, and coastal areas. Its relative proximity to Manila also makes it a practical stop for international visitors looking to balance time in the capital with a slower, more structured stay elsewhere in Luzon.
