REGENERATIVE TRAVEL: Holistic Healing, Eco-Sustainability Social Responsbility at The Farm At San Benito

In a climate where nations are working hard towards a more sustainable future, the Filipino hospitality industry is also making way for conscious travel. The Farm at San Benito, a multi-awarded eco-luxury holistic medical wellness resort located in Batangas, just a 90-minute drive from Manila, Philippines has been playing a significant role in leading the way for guests from around the world with life-transformative healing holidays.

As an eco-socially responsible business and a genuine green destination, The Farm minimizes its carbon footprint by serving farm-to-table, plant-based, whole-food vegan cuisine. This not only supports physical health but also contributes to environmental well-being. The resort focusses on local and organic produce as part of its sustainable practices and has designated plots for growing local medicinal herbs used in treatments. Following a strict farm-to-skin concept, The Farm utilizes all-natural ingredients freshly picked from its own garden. 

The resort’s commitment to environmental sustainability also extends to supporting the local ecosystem and promoting eco-tourism in the region. Above all, The Farm at San Benito is dedicated to supporting, educating, and uplifting the lives of nearby communities by providing livelihood opportunities and maintaining a clean and green environment. The Farm has also shown deep commitment to promoting Halal Tourism, following the country’s win of the Emerging Muslim-Friendly Destination Award earlier this year. 

With healing at its core of the resort’s value system, the belief is that true healing comes from addressing the root causes of condition, rather than simply treating symptoms. The team of integrative medical doctors, supported by licensed health professionals, work together to create personalized programs to assist guests in attaining optimal health, vitality, and longevity. Through a combination of holistic healing therapies, nourishing cuisine, mindful movement, functional fitness activities, as well as immersive wellness workshops, every opportunity is seized to foster a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, with a rhythmic balance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. All of this takes place in a lush green environment, complemented by the genuine and heartfelt service provided by the Filipino hospitality professionals.  

“At The Farm, we are committed to upholding Responsible and Regenerative Tourism as the benchmark for elevated travel experiences. Our mission is to showcase the cultural legacy of our locale, eco-sustainability practices, social responsibility, and evidence-based holistic healing, all while embodying the quintessential Filipino brand of hospitality and wellness. Our vision is to attract a discerning community of wellness enthusiasts, health seekers, and mindful consumers who seek an immersive, restorative, and transformative holiday experience.” says Jennifer Sanvictores, Global Head of Sales, Marketing & Communications.
