Our Stay at The Farm in San Benito
During my trip to the Philippines, one of the highlights and probably the biggest core mem was our little overnight getaway at The Farm in San Benito. It is the perfect escape from all the busyness of Manila and is all things wellness. If you know me, you know how much I love that! From where we were staying (at Silang), it was about a 1 hour and 45 minute drive - some of it was a little scary going down the Tagaytay hill. But the destination was so worth it!
The Farm is known for being a luxury health and wellness resort. They don’t even serve meat on the property and I was so excited to see they had fresh herbs in their dishes. After 2 weeks in the Phillipines, my rabbit self was craving something healthy and fresh. The star of the stay though was this gorgeous outdoor bathtub where we soaked and drank wine.
We stayed at one of the villas which runs about $800 USD a night - it’s def a splurge but one that I loved and was a perfect recharge moment for the New Year. We had dinner at Pesce, their pescatarian restaurant which is one out of three on the property. I got the fish curry which was a huge portion and so satisfying! For 2 mains, 1 app and 2 drinks, our bill came out to $100 USD which was the most we’ve spent here in the Philippines, The next day we had their buffet breakfast, which was just OK to me, nothing spectacular, but it got the job done.
Overall, I so enjoyed my stay and will come back again when I need to reset and recharge!
