If you are looking for a place to heal both inside and out, a place designed for relaxation and disconnectedness from the outside world, and a place to detoxify and cleanse your system, the Farm at San Benito is the place for you. The Farm’s intensive healing packages and amenities have been recognized worldwide, despite only being two years old. They recently bagged Crystal Awards in the categories of Best Holistic Healing Program, Best New Age Activity, and Best Retreat.
The Farm is located in the province of San Benito, Batangas, in the Philippines. Its owners, Eckard Rempe and his Filipina wife, Perla, are strong advocates of a healthy lifestyle. They believe that in order to reach utmost health, one must cleanse their bodies and their minds, attain a certain level of spirituality, and of course, eat healthy. They believe a person must change their outlook in life, and turn to only natural methods of healing. These principles are clearly evident in the design throughout the spa; the only noises one will hear is the harmonious flowing of water that comes from a volcano. What makes the Farm different from other spas around the world is its holistic approach to health, which involves emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical aspects.
The Farm is famous for its wellness, prevention, and recovery programs. Together with a knowledgeable staff that provides guidance and support no matter which program you take, a healing environment, and raw natural foods served, all these combine to stimulate healing experience. They have specialized detoxification programs designed to cleanse humans from the toxins they encounter in food, alcoholic substances, drugs, pollution, and radiation.
At the farm, they strongly believe in the importance of eating raw food, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. These contain essential enzymes and nutrients that are killed when food is cooked above 42 degrees Celsius. Apart from the increased energy and better state of mind one gets with a diet of raw food, is natural and healthy weight loss. The Farm strongly upholds this, as well as educating their guests about the benefits of eating raw. The in-house chefs take pleasure in serving these raw dishes that not only taste good, but are also aesthetically appealing so as not to intimidate. Delicious foods served in their menu include fresh fruit juices, cakes, and ice cream, which of course are all produced through natural means.
The Farm’s design encourages its guests to commune with nature, offering many opportunities for meditation and relaxation. Its architecture is derived from only organic elements, and covers 48 hectares of lush greenery, ponds, gardens, mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Water is an integral aspect of the Farm’s programs, evident in its design and programs.
Guests are always well taken cared of and pampered at the Farm. Each suite and villa is carefully designed and furnished with earthy tones to complement the principles and programs of the Farm. After a few days, you can be assured you will feel at your best, the way nature intended it to be.
