Marriott International and CG Hospitality have announced the conversion of the renowned wellness retreat, The Farm at San Benito, into the first Autograph Collection resort in the Philippines. The rebranded property is expected to welcome guests by the end of the third quarter of 2025.
"We're excited to collaborate with CG Hospitality on the debut of Marriott International's Autograph Collection brand in the Philippines — a milestone that expands our footprint in this vibrant market." said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International. "With wellness emerging as a key driver of travel decisions, this is a timely and strategic entry for us. The Philippines, with its rich natural beauty and growing reputation as a rejuvenating destination, offers the ideal setting for the Autograph Collection and underscores our continued commitment to bringing differentiated experiences to new markets across the region.”
Located in Lipa City, Batangas, just 90 minutes from Metro Manila, the resort will offer 70 accommodation units, including one-bedroom villas and private two- and four-bedroom pool villas. Spanning 52 hectares of tropical landscape, The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection will focus on holistic wellness, combining nutrition, movement, integrated medicine, and mindful living.
The retreat will feature a swimming pool with a pool bar, a fitness centre, spa, and medical wellness facilities. Guests can also enjoy a diverse culinary experience across five dining venues, a lobby lounge, and two bars. With 321 square metres of flexible event space, the resort will also cater to business and social events, making it suitable for both leisure and corporate travellers.
"At CG Hospitality, we have always believed in nurturing destinations that leave a lasting impact, and The Farm at San Benito has long been a jewel in our portfolio — a sanctuary where nature, wellness, and heartfelt hospitality come together. Our strategic partnership with Marriott International to bring The Farm at San Benito into the Autograph Collection family reflects our commitment to creating experiences that are both timeless and transformative. By joining hands, we are taking this vision global, introducing the Philippines' first Autograph Collection property, and setting a new benchmark for wellness hospitality in the region," said Dr. Binod Chaudhary, Chairman of CG Corp Global.
Nearby cultural landmarks such as the “Little Rome of the Philippines,” Mount Malarayat Golf & Country Club, and the heritage site Casa de Segunda enhance the guest experience with local flavour and history.
The resort will become Marriott’s 13th property in the Philippines and will join the Marriott Bonvoy programme, allowing members to earn and redeem points during their stay.
