Rediscover the Wellness Within You The Farm is one of the few wellness resorts in the world where wellbeing and medical treatments can work hand in hand. Located on a former coconut and coffee plantation, hence the name "The Farm", the place sits at the base of Mount Malarayat and is an easy two hour drive south of the Philippine capital of Manila. The 48-hectare resort, has garnered numerous awards, offering a unique healing environment for holistic treatments for the mind, body and soul. Going to The Farm feels like coming home. Nestled in the foothills 1,025 feet above sea level, the magical place includes gardens, ponds, mountains, rivers, lagoons, and waterfalls with tropical flowers and plants, where one can spend hours, days just dedicated to one's own health and wellness. Guests can choose from a variety of detox and cleansing treatments, such as Kidney and Liver Cleansing, Colon Hydrotherapy (water, coffee, chamomile or garlic), Body Salt Bath, Wheatgrass and Aloe Vera Infusion Therapy and Magnetic Clay Foot Bath. But to ensure the safety of the treatments, The Farm also offers you professional guidance and medical support in form of certified doctors. The resort provides holistic medical consultations, live blood analysis reports and other diagnostic modalities like the Digital Meridian Diagnostic System (DMS), which measures the energy flow of certain meridians, allowing you to identify which organs are vulnerable and to find ways to strengthen the particular organ system. The Beauty aspect doesn't fall short either at The Farm. The serene and peaceful surroundings reflect one's inner as well as outer beauty, which is enhanced and found through guided meditations, and other spiritual/holistic experiences, such as Qi Gong and Tai Chi, Yoga, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki, Ventoza, and Hara-Puri Massage, which focuses on our vitality centre, the "Hara", the belly area. Other beautifying treatments include yummy avocado weight loss body wraps, lymphatic drainage therapies as well as number of massages, scrubs and healthy facials. Experience stillness and a sense of awe, where mobile phones, radios and TVs in the rooms are taboo and where spa-goers ditch their smoking and alcohol habits (except for wine with food). At the natural whole food cuisine, Alive, visitors can indulge in a vegetarian and raw culinary dining feast, enjoying "live" and raw ingredients, as well as fresh, organic produce from their own garden, harvested each day for maximum nutrition. The innovative raw food preparation techniques, such as steaming, poaching etc, capture the pure natural flavours and nutrients, and really round off the spa stay, enabling people to enjoy and experience the entire "wellness as a lifestyle" attitude towards life and nature. All their villas and suites draw inspiration from the abundant natural surroundings, providing a personal sanctuary after a hard day's pampering. The Garden Villas are in tropical modern style with warm wood finishing and open-air bathrooms, and the Master Villa, is situated in The Farm's lush tropical garden, with stunning views to the private garden and pool. The Farm provides the environment, guidance and support to nurture your health and wellbeing.
