The Farm at San Benito is a beautiful health sanctuary and hotel just a few hours away from Manila, in Bataan. I was lucky enough to be able to visit the organic haven, and it was a rejuvenating experience.
All the meals at ALIVE! restaurant were vegan: no meat, no dairy, no eggs - but we didn't mind, really, because the concoctions were creative, beautifully presented and delicious.
In terms of fitness, I'd wakeup with yoga in the mornings and calisthenics and boot camp in the afternoons. After my workouts, I'd usually go for a swim. I also did some lazy man's yoga - which means I had a masahe hehe and it was guh-reat.
The landscaping is overwhelming, with foliage that soothed my city-accustomed eyes. There were peacocks, geese and ducks roaming around every turn I took. Even if the greenery was manicured, the environment was so relaxing and a perfect escape from the Manila hustle.
Scratching my leg, because there are some sacrifices that need to be made while in nature - which means a hella lotta ants

Apologies for my shitty collage lol but hey,
Doesn't it look delicious?
Well thankfully it's all organic and vegan so you don't have to worry about anything unhealthy entering your body! |
