There is a farm at a little barangay in Lipa, Batangas, where one can breathe more freely, where the greens sustain personal health and where water that springs from underneath a volcanic mountain is healing. It is an idyllic haven sheltered from noise and pollution by a green canopy of coconut trees and a lush landscape of flowing water and garden walks designed to enhance optimum wellness.

This is not your typical farm where animals are raised for food. What is raised on The Farm at San Benito is the level of health consciousness, and what is cultivated is a change in outlook. It is a realization that regaining or improving health is possible, and that natural methods are effective in restoring balance and vitality..."

The Salus per Aqua Spa is the homage to the immediate physical and spiritual needs of the body.

The dominating feature of the Spa is an infinity pool with a majestic view of Mount Malarayat. This grand panorama stands in stark contrast to the womb-like private massage pavilions, which stand within their own gardens and water features.
