The Farm at San Benito Philippines joins Marriott’s Autograph Collection, eyes expansion into UAE’s wellness tourism market

CG Hospitality Global announces its expansion with Marriott International through the conversion of The Farm at San Benito in the Philippines to The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection, set to open in Q3 2025. This marks the first Autograph Collection property in the Philippines, reinforcing CG Hospitality’s dedication to elevating luxury and wellness-driven hospitality across key global markets, from the UAE to Southeast Asia.
“Our UAE operations have been the cornerstone of CG Developers’ strategic growth. From our pioneering projects in Dubai including the luxury Taj hotel at Jumeirah Lakes Towers, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation and excellence. As we prepare to unveil our world-class development on Dubai Islands, we are once again reinforcing our deep commitment to shaping the future of this dynamic market,” said Rahul Chaudhary, Managing Director & CEO, CG Corp Global & CG Hospitality Holdings.
Aligned with H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision for a flourishing wellness economy, CG Hospitality takes the first step in making transformative wellness destinations accessible to the multicultural Middle East audience. Additionally, with over one million Filipinos residing in the UAE, the nation is already well acquainted with the warmth, hospitality and service-driven nature of the Filipino community. The Farm at San Benito builds on this legacy, offering a world-class wellness destination that seamlessly blends cultural heritage with holistic healing and global accessibility.

Nestled in Lipa City, Batangas, just 90 minutes from Metro Manila, The Farm at San Benito, Autograph Collection will span 52 hectares and is expected to feature 70 villas — including one-bedroom sanctuaries and exclusive two- and four-bedroom pool villas. The resort will house five distinct dining destinations, a wellness-focused medical centre, a spa, and a fully equipped fitness complex. With 321 sqm of meeting and event space, it is also designed to cater to the growing demand for wellness-led business and leisure travel. Guests will enjoy access to nearby heritage sites such as Casa de Segunda and the “Little Rome of the Philippines.”
