Treatment MenuView business treatment menu >>

The architectural centerpiece of the 1,400-square-meter Salus Per Aquam SPA is its infinity-edge swimming pool, with the impressive Mount Malarayat as its backdrop. Treatment room decor offers a tropical vibe, while the open-air Thai massage pavilions, surrounded by gardens and soothing water features, foster a tranquil setting for spa guests.

The nine treatment-room SPA features Asian-inspired massage, body scrubs, wraps, and facials on its menu of services, and treatments utilize all-natural, organic homemade products infused with extracts such as The Farm's exclusive cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil, fresh coconut milk, coffee, cocoa, herbs, and coconut fiber. Signature highlights include the 90-minute Purification Treatment, in which the spa therapist applies coconut oil, lemongrass, and sea-salt elements to the body with "Yin Yang" strokes, and the 150-minute Hilot Haplos, a combination of a cocoa body scrub, coconut cream milk bath, and massage. Five treatment rooms accommodate couples and have oversize bathtubs, indoor/outdoor showers, and tandem treatment beds, where guests can indulge in therapies like the Four Hands Yin Yang Puri simultaneously.

An integral part of The Farm's experience is its medical services. Inspired by European treatments, the services revolve around internal cleansing and body detoxification.

At ALIVE! Restaurant, diners can sample flavorful, nutritious vegan fare in a relaxed setting, either indoors or outside under tree canopies.

The ALIVE! five-course menu changes daily and includes a range of vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruits, along with tasty homemade ice creams and cookies, biological wines, champagne, and beverages.
