Philippines is home to one of the most renowned wellness resorts in the world, multi-awarded The Farm at San Benito in Lipa, Batangas. Eco-luxury, exotic and rejuvenating, we can think of a handful of reasons to add a stay here to your 2020 travel plans -- namely the motivation and help in kickstarting your journey to your healthiest self yet.

The resort's philosophy is rooted in wellness with five pillars: Diagnose, Cleanse, Nourish, Repair and Sustain. Here, eating healthy and working out are anything but a chore. The Farm tailors every stay around a holistic approach to integrative medical services, partnering with European Wellness Center (EWC) and Living Life Well Integrative Medical Clinic (CIGNA accredited global health care provider). Did we mention the popular Hilot massage guests love so much?

The Farm has been busy this year with the expansion of newly-built villas. One of them is the Mahogany Villa, and two new Bamboo Villas. These new additions join the likes of existing rooms and suites like the Palmera Suite, Master Villa, and a seriously swanky The Lakan.

This is what you can expect: freshly rolled out retreats like Health Optimisation, Cellular Health, Executive Health and Aesthetics. It begins with a consultation and health assessment by a licensed physician and state-of-the-art biomedical diagnostics. There are specific programs for detox cleansing, as well as weight management, diabetes prevention and heart health.

Establishing a partnership with European Wellness, the cellular health programs are designed to assess, treat and prevent chronic health disorders with the aid of experienced physicians and expertise from hospitals and medical centres from Switzerland, Germany, United Arab Emirates, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

Then there are the executive health programs in partnership with Living Life Well Integrative Medical Clinic. On this menu you have programs for pain management that specifically targets work-related diseases and chronic pain, helping guests get down to the root of the problem. Important and crucial to overall health, the retreat extends to mental health, where the resort helps guest to notice also how stressors of their daily lives might already be taking a toll on their bodies.

Lastly, The Farm has a new aesthetic service brought by Dr. Conrada Veruasa-Apostol, M.D. or Dr. Radi who is a reconstructive and plastic surgeon, focusing on aspects like slimming and contouring, even surgical enhancement that aims go be less painful, less expensive and have fewer risk -- but only as the last option.

And you're probably wondering about food -- it is a holiday, after all, which means good food is absolutely crucial. The Farm highly recommends a diet of whole-food and lots of plant-based meals. At the Alive! Restaurant, dishes are all rich in fibre and antioxidants and often even raw, but never without skimping on a satisfying culinary experience.

Here's the scenario: working 9 to 5 is an understatement, the last truly relaxing vacation you had is worthy of the #10yearchallenge, and you'd love nothing more than to hop on a plane... but where to? We've chosen five amazing destinations and hotels -- all you have to do now is to choose your next move. And so the adventure begins.

Travel somewhere you've never been to:

You've landed at: Melia Ho Tram in Vietnam

What happens next? Ho who now? You probably haven't heard of Ho Tram. A two hour journey from Ho Chi Minh City (also known as Saigon), it's what the Hamptons is to New York, or Naples to Rome. The 17-hectare resort is so brand new, that it isn't even open yet. So set a date for April for a stay at a beachfront villa with a private pool.

Feel like a kid again:

You've landed at: Treetops Lodge & Estate in Rotorua, New Zealand

What happens next? You may (or may not) live in your dream house, but can you say you've stayed in your childhood dream treehouse? Elevating that to reach luxurious levels, Treetops is a secluded lakeside getaway amidst virgin jungles and rolling hills. Expect to get very outdoorsy with hot springs, rivers, lakes and waterfalls nearby. Activities include horseback riding, mountain climbing, archery, and trips to the active White Island Volcano.

Vacation like a millionaire mogul:

You've landed at: Necker Island, British Virgin Islands

What happens next? You never know, but you might even bump into Richard Branson who owns the island. The paradise island resort reopened in October 2018, boasting a newly resorted Great House as well as a Balinese style house. The villas have private outdoor Jacuzzis and panoramic views of the Caribbean, the Atlantic, and neighbourhood islands.

Work on your mind, body, and soul:

You've landed at: The Farm an San Benito in Batangas, Philippines

What happens next? Sign up for a world-class detox programs, such as the favourite Detox -D'Lite 4 to 6-night program, which includes meals, workouts, and the careful guidance of medical specialists. Mental health is just as important, and at The Farm they also have spiritual enrichment therapies.

Work hard now, play harder later:

You've landed at: Kizuna in Niseko, Japan

What happens next? There's no better place for skiing and snowboarding in Asia than at Niseko. While it's quiet, warm and green during the summer, November till March sees crowds of families and friends, even kids going for ski lessons. Kizuna is located in Upper Hirafu which makes its location most convenient, and it's one of the most luxurious properties in Niseko with prime views of Mount Yotei.
