In just four years, Ilaya Retreat Spa has already made its mark—becoming a finalist at the Philippine Tourism Awards alongside prestigious, multi-awarded wellness destinations such as The Farm at San Benito, Nurture Wellness Village, and Amuma Spa of Maribago Blue Water Cebu.

Being included among these respected names reminds us how far we’ve come and motivates us to keep offering genuine Filipino wellness experiences.
