Ilaya Retreat Spa Named Finalist at the 1st Philippine Tourism Awards

MILESTONE for Ilaya Retreat Spa
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.

This recognition was given yesterday during the 1st Philippine Tourism Award PTA at Okada Manila and was received on our behalf by Mr. Marlon Navarro, General Manager of Damires Hills Farm and Spa Resort, Janiuay Iloilo.
Being included among these respected names reminds us how far we’ve come and motivates us to keep offering genuine Filipino wellness experiences.
