Imagine waking up to morning dew on tropical plants and the soothing sounds of nature. Nestled within Quezon province's verdant landscapes, 8 Aliliw is more than a destination; it’s a sanctuary for the soul. Initially a private retreat for Chicoy Estiñoso and Russ Juson, this haven has transformed into a holistic healing sanctuary that rejuvenates, relaxes, and restores balance to all who visit.
Upon arrival at 8 Aliliw, the beauty and serenity envelop visitors. The cool, crisp air, rustling leaves, and birdsong transport them to a state of calm. This eco-luxury farm, spanning a vast rainforest, offers a serene escape from city life. The name "8 Aliliw" symbolizes infinity, reflecting the continuous rejuvenation guests experience. Named after the barangay it resides in, the farm aims to involve the local community in its development.
8 Aliliw is dedicated to holistic healing, offering wellness programs tailored to modern needs. Whether seeking to de-stress, detoxify, or unwind, guests find comprehensive healing experiences. The standout Therapeutic Hilot Massage, an ancient Filipino practice, harmonizes body, mind, and spirit using deep, soothing strokes to release tension and restore energy flow. The farm also hosts boutique retreats, including yoga, meditation, leadership seminars, and team-building events, ensuring transformative experiences for all attendees.
The farmhouse stay blends rustic charm with modern comfort, offering cozy retreats with stunning rainforest views. Guests interested in sustainable living can engage in organic farming practices, from planting to harvesting, gaining a deeper appreciation for the land.
A delightful aspect of 8 Aliliw is its farm-to-table dining. Most produce comes from their greenhouse, ensuring fresh, organic meals that foster a deep connection between guests and the land. Guests savor vibrant salads, hearty soups, and exquisite mains crafted with freshly harvested produce. Soon, a new café will expand culinary delights, making 8 Aliliw a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
8 Aliliw plans to add a yoga house, spa, and luxurious villas, enhancing its wellness offerings. These additions will ensure every guest finds the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate.
Once a secret known mainly to life coaches and spiritual ceremony attendees, 8 Aliliw has gained attention through Russ Juson’s social media, attracting his 500k+ followers. The farm’s "Soulpreneur Retreat" drew famous entrepreneur influencers and digital creators, cementing 8 Aliliw as a haven for personal and professional growth.
