Nawa Wellness

Nawa Wellness is a resort on a sleepy peninsula south of Manila built around Hilot, the ancient Filipino healing tradition, rather than around a pool bar and a gift shop. Rooms range from a colonial Manila-era house to thatched Malay cabanas, with a presidential villa sitting somewhere in the middle of generous gardens. The Panari Spa folds traditional Filipino practice into modern therapy, and the kitchen serves food that is, against the odds, both medicinal and delicious.
