The Quiet Place Farm Resort





Journey to the heart of quiet, within the restful and healing embrace of nature at The Quiet Place Farm Resort...

Set on 25 hectares of sloping terrain fringed with trees, The Quiet Place Farm Resort is part of a fully functioning agricultural estate in Bago City, an area planted mostly to rice in the largely sugar producing province of Negros Occidental. The resort offers a unique opportunity to experience rural life in the tropics without the sacrifice of comfort. Twenty-six air- conditioned rooms with modern conveniences and a full-service restaurant ensure a pleasant, enjoyable and comfortable stay. There is also the resort's Ayo Spa and Wellness Center offering a menu of Asian and Filipino health traditions using tropical oils and essences produced on site or in neighboring communities. 

For less quiet pursuits at the resort, there is a swimming pool, several open air pavilions for parties and events of 30 to 200, an air- conditioned meeting room for 40, a library with a computer with internet connection, a children's play park, a camping ground, a hiking trail, fishing, boating, billiards, table tennis and other board games, barbecue pits for outdoor picnics and rows upon rows of orchids, bromeliads and heliconia to enjoy.

What to do

Engage your senses with a walk through a path in a forest of tropical trees, alive with the singing of birds and the rustle of the leaves as the wind gently weaves through them. Pass by verdant rice fields carved from the gently sloping hills and through rows of sugarcane and banana trees and allow your eyes to relax as they feast on nature's palette in various shades of green, brown and gold. Nourish the spirit in a garden filled with the heady scent and color of tropical blooms. Worship the sun by the free-form swimming pool. Get on board a small boat named Courage and glide through a lake covered with hyacinth and teeming with fish. Find a quiet corner to read a book. Gather duck eggs and pick mushrooms at the crack of dawn. Go for a game of billiards or table tennis, boating on the lake or biking through the paved path walks. Test your energy levels at the Children's Play Park. Within the peaceful and tranquil environment of this green sanctuary, embark on a two-way communion with nature. 

Getting There

Negros Occidental is one half of the island of Negros, the Philippines'4th largest island. It is about 55 minutes by plane from the country's main gateway, Manila, and 25 minutes from Cebu, its second city and main hub in the Visayas islands.

Three airlines fly 7 times daily from Manila to Bacolold City, the provincial capital, with one daily flight linking it to Cebu.
  • Philippine Airlines
  • Cebu Pacific
  • Air Philippines

Several shipping lines ply the 20 hour route between Manila and Bacolod, offering a leisurely and comfortable alternative to flying.Iloilo, an entry point to the famous Boracay, is a short 45 minute ferry ride away, with regular trips throughout the day.

From downtown Bacolod City, The Quiet Place Farm Resort is a pleasant 20 minute drive. Shuttle transfers from Bacolod may be arranged through the Sales Office. If traveling by private vehicle, turn left to Abuanan after the Sum-ag High School Campus and drive straight for approximately 4 kilometers. 

The Resort's Main Gate is on the left, fronting the Kilometer 14 marker. Alternatively, if taking public transportation, take any south-bound bus or jeepney and get off at the corner of Abuanan Road in Sum-ag. From there, numerous tricycles drive straight to the
resort's reception area.
