Salvador Benedicto, officially the Municipality of Salvador Benedicto and also known as Don Salvador Benedicto, is a 4th class municipality in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 25,662 people.
The municipality is a post-colonial provincial hill station and designated as the Summer Capital of Negros Occidental, a very popular tourist site amongst locals and foreigners seeking a moment of serenity away from the hustle-bustle of huge cities.

Not many people consider the high elevation of the mountains as an ideal place to live in. Unlike those from lower terrains, being atop the mountains has its own unique set of challenges even for the mundane of daily living.
But when you speak of a settlement of people which is at the heart of the mountain, no place probably best exemplifies its description than the municipality of Don Salvador Benedicto in Negros Occidental.
Although much about Don Salvador Benedicto is a sight to behold, it also is a place of notable landmarks, too, namely the Lantawan or Viewing Deck which overlooks the Malatan-og waterfalls, the verdant and nature-centric Villa Ica, and the Pine Trees which lines up the major which connects the village of Igmaya-an to Poblacion.
One of the most charming places to visit when in Negros Occidental, the Municipality of Don Salvador Benedicto. The place lies at the mid-centre of the hinterlands of the entire North of the Province of Negros Occidental. It was primarily established to consolidate all the remote Barangays of one city and two municipalities which seemed neglected, considering the inaccessibility of the area to each corresponding population-centers due to the distance, terrains and road conditions.
