Batanes, also known as the “Home of the Winds,” is the Philippines’ smallest province, with only 230 kilometers of total land area. Part of Batanes’ allure stems from its relative isolation from busier and more crowded neighboring provinces.

As the country’s northernmost province, its distance, size, and small population help to preserve the area’s natural beauty and its people’s peaceful way of life. A trip to Batanes provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Batanes’ refreshingly chill and peaceful vibe provides both local and foreign visitors with a unique taste of island life. One that is simpler, more relaxed, and quiet, but unquestionably revitalizing.

For a country known for its tropical islands, Batanes’ rock formations and charming lighthouses stand out.
