Check out my post here about this great hike.ĥ/ If you are staying in La Union then I would strongly recommend you stay at Nature’s Healing Home near San Fernando City. The pebbled beaches cause huge crashing waves so that swimming is very dangerous.Ĥ/ Luna is a great place to visit Tangadan falls from. It is open daily from 6 am to 8 pm.ģ/ I wouldn’t advise swimming at Luna. Stop at Balaoan, La Union and take a tricycle to Bahay na Bato.Ģ/ Admission is PhP 20 while kids who are below 4 years of age are free of charge. To get to Luna from Manila or Baguio, take a bus to Laoag, Vigan or Abra.

What do you think of Luna’s Bahay na Bato? What has been the best showcasing of local artists that you have seen? Please comment below.

Luna’s Bahay na Bato could just be one of my favourite places I have visited in the Philippines. The house can open for private occasions as well as overnight stays where you can sit under the stars around a fire pit listening to the crashing waves. With over 10,000 visitors in the first year, Bahay na Bato really has put Luna on the tourist trail. Following interest from the town’s Mayor, they decided to open their doors to tourists in 2014. The stone house was built in 2000 as a rest home for Dr. Within this building you can also buy snacks and drinks to escape the heat as, even with the sea breeze, after exposure to the sun the rocks radiate heat. The top balcony of the main house gives you a beautiful bird’s eye view of the strangely soft, but rugged coastline. Luna’s Bahay na Bato compound contains two houses, sculptures and a beautiful garden to stand in whilst looking down the endless pebbles to the crashing waves, bringing even more pebbles to the shore. However, Luna’s Bahay na Bato uses this amazing backdrop to surround and built a gallery to showcase local artists whilst causing minimal impact to the surrounding beach. Many locals line the beach with piles of pebbles graded in size and colour which are transported all over the Philippines. The major attraction to Luna’s Bahay na Bato is the scenic pebbled beach which has sadly turned into an industry. It inspires you however unartistic you are. Even down to the paving slabs, you are surrounded by quirky art. The grounds at Luna’s Bahay na Bato consist of large stone carvings such as hearts, flowers, animals and funny characters. However, wait until you visit Luna’s Bahay na Bato, which in translation means ‘stone house’.īuilt in Luna in La Union in the Philippines this really is a house and grounds, made of stone. A house made of stone doesn’t sound like that much of a spectacular place, I have to admit.
