Batanes, Philippines

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Batanes is the most remote province in the Philippines and one of the most visually dramatic — Ivatan culture is distinct from anything else in the country and Filipinas here are genuinely curious about foreign visitors because so few make it up. For the man who makes the effort, the novelty factor is off the charts.

Mid score (6-8)

Getting to Batanes is expensive and weather-dependent — the islands are frequently cut off by typhoons and even in good weather flights from Manila fill up. The social scene is minimal; this is a small-population island group with traditional Ivatan culture. Come for the landscape, not the nightlife.

Lower score (below 6)

Batanes has fewer than 20,000 people spread across multiple islands and the entire social infrastructure is family and community-based. There's no dating scene here in any conventional sense. The flight costs and logistical hassle to get there are hard to justify for social travel purposes.
