Bahay Na Bato

The house, aptly called "Bahay na Bato," was made from the stones and pebbles found along the beaches of the municipality. After all, Luna is the Pebble Capital of the North and stone-picking is one of its booming industries. 

It wasn't long before the secret was outed to the public. In 2015, with encouragement from the local tourism, the medical couple opened the house as a tourist destination. Soon after, the local tourism office recorded a significant number of guests to the new attraction. In a report by Ilocos News, Bahay na Bato registered almost 20,000 visitors during the Christmas holiday after the opening.

Aside from promoting Luna as must-visit spot in La Union, the attraction also generated jobs for residents of Luna. 

The house is open for any occassions such as weddings, baptisms, birthday parties, and other functions. Families and friends who want to enjoy a memorable night under the stars can sit around the bonfire pits. Swimming isn't allowed for safety reasons but the beach provides a good spot for listening to the music made by the crashing of the waves onto the pebble-filled shore. Listen to it and you might just fall asleep because of the meditative beat.

FYI!

From San Juan, head north to the town of Luna and check out Bahay Na Bato, the newest tourist attraction in the province. Built from stones found along Luna’s rare pebbled beaches, the rest house sits on a peaceful property owned by Dr. Edison and Dr. Purita Chan-Noble. In the interiors and around the grounds, you can find many interesting stone and wooden sculptures made by Korean artist, Bong Kim. The artistic feel of the place reminded me a lot of the Black Houses in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
