Balivanich (Scottish Gaelic: Baile a' Mhanaich [palə ˈvanɪç]) is a village on the island of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland.
Balivanich is located on the north-west coast of Benbecula in a largely flat area (0 to 10 metres or 0 to 33 feet above sea level).
As with the rest of the British Isles and Scotland, Balivanich experiences a maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters, and is particularly windy due to its position directly facing the North Atlantic.
Benbecula Airport (Port Adhair Bheinn na Fadhla) (IATA: BEB, ICAO: EGPL) is located on the northern edge of the village.
In addition, the airport is used, due to its central location close to the hospital, as a landing site for rescue helicopters and aircraft.
