    how this holiday makes a difference
    Environment:
    The eco yurt and all 4 properties at Finca De Arrieta are "Off the National Grid" and give guests the opportunity to experience firsthand, living with solar panels and wind turbines and using the latest renewable energy systems. We have installed the most up to date energy systems on offer, and they work very efficiently. The system in "Finca de Arrieta" is the largest on Lanzarote and runs on a 48 Volt system and has no problem powering the 4 dwellings on site. Other Green credentials include use of Grey water, Led lighting, solar pool heating, use of well water for pool, A+ class Fridge, organic fruit and veg and within walking/cycling distance to amenities.

    Other environmental practices we follow:
  • Waste reduction - We encourage recycling and have bins locally. Any organic waste can be given to our chickens.
  • Conserving water - We ask client to be use water sparingly. We use our own well water which is used for the swimming pool, we also use our grey water on our palm trees.
  • Conserving electricity – We use only Wind turbines and solar panels
  • Encouraging wildlife -We have planted many native trees and bushes to encourage birds.
  • Organic gardening practices - The retreat has a number of fruit trees and plants such as tomatoes, potatoes, spinach, basil strawberries etc..
  • Building materials - the entire retreat has been built using stone from the 30,000 meter estate.
  • The well and water tanks which are on the land and originally used for irrigating the farm land have been fully restored.
  • Measures to educate staff & guests about our environmental practices - We educate guests/staff and local schools on the eco energy system provided.
  • Office practices - We have low energy lighting, and reuse paper.

    Community:
    Local stone and trades men have helped bring the retreat to a beautifully finished paradise. We promote rural tourism and encourage our guests to eat out locally and use local amenities such as shops and sports facilities etc..We also encourage them to purchase local products.
  • Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people.
