Description of Yurt holiday accommodation in Lanzarote, Canary Islands
This yurt holiday in Lanzarote is located on a stunning family run finca with several other yurts on it. This holiday is in our twin luxury exo yurt, sleeping up to six guests, so ideal for a family or for four adults. Our lovingly designed eco yurts have their own sun terrace, as well as a private bathroom and outdoor kitchen, so there is plenty of privacy. We have used luxurious fittings throughout, from the marble flooring to the al fresco dining area. One yurt has a double bed and the other twin beds, they stay cool in summer and there is plenty of room, measuring 28m.
Our finca eco retreat aims for high environmentally friendly standards, the whole site covering 30,000 square metres, powered by solar and wind technology and offering low impact activities led by local expert guides. You also don’t need to have a car here, although we are happy to arrange rental of one if you like so that you can explore more of the island. If not, you can walk to the local fishing village, Arrieta for all your supplies as well as for restaurants and cafes. Arrieta beach, a favourite with local people, is just five minutes’ walk from our retreat.
Guests have use of all the retreat’s facilities including the 10m solar heated swimming pool, sunbeds, honesty shop as well as a large communal kitchen and lounge area. We are happy to organise any local activities for you, favourites including hiking with a local guide, surfing, road cycling and yoga.
We pride ourselves on being a family orientated finca, our own children having grown up here. Facilities for children include our gated pool area, resident donkey, hens, trampoline, table tennis and our family of farm cats and dogs. We are flexible for guests to bring pets with them. We also offer a babysitting service. For families of babies, please just ask, as we have all the equipment you will need.

Planet
Finca de Arrieta has a mix of stone-built cottages and yurts. The cottages are built with stone from our own 30,000 m² estate, and the yurts are non-permanent structures of wood and fabric, partly built with reclaimed timber. Every dwelling has low-voltage LED lighting and an A+ rated fridge and uses well water, and we fit water-saving half-flush toilets. Linen is changed once a week to save water.The whole Finca is off the national grid. Our own solar panels supply electricity to all 21 dwellings through a 48-volt system, with a backup generator for when solar power can't meet demand. Guests can see what living off-grid is like for themselves. Hot water is heated by gas.
We also offer Holiday Extras, including our paella night at the Finca (subject to availability and numbers).
The beach and Arrieta village are a short walk away, so many guests don't need a car. If you do need one, we can arrange a Toyota hybrid.
Other environmental practices we follow include:
- Waste reduction: recycling bins are close by, and food scraps go to our chickens.
- Conserving water: our own well water fills the swimming pool, grey water is reused to irrigate our palm trees, and we ask guests to use water sparingly.
- Electricity: our main supply is our own solar panels, with a backup generator.
- Pool heating: the pool is solar-heated.
- Encouraging wildlife: we have planted native trees and shrubs to provide habitat for birds.
- Building materials: local stonemasons and tradespeople built and restored the Finca using stone from the estate.
- Restoration: the old farm well and water tanks have been restored and are back in use.
- Sharing what we do: we show guests, staff and local schools how our off-grid solar system works.
- Office practices: low-energy lighting, and paper is reused.
