Description of Family eco yurt in Lanzarote
Perfect for families with older children, or groups, these spacious traditional yurts provide unique and wonderfully stylish accommodation on the north Lanzarote coast.
Stay at a peaceful finca with a powerful eco-friendly ethos throughout, set within landscaped grounds and set just back from the beach. The two yurts sit side-by-side in their own fenced terrace and have a private bathroom with WC as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Or, why not whip up something special on the BBQ, while the family relax on the sun loungers?
You’ll have shared access to a communal swimming pool, which is heated by solar power, and the beach with the warm sea just beyond is a few minutes’ walk. All you’ll need for a relaxed family holiday is right here: the resort is primed with everything you’d want for newborns right up to older teens, including beach toys, high chairs and a variety of games. At the resort you can indulge in Pilates or yoga, while in the surrounding area there’s an enticing range of activities from golf to mountain biking and wine tasting available.
This trendy Lanzarote yurt accommodation is self-catering. Just down the coast, a few minutes’ walk, you’ve got a charming traditional fishing village with shops and restaurants.
If you've never stayed in a yurt before, it's an experience not to be forgotten. Kids of all ages especially will love it, as well as the amenities of the wider resort where family comes first.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The location is perfect. The eco village could not have been better.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
It was good to have a car to explore the island in. If we went again I would take advantage of the food menu on offer within the village.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The car was hybrid. There are arrangements for the recycling of plastic, glass etc. You can refill your glass water bottle. Waste food is fed to the chickens. Off grid electricity is used on side produced by the solar panels.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Amazing. We had s great time and would return.

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.
