Description of Canary Islands luxury yurt holiday
Enjoy a unique, and eco friendly, Lanzarote holiday at a sundrenched finca that’s a paradise for families. Stay in a spacious, luxuriously appointed 8m yurt, set within its own fenced and gated grounds benefitting from superb sea views.
The traditionally styled yurt comes with its own private shower / bathroom, as well as a fully equipped kitchen and BBQ. You can relax on sun loungers or a shaded day bed on the terrace while the kids scamper off to the on-site play park, or take them down to the gorgeous sandy beach which is located just 300m from the finca.
Your stay will be as environmentally friendly as possible. The finca makes uses of renewable energy, with a solar-heated pool. Low-volt LED lightbulbs are used throughout the property as are A+ rated appliances, and furnishings are made of mainly reclaimed wood.
Shops and restaurants are a short walk away in a traditional fishing village, and within the finca itself or nearby there is a huge range of activities available to you: yoga, Pilates, horse riding, surfing, golf, mountain biking, wine tasting – to name just a few.
This resort is a world away from the mega resorts you’ll find on so many Canarian islands – it’s peaceful, and just perfect for families with younger kids. They’ll love the unique experience of sleeping in a genuine yurt, collecting eggs from the henhouse for breakfast and visiting the resident donkey, as well as having so much to do nearby. There are poolside paella nights to enjoy, charming little tapas restaurants to discover, rock pools to explore and everything you’ll need for young children and toddlers can be provided, in case you forgot to pack it.
It’s no exaggeration that this Lanzarote yurt holiday will prove one of your more memorable getaways as a family.

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.
