Finca de arrieta is not your usual holiday location. It's a group of yurts (yes, yurts) and villas in a finca by the seaside village of Arrieta on the northeastern coast of Lanzarote. It's an Eco resort. That means all power is off grid. And recycling is a way of life. The yurts are fabulous - very comfy and pretty.... More

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at the Finca de Arrieta. From the moment we were collected us at the airport the hospitality was fantastic, and their love of Lanzarote was so contagious that it was a big factor in us falling in love with the place as well. Travel tips including everything from Manrique spots (inspiring), to... More

I confess: I was a Canary Islands snob. I thought they were all full of lobster-pink Brits and pubs offering Full Englishes. Then I found the Finca online and I'm so glad I put my preconceptions aside. Yes, lots of the Canary Islands might be over-developed, tour-group-heavy pockets of every tourist stereotype but not Lanzarote. Thanks to the thoughtful and... More

We were searching for weeks looking for a good place to stay but were bored of the usual chain hotels, all inclusives and self catering flats. When we stumbled on this place online and knew it was right. The vibe is spot on - relaxed, accommodating, low impact and original. We were staying in the Eco Twin Yurt and were... More

You might think that because this is the second time we’ve visited that this was always going to be a positive review. Our expectations were even higher this time, especially since we were escaping -4 snow blizzards in the UK. Well the truth is, it was even better. Tilla, Michelle and their kids (who own the retreat) have not rested... More

We have just returned from a 7 night stay. I can't recommend this place enough. When we arrived we were welcomed by champagne in the fridge, tea, coffee and snacks ... Very useful ! The resort was very peaceful and relaxed and great to be off grid and rely on nature to provide electric etc ... Certainly what we wanted... More

We stayed in both the Garden Cottage at the finca and the Fisherman's Cottage in Arrieta. Overall we had a fantastic time - it is an amazing place, with the most wonderful relaxing atmosphere, views to die for, and just about the right combination of eco principles and comfort. Sally was a brilliant hostess, and the more I think back... More

We stayed in the Eco Fisherman's Cottage on the sea front in Arrieta. The cottage is nicely appointed with stylish furniture from a popular Swedish brand, however this does not detract from the gorgeous rustic interior of this former fishermans cottage. The layout has been carefully considered to allow an incredible view from the raised bath. Get up early to... More

From my initial phone call with Sarah in the office, I knew this was going to be the sort of easy, child-friendly holiday we were looking for. "We'll pick you up from the airport. What size car seats do you need? They'll be in the car from the airport, and in your hire car ready for you." First impressions of... More
