Eco Luxury Yurt Suite

Our 53m2 luxury yurt suite – one of the largest yurts on the finca – is finished to a very high standard by a local interior designer and, with its own walled garden and terrace, provides superb sustainable accommodation for a family, or for a couple who prefer lots of private space.

Inside this authentic Mongolian yurt, which measures 8m in diameter, special touches include plush fabrics, wood-style flooring and handpicked antique Mongolian hardwood furniture such as the super king-size bed. There are also two single beds and a double sofa bed. The solid floor and traditional two-skin cover keep the yurt draft-free and ensure a constant ambient temperature. A central skylight allows ventilation as well as romantic star-gazing.

Outside, the yurt benefits from a private, tranquil setting, which makes it perfect for family use. Its 325 sq m split-level terrace and garden is stone-walled and gated, with plenty of safe play space, and features a shaded daybed and hammock (parents of young children should be aware there are steps between the two terrace levels). The spacious bathroom oozes indulgence, with a wooden tub, walk-in shower, toilet, and feature marble floor and sink. There is a covered outdoor kitchen, with granite-topped breakfast bar, which is fully equipped for self-catering. An additional covered terrace area has teak furniture for six, for al-fresco dining in the sun or under the stars and there is an exotically planted gravelled area with barbecue.

The elevated position of the yurt suite means its private outdoor area – complete with sun loungers – has fabulous views over the whole eco retreat, down to the sea and the local fishing village of Arrieta. There is also a second, shared, shower room and toilet, covered kitchen and lounge in the pool and chill-out area nearby.

The price per night is based on upto 4 guests sharing the Eco Luxury Yurt Suite. For an additional guest, there is an extra charge of €10 per night.

Finca De Arrieta

Most of our eco properties – the Eco Yurts, Eco Garden Cottage and Eco Luxury Villa – are situated on the beautiful 30,000-metre estate, Finca de Arrieta, which is also the site of our family home. Originally farming land, it has been lovingly transformed into a rural idyll, featuring mature exotic gardens, including mango, banana, guava and lime trees, vegetable gardens, animal enclosures and a play area – all partly walled in stone found on the finca. For more information on yurts, visit our What is a yurt? page.

Guests have shared use of a solar-heated 10-metre lap pool and plunge pool, as well as a chill-out area with shaded Polynesian-style daybed – all in a gated mature garden setting with sea and mountain views. Here you’ll also find a spacious covered open room with hardwood floor for guests’ use. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen, dining space for eight, authentic Moroccan floor seating and a further toilet and shower room. It’s the perfect place to relax, read or enjoy a meal.

Lanzarote Retreats has nine ecological properties and we’re very proud of our green credentials. All are off the national grid, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy a sustainable holiday, experiencing first-hand what it’s like living with solar panels, wind turbines and using the latest renewable energy technology, which makes the most of our wonderful Lanzarote weather. You’ll be surprised at the luxury of our accommodation.

The Location

Just 30 kilometres from the capital Arrecife, with its airport and ferry terminal, Finca de Arrieta remains an off-the-beaten-track location – the perfect setting for a relaxing, peaceful holiday in the Canarian countryside with the bonus of being just 300 metres from the beach.

This is a wonderful place to experience the true Lanzarote lifestyle. Five minutes’ walk will bring you to the beautiful sandy beach at Arrieta, an authentic Canarian fishing village, where you’ll find good-value seafront tapas bars and restaurants, supermarkets, shops and a bakery.

Eco Credentials

All our eco properties except one – the Eco Fisherman’s Cottage – are situated on our rural retreat, Finca De Arrieta. The whole estate runs on a 48-volt system, the largest on Lanzarote, which efficiently powers the nine eco-friendly dwellings on-site, including our family home.

Pick your own produce: our mature exotic gardens include mango, papaya, banana, guava, fig, lemon and lime trees and our organic vegetable gardens yield potatoes, onions, tomatoes and herbs. Guests are free to help themselves in season and – along with the daily supply of eggs from our 100 free-range hens – cook up a meal straight from the land.
