On an eco-retreat in sunny Lanzarote, just a few minutes from a lovely sandy beach, you will find an authentic Mongolian yurt where you can enjoy unique accommodation, peaceful surroundings and wonderful sea and mountain views. If you're a couple wanting a romantic escape, you’ve come to the right place.
If you’re after a sustainable holiday in the sunshine then this is it. The yurt is solid and luxurious so you’ll want for nothing in terms of home comforts, and the views from your private terrace are wonderful. And yet this whole retreat is powered by wind and solar energy, so you're definitely doing your bit for the natural world. With a stunning mountain backdrop, a beach just moments away, an array of shared facilities available and an unspoilt sky full of stars above you, this is a truly distinctive and romantic spot.
Finca de Arrieta is a 30,000 metre estate which features mature exotic gardens full of mango banana, guava and lime trees, and spectacular sea and mountain views in every direction. The Finca is wonderfully located just 300 metres from a sandy beach where you will find a seafront restaurant and bar, and the traditional fishing village of Arrieta has a good selection of restaurants and shops. In the water you can surf, sail, dive, fish, swim or windsurf, and around the island you can hike, bike, bird watch, wine taste, shop at local markets, take part in colourful fiestas and visit attractions like Rancho Texas Park and the various Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism. The mountain village of Haria is just a short drive away, and all along the coast there are golden beaches to discover. You could even take a boat over to La Graciosa, the smallest inhabited island in the Canaries.
Getting There:
The village of Arrieta is located on the North East coast of the island of Lanzarote. The island's only airport is located in Arrecife which is a 30 minute drive away (airport transfers can be arranged). You do not need a car in Arrieta as you have restaurants, shops and the beach on your doorstep but a car is essential for exploring the island. Flights to Lanzarote are available with Monarch, Thomson, Thomas Cook, Easyjet, Jet2com and Ryanair.
