Eco Retreat
Try sunrise at Lanzarote´s Finca De Arrieta and be rendered speechless. Our Eco - Retreat occupies 30,000 square metres of spectacular scenery with views bordered by the sparkling ocean to one side and the black volcanic mountains on the other.
The estate, powered by the largest green energy system on the island, prides itself on offering ethically minded travellers the opportunity to enjoy a little luxury in their eco-lifestyle. Combine that with the charm of the nearby coastal village of Arrieta, the laid back atmosphere at the Finca offers any traveller the opportunity to discover an essence of the real Lanzarote.
Finca De Arrieta offers a number of different styles of accomodation, from a luxury villa to silk lined Mongolian Yurts, all beautifully and uniquely designed with Indonesian and Moroccan touches. The beautifully designed outdoor areas make the most of the warm climate. With sea and mountain views, solar powered pool and outdoor areas perfect for relaxation, each day at the Finca will be a unique holiday experience.
New for 2011, the retreat now offers additional services which include an onsite "honesty" shop and wine racks stocking a selection of locally produced wines. This supplements the delivery service of “Local Farm Produce Grocery Boxes”.
Younger visitors will be amused not only by collecting eggs from the free-range hens and meeting Mollie, our resident donkey, but also by letting off steam in the mini adventure playground with a wooden "pirate" boat and sunken trampoline.
With our family home on the Finca, we are able to act as local guides, hosts and most of all friends to guests, ensuring the most perfect holiday experience. Take a tour of Finca de Arrieta on You Tube, please note this was filmed "winter" 2009/2010.
