Location
Arrieta
The village of Arrieta has 400 inhabitants and is set in the northern municipality of Haria, the most traditional area of Lanzarote and ideal for the more independent traveller. This northern part of Lanzarote does not offer purpose-built resorts such as Costa Teguise, Puerto Del Carmen or Playa Blanca. Arrieta is a small traditional Canarian fishing village which has learnt to adapt to meet the demands of some low-key tourism. Among other things, the village offers wonderful sea front fish restaurants, a very good pizzeria take away and a supermarket. As with other villages in the north, Arrieta is peaceful, tranquil and is ideal if you are looking to be away from the neon lit bars and nightclubs found within the tourist resorts of Lanzarote.
Arrieta is one of the prettiest and most authentic fishing villages to still exist in Lanzarote today. It remains unspoiled and there is a rustic charm to many of its historic houses and coastal alleyways.
Arrieta boasts a beautiful beach called “Playa de La Garita” which has fine golden sand and is 810m long. This beach has a restaurant and beach bar and also WC/showers, parking and play park. The waters generally remain calm throughout the year. This beach is ideal for first-time surfing, body boarding, sunbathing, swimming, wave jumping, sand castle making, sunrise spotting, fishing and dining at the beach bar or restaurant.

Emily Lamey
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for such a brilliant, relaxed, chilled and fun holiday!
We were very very lucky to be able to make it out to you and enjoy our time, especially in the light of all that is happening now with the self isolating. Thank you so much for looking after us and we will be back!!
Jean-Roland & Rozenn Truffley
Séjour très agréable dans un environnement atypique.
Very pleasant stay in an atypical environment.
Rike Terpe
Location: beautiful, quiet, close to the beach
Accommodation: something different, sleeping in a yurt is almost like sleeping under the open sky, this time we stayed in one of the "solid" accommodations, also very nice
staff: very friendly, always open for questions, good information about what to do on the island.
We had a wonderful time - again!
Roy Brewer
Great place to stay - lovely friendly people and really good accommodation. Our only reservation was the return transfer which wasn't really VIP - just a taxi driving too fast. Otherwise brilliant.
