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.

La Ecotower es una habitación fantástica, muy tranquila, limpia y elegante a 10 minutos a pie de Arrieta. Se encuentra en un complejo muy cuidado con piscina, espacios comunes y verdes con algunos animales. El lugar es perfecto para explorar el norte de la isla. La recomiendo encarecidamente.

The Eco Tower has amazing views over the unique landscape. It\'s romantic, well equipped, clean and has a really comfortable bed. Loved curling up on one of the chairs outside with a book, glass of local wine (provided by the Honesty shop) and views to the beach and beyond. Smooth transition from the airport to the village is aided by a glass of fizz and a local knowledgeable driver. The village is well designed, each of the accommodations has it\'s own private outside area and all tastefully furnished. We strolled down to the beach for a delicious lunch; had a swim and sunbathe with friends and enjoyed a yoga session in the pool area; collected eggs from the village chickens for breakfast. The hybrid car which came with the Eco Tower enabled us to discover the island a bit more : Mirador del Rio with it\'s breath taking views, Tequise for restaurants, Casa Omar Sharif for a cocktail. 3 days was not enough, we\'ll definitely be back.

Perfect stay at Michelle's eco tower, we loved all the attention such as the welcome basket, and the place is awesome. Thank you!

Such a friendly welcome! We were picked up at the airport by a member of staff and driven to the retreat which looked amazing as we approached we saw huge palm trees surrounding the yurts and a round tower. We were staying at The Eco Tower and entering the tower we felt very comfortable with its lavish furnishing and large round bed. The next morning we walked to the eco farm where where we collected fresh eggs from the chickens and popped into the honest shop to get fresh bread for our breakfast. Everything at Lanzarote retreats is Relaxing and natural and you feel that its a great place to be staying , if you love Lanzarote like we do then this is a must place to book an alternative but luxurious holiday!

Just returned from an amazing stay in finca. I will try my best to keep this short but there is sooo much to say. Myself and my other half are residents of lanzarote, we are a couple aged 30s..40s, with no children. We both work very hard here on the island in the tourism industry and unlike the uk when holiday time comes around its difficult to get from here to other countries on a budget. I had heard from friends about the eco accommodation and loved the idea. I practise reiki and always love an opportunity to chill out in a very natural environment. The finca de arrieta turned out to be a delight with so much more to offer than expected and the perfect escape from our busy little holiday resort. Our house for the week (eco tower) beautiful, cosy, and romantic and ideal for anyone looking for a special private honeymoon spot. The pool area is tranquill and small meaning it feels more personal than your average hotel. The staff are fantastic, friendly, welcoming and almost gives the feel of them welcoming you into their very own home. Happy for a chat and to attend to any queries, great advice on places to visit and eat and respectful of privacy. Sally very kindly allowed me to explore the resort and to have a look inside some of the other accommodation available. All stunning and unique with private areas...gardens, dinning, bathrooms, kitchen..toys available for children in each yurt/cottage and also around the pool. Very impressive places to stay and magical for any child I can imagine. To sum it up this place is beautiful. You feel relaxed from the minute you step inside the gates and it continues after returning home. The easy going feel of the place...helping yourself to items from the fridge, shop...and being trusted to settle the bill when convenient for you, relaxing around the pool area enjoying proud parents play with their children in the pool. Collecting fresh eggs for breakfast from the chikens, saying a hello to molly the donkey. Very family friendly but also perfect for couples looking for the personal touch to just relax and enjoy quality time with one and other. its a massive massive thumbs up for me and I certainly will be returning in the future. wonderful.

We absolutely loved our stay in the Eco Tower, it far exceeded our expectations. It was so romantic and private with a lovely area to sit outside and look out over the mountains and across to the beach. It is elevated so we could see such lovely views. It was nice and quiet and non-commercial so just what we were looking for. The little town nearby has lovely restaurants also. We will definitely be returning and looking forward to trying out the Eco Yurt as we got a tour of the retreat and this one looks fabulous. Thanks again for a brilliant time and looking forward to a return visit.... X

We stayed one week at the Eco Tower and everything was perfect. The Tower is not really big but it's very romantic and comfortable for a couple!! The communal area is very good and the swiming pool it's amazing. We spent a lot of time there just relaxing. For sure we will come back!! Thanks a lot. Silvia and Raul

We stayed for one week in the eco tower. The views are exeptional, sea to front and mountains to rear, fab views of the galaxy at night. The tower is small but perfectly formed, with absolutely every convenience in a well designed area. A romantic iddyl by candlelight and lamp, tasteful decor & drapery. Perfect hosts, Michelle, Sally & Tila were discreet but available & informative when required. Also a special mention for budding 'hostess' Monique, who is absolutely charming. I would recommend the paella evening to meet the finca 'community' and La Graciosa trip. We were especially fortunate in enjoying the company of Barry & Sylvie on a walk on the island's coast, fab company to complement the views. I would highly recommend visiting sights bearing the influence of Manrique, spectacular links between art & nature, a house out of a bond movie, cacti, water, volcanoes..... A week is just not long enough.

We stayed in the lovley eco tower for one week and it was bloooooming lovely!! The desigin of the whole place, eco tower and all the shared area was absolutly stunning, really simple and beautiful. The eco tower itself is done so tastfully its perfect for a couple to stay in. Every window you look out has an exceptional view and it was nice and peaceful away from all the noise of a mainstream commercial holiday. We would highly reccomend the paella night, it was so lovely to meet michelle and moniqe that night, and also we had a really good chat to Barry, one of their friends who plays the sax for the paella night which was beautiful.
We will definately be going back!! Everybody there is so friendly and welcoming we were sad to leave! Thank you very very very very much!!!!!

Carol & Robin

We really enjoyed our 2-night stay at the Eco Tower and honestly couldn�t fault it. Booking was easy, and the welcome pack and extra help getting us from A to B to our ongoing destination in Le Graciosa was fantastic and made our trip easy and hassle-free. The tower itself is stunning and the views exceptional. Highly recommended.

If you need a top romantic place, in a sunny-friendly-so lovely eco-farm location... you can choose Finca de Arrieta eyes closed. And the Eco Tower for the direct view on the beach when you're lying in bed is just wow! we spent almost two weeks there, (and a few days in the so so lovely eco casita: bigger than the eco tower, plus a full kitchen and a private terrace/garden) and we absolutely recommend them both to you. We loved everything in our everyday life, the "quest" for fresh eggs every morning, saying hello to all chickens/donkey/dogs/cats/(people too,)) you meet on the way... having breakfast near the pool, having a lie on the polynesian day-bed just aside, playing punk-pong (a wicked alternative to simpler ping-pong game,)), surfing some great waves in white-sandy beaches, having a trip on Isla Graciosa and playing at Robinson Crusoe lost in paradise, enjoying BBQs at night under an amazing stars-sky... everything is well thought, so lovely, that you definitely can't not being moved by that place! To tell you the truth we're already planning our next trip, and definitely want to have a longer stay here in the Finca. Arrieta is by the way our favourite village in Lanzarote, typically old fishermans' "pueblo", we loved everything in it: design of the houses, the bridge from which you can jump in a transparent sea (with huuge fish just swimming with you!), eating and drinking excellent and typical fish and wines in such an amazing tapas bars ( : "el pisquito" is the best!very local,so good and just in front of the sea!), lovely beach, nice waves for surfing (although caleta de famara is obviously made for surf lovers, wow, we loved it too!!) small streets, so nice people... our stay was just perfect, we're ready for the next one,)) oh and I almost forgot to tell you how great people are Michelle, Tila, and all the Finca de Arrieta Team... just meet them and fell in love with everything there...
Bless you all mates, and take care! xxx!

Chris and Andrea

Just got back from a brilliant 8 night stay in the eco tower. The setting was perfect for a relaxing holiday. The tower was beautifully designed, with a nice big bed. The views from every window were amazing, sea and beach on one side, the mountains in the other, stunning! The owners Michelle and Tila, and Sally the manager were lovely, warm and welcoming. Sally was very helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. The local village of Arrieta is 5 - 10 mins walk away, with some great places to eat, especially El Pisquito\\\'s tapas bar by the sea, and the first beach bar you come to is also very friendly with great food . We hired a car for the day and Sally gave us an itinerary of where to visit,must recommend the seaside village of El Golfo for lunch!
All in all a very relaxing place , we will definitely be back.

Nous avons s�journ� du 18 au 26 ao�t 2012 � la Finca, un s�jour ensoleill� (pour que Mme bronze), chaud, et en partie vent� (pour que Mr puisse faire de la planche � voile).
Nous avons pu visiter l'ile au moyen de la voiture lou�e avec Michelle durant la semaine, nous avons ador� l'ile, particuli�rement tout ce qui avait attrait aux volcans, et � C�sar Manrique.
Nous avons particuli�rement appr�ci� la vie � la Finca, nous avons pu profiter des animaux qui partageaient nos repas et moments de d�tente dans les parties communes. L'honesty shop fut �galement tr�s pratique notamment pour le pain frais. Nous avons particuli�rement appr�ci� la pr�sence discr�te de tout le personnel, souriant et accueillant, toujours pr�t � rendre service et � se couper en 4.
Nous reviendrons sans aucun doute, probablement dans l'eco tower qui pour nous deux �tait id�al avec une vue panoramique � couper le souffle!!!!! si nous emmenons des amis, nous choisirons alors parmis les autres locations tout aussi tentantes.
