A far cry from the high rise, fly and flop package holiday resorts that mar some of the Canary islands, Finca del Arietta is an ethically designed, luxurious, private estate close to the tranquil fishing village of Arrieta on Lanzarote's north coast. Owned by ex-pats Michelle and Tila, who live on site with their own brood of youngsters, the 30-acre coastal farm is now home to two small villas and six yurts, each sleeping from 2-8, and all designed following the principles of Lanzarote's most famous architect, Caesar Manrique - with sympathy towards the natural beauty of the location and protection of the environment.
All nine properties, including Tila and Michelle´s home, enjoy shared use of the solar heated, outdoor pool and second jet pool, as well as the kids play areas, P.Y.O organic vegetable plot and access to the cluster of friendly farm animals including Molly the donkey. The traditional Canarian fishing village of Arietta with its sandy beach and small selection of shops and cafe bars is within 300m walk, although via an unevenfarm track, which can be tricky to navigatewith buggies orin the dark, so car hire is recommended.

Finca de Arrieta is set just 300 metres from the beach and centre of the small village of Arrieta on Lanzarote's peaceful north coast. The village is little changed by the passage of time and unspoilt by mass tourism. Here visitors will still witness first hand fishermen in their traditional wood fishing boats and farmers ploughing fields with their donkeys.
The village has a cluster of shops, seafront restaurants and cafés. Arrieta has two beaches, one in the village next to Fisherman’s Cottage and the other in front of "Finca de Arrieta". These are child friendly beaches and on the main sandy beach there is a beach bar, restaurant, play park and toilet/shower facilities. For any fishing equipment and general supplies the Petrol station/ Mini Market at the entrance to the village is open from 8am to 9pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
For a small, traditional village, Arietta is well blessed with seafood eateries, five of which have seaside terraces or beach locations. The informal El Kiosko does a good line in tapas and a huge paella for Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes. Whilst, at the other end of the beach, Casa de la Playa is highly rated for more formal meals.
Finca de Arietta's owner, Michelle, lives on site with her four children and is a fabulous resource for planning excursions, activities or meals out, just ask!

Our holiday was absolutely brilliant, the Finca de arrieta is an amazing place to stay, very welcoming, and relaxing. Lanzarote deserves a different reputation, it has so much to offer! Our girls really enjoyed it too, loads of things on the Finca to keep them happy. We'll be going back I am sure.

we had a fantastic 2 week stay in the Eco Yurt Suite this August. The Finca is a brilliant set-up and offers a lot for the family, lazing by the pool on the great Morrocan daybed, taking daytrips to the surprisingly wonderful things the island has to offer, having a donkey ride on Mollie, collecting the eggs in the morning from the hens. It was so lovely we'd definitely like to go back, this is from a family who has never returned anywhere before! Don't be put off by any preconceptions you might have of the isalnd (we had plenty!) this place is an absolute gem, and walking distance form the beach and lovely resturants, activities for kids, and grown-ups, brilliant friendly hosts, a definite thumbs up from us!

This was our first holiday as a family, and it was truly one to remember and cherish. We stayed in the Yurt Suite - it was really beautiful and stylish and finished to a very high standard and extremely comfortable and suitable for our 1 yr old to roam around. Michelle and Tila provided all the necessary equipment for us and most importantly a warm welcome. The activities on site, from the pool to collecting eggs, the trampoline and the donkey ride were great entertainment for both parents and child! Our kind hosts should be very proud of their achievements in creating a stylish, beautiful environmentally friendly experience for their guests. I would highly recommend a stay here, and look forward to hopefully going back in the near future
