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 sixteen properties, enjoy shared use of the solar heated, outdoor pool and second jet pool, as well as the kids play areasand 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 uneven farm track, which can be tricky to navigate with buggies in the dark, so a torch is recommended if you're planning on eating at the sea front restaurant.

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
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!
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.
Great place for pre-school children, our toddler loved the Donkey riding.
A simply perfect place to relax and chill out with your family. Everything is taken care of for you and the setting is stunning. Can't wait to go back.
Villa was spacious and had everything we needed. Outdoor Space also excellent. Although yurts around us had feel of no one else around. Just right size for family of 4.
A lovely spacious villa.
