A charming eco-friendly rural finca near the north coast of Lanzarote, offering self-contained cottages, therapeutic pools (including a sea-water pool), and a relaxed, sustainable atmosphere.
Finca de Arrieta is a thoughtfully designed eco-retreat set on the north coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain, within the small fishing village of Arrieta. The property operates on principles of sustainable and low-impact tourism, with self-contained cottages designed to minimise environmental footprint while maximising guest wellbeing. The finca occupies a plot of volcanic Lanzarote landscape dotted with cacti and local flora, positioned a short walk from the sheltered turquoise bay of Arrieta beach — one of the few genuinely calm and protected swimming beaches on Lanzarote's more exposed northern coast. Accommodation is offered in a range of individually designed eco-cottages of various sizes, capable of sleeping one to six guests, each equipped with a private kitchen, terrace, and basic amenities suited to self-catering stays. The most distinctive facilities at the finca are its therapeutic pools: a seawater pool fed directly with Atlantic water, a natural hot tub pool, and soaking baths set within the volcanic garden grounds. A yoga and meditation space hosts sessions and retreat programmes at certain periods of the year. An organic kitchen garden provides produce used in available food workshops and offerings. A deliberately relaxed and intentional rhythm defines the experience at Finca de Arrieta — mobile reception is limited in the area, Wi-Fi is available in communal areas only, and the overall ethos encourages genuine disconnection and rest. The surrounding north Lanzarote landscape offers easy access to the Jameos del Agua cave system, the César Manrique Foundation, and the lush Haría valley — all reachable within 15–30 minutes by car from Arrieta.

Tips for visiting
- Mobile signal and WiFi are limited at the finca — embrace the disconnected atmosphere, or clarify connectivity expectations with the property before arrival if important.
- Arrieta's fishing harbour has a row of excellent local seafood restaurants a short walk from the finca, particularly noted for grilled limpets (lapas a la plancha).
- Stock up on groceries in Arrecife or Haría before arriving; the nearest supermarket is approximately 15 minutes' drive from the village.
- Yoga sessions and wellness retreats run on a periodic schedule; check the finca's programme calendar before booking if this is a primary motivation.
- The seawater pool is most pleasant in the morning — afternoon north-east trade winds can make it noticeably cooler in summer months.
Accessibility
Finca de Arrieta's eco-cottage site includes outdoor paths across volcanic terrain that may present challenges for guests with mobility limitations. The cottages are single-storey units, eliminating stair issues within individual accommodation, but uneven ground between buildings and on the route to pool areas may not be suitable for wheelchair users. Guests with specific accessibility needs should contact the finca directly to discuss the most appropriate cottage and assess the site terrain.
