Activities
At Finca de Arrieta
There's so much to do at the retreat that you'll have to remind yourself there's the rest of Lanzarote to explore too! Kids will love meeting other children at the play park, jumping on the trampoline and visiting the animals, where you can collect your own eggs every morning and feed the hens, donkeys and ducks. And that's without mentioning the swimming pool and beach!
There's also a library, and a concierge available 7 days a week to organise trips and provide information on the island.
Places to Visit
The Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism - Consisting of seven essential places to visit across the island, these attractions combine natural beauty with innovation, art with eco. Tickets for entry to 4 or 6 centres are available, to be used over a 7 day period. You can purchase these from any tourist information office.
Timanfaya or Fire Mountains - the breath taking beauty of the lunar landscape
Monumento Al Campensino Museum - museum created to celebrate the local crafts people
Cueva De Los Verdes - experience the flow of the lava with the huge lava tube
Jameos Del Agua - natural rock pool and music auditorium created by Manrique
Jardin de Cactus - the stylish and artistic home to millions of cacti
Castillo De San Jose - stylish art gallery and restaurant overlooking the ocean
Mirador Del Rio - stunning lookout over the tiny island of La Graciosa
The Vineyards of La Gería - With their traditional methods of cultivation, the vineyards in the centre of the island are a protected area. Single vines are planted in pits 4-5m wide and 2-3m deep, with small stone walls around each pit. This agricultural technique is designed to harvest rainfall and overnight dew and to protect the plants from the winds. The vineyards are part of the World Heritage Site. A visit to one of the many family owned bodegas in this area is a must do during your stay.
La Graciosa Island Day Trip - La Graciosa is the smallest inhabited island of the Canary Islands and remains unspoilt with no roads, just 500 inhabitants and fantastic white sandy beaches, a perfect place to spend a day of your holiday. With its relaxed and under developed vibe, the island prides itself on resisting the pull of mainstream tourism and its magical charm comes from its simplicity.
Finca de Arrieta offers a package giving you the opportunity of spending a day on La Graciosa, including return boat trip, lunch and a visit to the island's best beach.
