We are a family run business which has been growing rapidly since Summer 2007. The company is the creation of Tila and Michelle Braddock. The concept of Lanzarote Retreats developed from Tila and Michelle´s desire to offer stylish & eco-friendly holiday accommodation, mainly in and around Arrieta, a stunning, rural village in the North of the island, which they love and where they brought up their family. These days the business is run by Joshua, their eldest son. From organising car hire, arranging days out, providing child and nursery equipment to recommending restaurants and beaches, the team at Lanzarote Retreats have over 20 years of experience of living, working, entertaining children and enjoying Lanzarote. No question is too strange, no request is impossible, ask and the Lanzarote Retreats team we will do their very best to help. Our Eco Fisherman’s Cottage was featured as one of the top 20 seaside stays in the travel section of The Guardian, “Classy beach cabins on Europe’s coasts” and voted “best seaside villa in Europe” in The Times. This quaint seafront fisherman’s cottage, situated in the authentic fishing village of Arrieta, in the municipality of Haria, is a perfect location to relax and enjoy the slow pace of this charming traditional fishing village.

This quaint seafront fisherman’s cottageis ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway break or honeymoon on the seafront. It is also a great choice for families alike as a z-bed or travel cot can be added if you require additional beds. The cosy ground-floor living room, with its sea views, has a double sofa bed, blue tooth speaker, selection of books and free WIFI. The fitted kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge-freezer, gas oven, hob and toaster, as well as a bespoke dining table and chairs. Outside, the private spacious courtyard is ideal for cooking on the BBQ and al fresco dining under the stars. From here, there is an outdoor shower ideal to rinse off when you return from a swim in the crystal clear waters at the cove beach or harbour, both of which are right by the cottage. Also leading from the courtyard is the convenient separate toilet. From here the courtyard leads to an external wood staircase up to the first-floor master suite. Luxurious, open-plan and with spectacular sea views, this light and airy room features a comfy king-size bed, wooden-surround sunken bath, single sofa bed and en suite WC. Guests staying at the cottage are always welcome to come to our eco-village Finca De Arrieta to use the free facilities there, such as the swimming pools, play park etc. It’s just a 15-minute coastal walk or a few minutes by car. This cottage’s eco credentials give you the chance to live “Off Grid”. There are ten solar panels which make the most of the fantastic Lanzarote weather, storing the power and supplying all electricity for the property. Arrieta’s Eco Fisherman’s Cottage is the perfect example of how simple, stylish and sustainable holidays should be. As this is an “Eco” property, high energy consumption items such as microwave, iron, a hairdryer cannot be used in this cottage. The cottage does have normal electric plug sockets so charging any phones, laptops etc are fine. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

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 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.
