This guide is built from the live property pages and booking engine of Lanzarote Retreats — sleeping capacities, inclusions, distances and prices come from the operator, never invented. We have not stayed in these homes ourselves; we research them and send readers.

What the Eco Yurt Royale Actually Is

Most people picture a yurt as a single round room. The Eco Yurt Royale5% off · code inside is something else: according to Lanzarote Retreats it is the largest yurt on the Finca, a 10-metre-diameter authentic Mongolian yurt of 83 square metres, furnished with fabrics and hand-picked antique Mongolian and Balinese hardwood furniture. Inside, heavy curtains divide it into three bedrooms, and a traditional two-skin cover keeps it draught-free at a steady ambient temperature. Skylights in the floor and a central skylight give ventilation and, as the operator puts it, romantic star-gazing.

It sits on its own walled plot of roughly 300 m² at Finca de Arrieta, the family-run eco village in Arrieta, a fishing village of around 400 people in the Haría municipality. The pathway beside the yurt leads 300 metres down to Playa de la Garita, a golden-sand beach with calm water, and the airport at Arrecife is about 20 km away. The operator says the yurt is often booked by couples who want a lot of private space, and also by production crews who need seclusion and room for large wardrobes. For us the interesting audience is a third one: families and friends who want a big shared base that feels like a holiday rather than a hotel.

Everything on this page comes from the Lanzarote Retreats property page and booking engine, as we read them in October 2026. Details can change, so treat the live page as the final word.

Who Sleeps Where: Three Curtained Bedrooms

The operator’s description is specific: two of the three internal bedrooms have super-king beds, and the third has two single beds. That makes a comfortable base for two couples plus two children or friends, or for a couple who simply want a lot of space. The listing says the yurt sleeps a maximum of 6 adults plus 3 children or infants. How the extra beds are arranged for a party that size is not spelled out on the page, so if you are planning for the top of that range, write to Lanzarote Retreats before you pay the deposit and ask them to confirm exactly who sleeps where.

One bathroom is the thing to plan around. The yurt has a shower room with a walk-in shower, WC, marble floor and sink, plus the outdoor bath. For two or three adults that is easy; for six adults it is a morning-queue conversation, and it is a good reason to think about the Eco Luxury Yurt Suite5% off · code inside or a second home next door for bigger parties.

For babies and toddlers, Lanzarote Retreats lends a travel cot, high chair, changing mat, potty, toddler step and baby bath free on request, and child car seats in every size are free for the operator’s cars. The yurt’s walled and gated garden is a real plus when a toddler is on the move, though with a shared pool on the Finca we would still keep a close eye on small children.

The Outdoor Kitchen, the Bath and the Garden

The feature that makes the Royale different from the other yurts is that most of daily life happens outdoors. According to Lanzarote Retreats, it has a large covered outdoor kitchen and lounge with a granite-topped breakfast bar and comfortable sofas, shaded from the sun, with mountain views. A bamboo dining hut with a BBQ looks towards the sea, and a raised gazebo can serve for al-fresco dinners, meditation or children’s games.

The corner bath sits outside under the covered terrace, which is the part we would be most tempted by in January. Evenings in Lanzarote are cooler than the daytime figures suggest, and the operator’s own packing advice for October to March is a fleece and a light waterproof, so a hot bath outdoors with the stars overhead is a very winter thing to want. We would still treat it as a treat rather than a daily routine: this is an off-grid village, and hot water comes from a gas water heater in each home.

• Gated, stone-walled terrace and gravel garden of about 300 m², with a shaded daybed and play space
• Private covered outdoor kitchen, bamboo dining hut and BBQ
• Sun loungers with mountain views, and sea views from the dining hut
• Free wifi, and a shared pool and table tennis on the Finca
• Self-catering with a WhatsApp concierge during your stay

Off-Grid Living in a Yurt: What You Give Up

Finca de Arrieta runs on solar power with a generator back-up, and the operator is open about the trade-offs. You can use ordinary electrical appliances, but the homes are not fitted with high-energy items such as dishwashers, TVs, electric kettles, electric water heaters, high-watt bulbs or irons. Hairdryers are not provided as standard, though one can be supplied on request. If you need a big screen for the children in the evening, this is not the right home; if the point of your holiday is evenings outside, it might be exactly right.

There is no air conditioning or heating at the Finca. That sounds alarming until you read the operator’s climate table: January averages 18 °C and February 18 °C, with 16 and 18 mm of rain respectively, and the yurts are double-lined so they stay at a comfortable constant temperature. Fans are available on request if a warm spell arrives. For a family from Rovaniemi, where January means minus 20, we find that table very persuasive.

Linen, towels, cleaning, utilities and wifi are included, and a welcome pack of cava, water, milk, wine, coffee and tea is waiting on arrival, along with one beach towel per person. There is a honesty shop open 24/7 for the things you forget, and the on-site housekeeping and guest-relations team can help.

What It Costs: Real Booking-Engine Quotes

Prices are a dated snapshot, not a rate card. We asked the Lanzarote Retreats booking engine for 7-night quotes for 2 adults on 23 October 2026, and these are the totals it returned for the Eco Yurt Royale:

Two things stand out. First, early December was the cheapest week we tested by a distance, which is typical of seasonal pricing. Second, the 10–17 January quote stayed at €1,330 when we added 2 children, and again with 4 adults and 2 children, because children 17 and under stay free at Finca de Arrieta according to the operator. For a party of six that works out at a little over €31 per person per night in that sample, before food, flights and the car. Your price will depend on your dates and party, so check the live calendar on the operator’s page.

There is a 30% non-refundable deposit at booking and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. Cancelling after the deposit forfeits it, and inside 30 days the operator keeps 100%, so we would book travel insurance. Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out by 10:00.

Eco Yurt Royale vs the Other Big Yurts

There are several large yurt set-ups at Finca de Arrieta, and the right one depends on how many people you are and how much you want to spend. Here is how the main ones compare on the operator’s capacity figures and the cheapest 7-night quote for 2 adults in our samples (23 October 2026):

The Royale is the one for the largest adult party, and the one with a private walled plot of roughly 300 m². The Beach Yurt and Twin Yurt are better matched to families with several younger children, as the operator describes them as two adjacent yurts, while the Luxury Yurt Suite has an outdoor bath gazebo and sleeps four adults at a lower price. If your party is six adults, the Royale is the only one in this table that fits without compromise.

The Pool, the Beach and the Village

The shared pool at Finca de Arrieta is solar-heated, 13 m by 2.5 m, and open all year. In winter that matters, because the Atlantic is cool rather than warm, roughly 18–20 °C at that time of year. The Finca also has a play park, giant chess, ping-pong, donkeys and chickens with fresh eggs, and a Monday paella evening subject to availability.

Playa de la Garita is 300 metres down the track, 810 metres of golden sand with calm water, a beach bar, showers and a play park. The village itself has seafront fish restaurants, a pizzeria with takeaway and a supermarket. A bus stops on the main road by the Finca, and Lanzarote Retreats can arrange a private airport transfer with 48 hours’ notice; the package includes a complimentary 5-seater car for up to 7 days, with 7-seaters at extra cost. Drivers must be 25 or over with a licence held for two years or more.

North-facing Atlantic beaches can have swell, so keep an eye on the flags, and wear sun protection even in winter.

FAQ

Our Honest Final Word

We have not stayed in the Eco Yurt Royale, and we will not pretend otherwise. What the operator’s pages and booking engine tell us is that it is a rare thing: a yurt with real private rooms, a big outdoor kitchen and a bath under the stars, close enough to a calm beach to walk to it, at winter prices that start well below the big villas in our samples. The trade-offs are just as clear: one bathroom, no TV, no air conditioning or heating, and an off-grid rhythm that you have to want.

If that sounds like your idea of a winter holiday, look at the Eco Yurt Royale5% off · code inside first, with the Eco Luxury Yurt Suite5% off · code inside and Eco Beach Yurt5% off · code inside as alternatives. Use code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 for stays until 18 December 2026 (Christmas and New Year excluded) or HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY275 for stays from January 2027 — 5% off either way.
