Lanzarote clears all three. It is the driest of the Canary Islands, about 100 km off the coast of Africa, and the operator&#8217;s weather table gives average temperatures of 18 \u00b0C in January and February, 19 \u00b0C in March and 20 \u00b0C in December, with 16, 18, 12 and 29 mm of rain respectively. For comparison, Rovaniemi in January is regularly around \u221220 \u00b0C.<\/p><p>The island is on Western European Time in winter, which is two hours behind Finland, so there is no real jet lag: children who wake at six local time are awake at eight Finnish time, and the adjustment is gone in a day. Daylight is the other quiet benefit. After weeks of a few hours of grey light, Lanzarote&#8217;s winter days are long and bright, and for many Nordic families that, more than the temperature, is what the trip is for.<\/p><p>Flight times are roughly six hours from Helsinki, but we do not quote airlines, routes or fares because they change by season, so check the current schedules for your own airport and whether you will connect.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Go_Month_by_Month_for_a_Finnish_Winter\"><\/span>When to Go: Month by Month for a Finnish Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lanzarote is a year-round destination, but November to March is the European winter-sun peak and the one that sells out first. This is the operator&#8217;s weather table for the months that matter to us:<\/p><table><tr><th>Month<\/th><th>Average \u00b0C<\/th><th>Rain (mm)<\/th><th>Our take for Finnish families<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>November<\/td><td>22<\/td><td>15<\/td><td>Warmest of the winter and quieter; a good escape from Finnish autumn gloom<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>December<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>29<\/td><td>Wettest month on the island; Christmas and New Year are peak-priced and excluded from our first code<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>January<\/td><td>18<\/td><td>16<\/td><td>Our favourite: deepest Finnish winter, calm prices in the middle of the month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>February<\/td><td>18<\/td><td>18<\/td><td>Winter-holiday season for many Finnish schools; the most expensive month in our price checks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>March<\/td><td>19<\/td><td>12<\/td><td>Lengthening days, slightly warmer, fewer clouds<\/td><\/tr><\/table><p>Finnish school winter holidays fall in different weeks in February and March depending on the region, so check your local calendar and book as early as you can; the popular weeks are the ones that fill up. Because the second week of January was the cheapest period in the operator&#8217;s booking engine in our checks, it is also the one we would aim for if your dates are flexible.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_Our_Finca_de_Arrieta_Shortlist\"><\/span>Where to Stay: Our Finca de Arrieta Shortlist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We would base a first winter trip at Finca de Arrieta in Arrieta, north-east Lanzarote. Lanzarote Retreats describes it as an off-grid village of 21 self-catering homes running on solar power with generator back-up, with a shared solar-heated 13 m \u00d7 2.5 m pool that is open all year, a play park, donkeys and chickens, and a 300-metre track to the calm golden beach of Playa de la Garita. Children aged 17 and under stay free, which is a real saving for a Finnish family of four or five.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/lanzarote-eco-luxury-villa-eco-lux-villa-5.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the Eco Luxury Villa at Finca de Arrieta, from Lanzarote Retreats&#x27; gallery.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>Inside the Eco Luxury Villa at Finca de Arrieta, from Lanzarote Retreats&#x27; gallery. <span>Photo: Lanzarote Retreats<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><table><tr><th>Home<\/th><th>Sleeps<\/th><th>7 nights, 10\u201317 Jan 2027 (2 adults)<\/th><th>Good for<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Eco Tower<\/td><td>2 adults + 1 child<\/td><td>\u20ac887<\/td><td>A couple, converted windmill<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eco Twin Yurt<\/td><td>2 adults + 4 children<\/td><td>\u20ac1,139<\/td><td>Families who want to try a yurt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eco Garden Cottage<\/td><td>4 adults + 2 children<\/td><td>\u20ac1,163<\/td><td>The budget family home<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eco Barn<\/td><td>2 adults + 3 children<\/td><td>\u20ac1,172<\/td><td>Two parents and up to three children<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eco Luxury Villa<\/td><td>4 adults + 2 children<\/td><td>\u20ac1,656 (24\u201331 Jan)<\/td><td>The all-round family choice<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eco Luxury Farmhouse<\/td><td>6 adults + 3 children<\/td><td>\u20ac2,556<\/td><td>Two families, private pool<\/td><\/tr><\/table><p>These are quotes from the operator&#8217;s booking engine on 23 October 2026 and change with dates and demand; the live calendar on each property page is the real price.

There is no heating and no air conditioning in most Lanzarote Retreats homes (Arrecife Sands is the only property with A\/C), because the operator says the temperature stays between about 18 and 28 \u00b0C all year. Evenings in winter can feel cool, especially after a Nordic hot sauna habit has spoiled you, so bring a fleece and warm socks.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/lanzarote-eco-barn-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Eco Barn at Finca de Arrieta, from Lanzarote Retreats&#x27; gallery.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>The Eco Barn at Finca de Arrieta, from Lanzarote Retreats&#x27; gallery. <span>Photo: Lanzarote Retreats<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Finca de Arrieta is off-grid by design. That means no television, no dishwasher, no electric kettle and no iron in the homes, to save energy; a hairdryer is available on request. There is free wifi. The sea is cooler than most people expect, roughly 18\u201320 \u00b0C, so children will swim in the shared pool more than the Atlantic unless they have wetsuits. The north-east can be windy, and some beaches have a real swell, so choose calm Playa de la Garita for small children.<\/p><p>Finally, sun protection matters even in January. Take a high-factor sunscreen and hats; the winter sun on Lanzarote is stronger than a Finnish skin expects.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Around_Without_Stress\"><\/span>Getting Around Without Stress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finca de Arrieta is about 20 km from Arrecife airport. Lanzarote Retreats offers a private return airport transfer for Finca guests with 48 hours&#8217; notice, and the package includes a complimentary 5-seater car, hybrid where possible, for up to seven days (7-seaters cost extra; drivers must be 25 or older with a licence held for two years). Child car seats are free on request. There is also a bus stop on the main road beside the Finca. We would collect the car, do a big supermarket shop in Arrieta or Har\u00eda, and plan the week around one or two day trips: Timanfaya National Park, the C\u00e9sar Manrique sites (Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes, Mirador del R\u00edo) and the Har\u00eda or Teguise markets.<\/p><figure class=\"htf-fig\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/lanzarote-eco-luxury-farmhouse-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Eco Luxury Farmhouse at Finca de Arrieta, from Lanzarote Retreats&#x27; gallery.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption>The Eco Luxury Farmhouse at Finca de Arrieta, from Lanzarote Retreats&#x27; gallery. <span>Photo: Lanzarote Retreats<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>If you travel with a baby, the operator provides a travel cot, high chair, changing mat, potty, toddler step and baby bath free on request.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_a_Winter-Sun_Week_Costs\"><\/span>What a Winter-Sun Week Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Accommodation is the main cost. The Eco Barn was quoted at \u20ac1,172 for 7 nights from 10 January 2027, and the same total applied whether we searched two adults or two adults and two children, because under-18s are free at Finca de Arrieta. The Eco Garden Cottage was \u20ac893 for 7 nights from 15 November 2026 and \u20ac1,163 for 10\u201317 January. February and March were higher: the Barn was \u20ac1,486 for 7\u201314 February and \u20ac1,384 for 7\u201314 March.<\/p><p>Those are accommodation totals only. Flights, car hire beyond the included days, groceries, restaurants and activities are on top. Linen, towels, cleaning, utilities and wifi are included; the operator charges nothing extra for children at the Finca, but Casa Pino, Finca Panorama and Finca Botanica Tao charge for children aged 3\u201317, so read the booking summary carefully.<\/p><p>Remember the payment terms: a 30% non-refundable deposit, the balance 30 days before arrival, and cancellations forfeit the deposit or, inside 30 days, the full amount. Travel insurance is a sensible idea, and Finnish travellers should also carry their European Health Insurance Card.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s7\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Book_With_the_Hungrytravelfamily_Codes\"><\/span>How to Book With the Hungrytravelfamily Codes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Book directly on lanzaroteretreats.com, where we never take your payment.

What we can say after reading the operator&#8217;s pages and weather table is that Lanzarote in January makes sense for a Finnish family in a way few other places do: short flight, no jet lag, light, and a price that, outside Christmas, is moderate for a week in a proper home. The risks are the cool evenings and the lack of heating, and a wind that can surprise you.
