Forget what you think you know about Lanzarote. This whitewashed villa is a fabulous departure from the island's busy resorts, emerging from this volcanic rock's coastal plains like an otherworldly structure. There are spacious bedrooms, two solar-heated pools, beautifully equipped kitchens (indoor and out), free-standing stone bathtubs, stunning contemporary artworks and mesmerising views – from the burnt amber and charcoal mountainous backdrop, right out to the crystalline waters of the Atlantic.
Spread out here with a group of friends or extended family: there's plenty of space and heaps to do. You also get table tennis, a hot tub and 3 quirky yurts, sunny terraces with day beds, outdoor dining spot, a poolside pavilion for yoga or quiet times, and masses of lebensraum to give everyone their space. Set on the edge of a quiet village, 1-2km above the coast, you can nip down from Tabayesco to the golden sands of La Garita - arguably Lanzarote's loveliest beach. And it's only a short drive to the amazing sea cliffs and surf beaches of Famara or the jump-off point for La Graciosa island; a little further to the eerie Timanfaya volcanoes,the pretty towns of Yaiza and Teguise, and to the bigger resorts for watersports and beach buzz. Adventure awaits!

Our top tips
From nearby Orzola, take a half-hour ferry ride across the periwinkle-blue sea to La Graciosa, a car-free island with some incredible fish restaurants. Don’t miss a visit to the fascinating end-of-the-world viewpoint El Mirador del Río, a short drive away. It's also well worth going wine-tasting in La Geria region.

Rooms
This is a stunningly chic and slightly bohemian estate, mixing contemporary interiors with eye-catching rustic touches, and the added quirk of Mongolian yurts in the grounds (with their own little pool). As you arrive, you're greeted by a seated Buddha statue in a niche, and a Thai-style thatched sala; step inside and there's a driftwood tree balancing bulbous glass displays, amid spotless whitewashed interiors. There's nothing else quite like it on the island.
The ground floor has a raised lounge and two kingsize bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. Steeps sweep up to the next level, with three more bedrooms (two twins and one double), sharing two bathrooms, plus a sunset-facing terrace with daybed. On the top floor is perhaps the most desirable of the six bedrooms, with kingsize bed, free-standing stone bath plus walk-in shower, and fabulous views past swaying palms to the Atlantic.
If you need more space, there's a separate, simpler Garden Room below the main pool, with a double bed and shower room. And that's not all. A trio of rugged double-skinned Mongolian yurts sits on the lower terrace, each with its own walk-in shower room (stone washbasin, separate WC), Indonesian furniture and skylight for ventilation and star-gazing. One of these has a kingsize double and a single bed; the other two have twin beds. They share a pair of outdoor kitchenettes and a separate freeform pool - making it a lovely option for older children within your party.
Please note there is also a small staff apartment which is occasionally occupied (discreetly) by the resident manager. If coming with younger kids, be aware of the multiple levels, sharp rocks and the ungated main pool.
Features include:
- Hairdryer
- In-room treatments available
- TV
- WiFi
Eating
The house comes with a huge sleek kitchen – which looks minimalist but conceals all the appliances and gadgets you could need; and an equally airy indoor dining area alongside, with a chunky carved-wood table and long bench seating for 14. But more atmospheric is to dine outside in the thatched pavilion, looking onto the pebble courtyard (including hot tub and table tennis), and out to sea.
Arrive to a welcome basket including tea bags, UHT milk, coffee and a bottle of drinking water (avoid the tap water here, it's not drinkable). There are also options to choose before you arrive – perhaps you'd like the shopping done or a farmers' grocery box waiting for you.
There are small supermarkets nearby if you decide to cook for yourself, or the wider Punta Mujeres-Arrieta area has some good restaurants: tapas, seafood and great views aplenty. If you're staying closer to home, then there are some pleasant bars dotted along La Garita beach. An in-villa information pack has recommendations, both local and across the island.
