Yaiza, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain

Located in the heart of Yaiza, one of Lanzarote's most admired white villages, Retiro de Timanfaya combines authentic island character with a tried-and-tested hospitality model. The property's visual appeal is pure Lanzarote: pristine white volumes, classic green shutters, warm wooden doors, a shaded pergola, and volcanic stone details that stand out against the ochre and black tones of the surrounding lava landscape.

Currently run as a licensed boutique bed & breakfast, the property comprises five individually styled junior suites , each with a spacious ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. This uniform room specification simplifies operations, guest expectations, and consistency of reviews. A bright communal dining and living area hosts the morning buffet before extending onto a terrace framing the private pool , its sun terrace, and a relaxing chill-out corner oriented toward sweeping views of the volcano.

Outside, a landscaped volcanic garden and several sunny and shaded terraces create natural micro-zones: quiet spots for morning coffee, afternoon reading space, and sunset viewing points-key elements for guest satisfaction and repeat bookings.

The location underpins the performance. From the doorstep, guests are a short drive from Timanfaya National Park , Los Hervideros sea cliffs, Laguna Verde (El Golfo) , and the La Geria wine route-a combination of itineraries that fuels year-round occupancy beyond the classic beach season.

For an incoming investor or lifestyle buyer, the approach is "plug and play" from day one, with clear value-add levers: a consistent interior renovation, an enhanced digital guest experience (direct booking optimization, self-check-in), and curated complementary experiences (wine tastings, guided hikes, wellness sessions) to increase ADR and length of stay. Alternatively, the design seamlessly transitions into a private residence with guest or multigenerational suites while maintaining long-term flexibility.

Timanfaya Retreat offers a rare combination of authenticity, licensing, predictable demand, and upside potential in a rural setting with limited supply. Book a confidential conversation to review the figures and arrange a private viewing.
