Guest Romain captured the experience perfectly:
“There is no need to worry about the ‘ceiling issue’—there is none.”
Reflecting traditional Canarian architecture, the open, airy design connects you directly with the island’s ideal year-round climate.”
“The hosts welcomed us perfectly and the accommodation was faithful to the advertisement! Ideal for people who like to live outdoors, very beautiful sea view and extremely quiet place to relax and enjoy the surroundings! We highly recommend it after our stay in the secret garden!”
“Atypical and truly very pleasant accommodation. It’s a joy to be in such a peaceful place and to enjoy the local flora and fauna. Lots of birds to observe in the garden and wonderful plants! Thank you for this lovely moment.”
“We LOVED our stay at the Secret Garden! It was so peaceful and pretty. The outdoor shower was amazing. The stars at night were so bright. It was a wonderful. Definitely a rustic stay, so if you want like a hotel vibe, this isn’t the place, but it is a wonderful place to be to explore the island.”

Eco-Cabin in Lanzarote: Sustainable, Comfortable, and Naturally Beautiful
Welcome to our Eco-Cabin! Powered entirely by solar energy, this space seamlessly blends nature with comfort. We even reuse water to nourish our ornamental plants, as part of our commitment to sustainability. The solar-powered water heater means you can enjoy warm showers, but for the best experience, we recommend showering between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM when the sun is strongest.
Accommodation Limitations & Considerations:
Since 2017, we’ve hosted hundreds of satisfied guests, with your well-being as our top priority. Here are a few things to keep in mind before booking:
Compact Space: The cabin is small, with limited storage. You’ll find several hangers, two nightstands, and a couple of shelves for your belongings, plus space under the bed for open suitcases. We suggest packing light and avoiding large suitcases.
Location: The cabin is in a peaceful countryside setting, 1km from the nearest town (where nudism is allowed) and 2km from the nearest bus stop.
Solar Power: We rely solely on solar energy, so devices like electric cars and bikes, hair dryers or straighteners cannot be used. However, phones, laptops, and cameras can be charged without issue.
Hot Water: The hot water system is solar-powered, so on cloudy days, hot water may be limited. The best time for a warm shower is in the afternoon.
Water Pump: There’s a button to start the water pump for pressure in the shower. Please use it only for the shower to help conserve water, as it’s a scarce resource here, and we need to bring water trucks to refill our reservoir.
Kitchen: The small outdoor kitchen includes a one-hob stove, plates, cutlery, a coffee maker, a small fridge, and basic cooking equipment.
Toilet: Please avoid flushing paper, sanitary pads, or other items down the toilet, as this can block the pipes (a common issue across the island).
Bathroom: The toilet and shower our ‘outside’, meaning there is no roof, but there is a stone wall surrounding the entire lodging for privacy.
Water Quality: The island’s water is desalinated, so it’s not drinkable but is fine for showering and washing.
Maintenance: We perform regular maintenance, but if something unexpected happens, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help!
We’ve built this Eco-Cabin with love, offering a simple and peaceful retreat in nature. It’s more like a campsite than a luxury apartment. If you prefer more comfort and space, we invite you to explore “Casa Tabaiba” or “La Cabaña de Lola”, listed on our profile. If you’re looking for a traditional apartment with modern comforts, this may not be the place for you. But if you’re seeking a quiet, nature-filled escape, this is the perfect spot, and we’re delighted to host you!
