La Casita de Femés

A volcanic retreat in Lanzarote

La Casita de Femés feels less like a rental and more like a quiet dialogue with Lanzarote itself. Set between volcanic mountains and wide open skies, this adults-only retreat honors traditional Canarian architecture while offering refined privacy and comfort. It is a place where sunsets feel intimate, time slows down, and the island’s elemental beauty becomes part of your daily rhythm.

Overview

In the heart of Lanzarote, surrounded by volcanic slopes and protected natural land, La Casita de Femés was conceived as a harmonious extension of its environment. Built using ecological materials sourced from the island, the property respects vernacular architectural principles: whitewashed walls, clean lines, and a restrained aesthetic that allows the landscape to remain the protagonist.

The house is divided into two independent residences. Casa Diama offers three bedrooms and generous communal spaces, ideal for small groups seeking privacy with shared moments. Casa Jable, with one bedroom, is perfectly suited for couples who want stillness and uninterrupted views. Both units offer kitchens, living areas, terraces, and carefully curated interiors that balance simplicity with thoughtful detail.

The design inspiration flows directly from Lanzarote’s artistic and architectural heritage, particularly the philosophy of César Manrique: a deep respect for the land and a belief that architecture should never dominate nature. Light, shadow, volcanic stone, and white surfaces create a sensory experience that feels grounded and authentic rather than ornamental.

What distinguishes La Casita de Femés is its quiet exclusivity. It does not rely on spectacle or excess. Instead, it offers silence, space, and perspective. Here, guests experience Lanzarote not as observers, but as participants in its landscape, culture, and rhythm.
