Hotel Riu Monica

The 4-star Hotel Riu Monica has 234 rooms, all with free Wifi, balcony or terrace, air conditioning and heating, and bathroom amenities. In addition, this hotel offers a range of services such as a buffet restaurant and another themed restaurant, where you can enjoy tasty and varied cuisine. During the day you can enjoy light bites at our pool Snackbar, while soaking up the sun on the free sun loungers and parasols surrounding the hotel’s fantastic pool. And if you would like to keep fit during your holiday, you can do so in our gym or health and beauty centre, which offers massages and treatments (at an extra cost).

When you are not enjoying the facilities or sunbathing by the pool, we suggest trying the activities and sports on Playa de Nerja that you can do in the surrounding area, such as hiring bicycles, pedal boats or playing golf at the Baviera course to practise your swing, or you can also discover our top golf destinations. At the hotel you will also find an activity area with shows and live music during the week.

Hotel Riu Monica enjoys a perfect location, in an area of Nerja, Málaga that is not very busy, where you can recharge your batteries and make the most of relaxing.
