Riu Monica Hotel, Nerja
Sometimes we all need a little breather from the kids, and what better way than to visit the adults-only Riu Monica Hotel.

You’ve got tons of choice for meals, with a massive breakfast buffet serving up classic British fry ups and a dinnertime international menu of Spanish and Western favourites, with eye-catching show cooking stations. During the day you can also grab a bite to eat in the poolside snack bar.
This hotel has a lot more going for it than just the beach, the pool and the buffet. It’s also in an ideal location for checking out the centre of Nerja and is surrounded by a handful of restaurants, tapas bars and pubs.
