The family resort of southern Lanzarote

In Playa Blanca, at the southern tip of the island, where the sun guarantees more than 300 clear days a year. The MONEA Royal Mónica is the flagship of the portfolio: 215 rooms across five three-storey buildings, arranged around the pools and with direct access to a beach of natural coves.

The main board is All-Inclusive: buffet, local drinks and soft drinks from 10:00 to 23:00, Pool Bar until midnight. In summer European families arrive with their children; in winter, Central European snowbirds settle in from October to March, escaping the cold. Lanzarote never closes — and neither does the hotel.

Eating without watching the clock

The Royal Mónica's All-Inclusive board covers the buffet, local drinks and soft drinks from 10:00 to 23:00 and the Pool Bar until midnight. The à la carte menu lets you step away from the buffet when the family fancies something different. Half Board and Room Only are also available.

01

Buffet Restaurant

Breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking. Themed stations that change with the season. The family meeting point at the start and end of the day.

02

Pool Bar

Open from 10:00 to 00:00. Drinks, snacks and soft drinks at no extra charge with All-Inclusive. A direct view over the pools and the garden.

«Playa Blanca has sun 300 days a year. The families come back in summer. The snowbirds in winter. The hotel never closes.»

What to do at the Royal Mónica

01

Kids Club

A Mini-Club for children aged 4 to 12 in summer (also 13–17 in high season). Supervisors, activities, workshops. The parents breathe; the children come back the next day.

02

Pools and beach

Three outdoor pools and direct access to a natural beach of secluded coves. The Pool Bar open from 10:00 to midnight at no extra charge with All-Inclusive.

03

Timanfaya

The most visited National Park in the Canaries is thirty minutes away. The hotel team arranges transfers. Living lava, craters and the silence of a Martian landscape.

04

Kayaking at Papagayo

Turquoise coves ten minutes from the hotel. Kayaking, snorkelling, a swim in crystal-clear water. The island's best beaches are right next door — and you reach them without a car.

05

Family entertainment

A daily entertainment programme for all ages. Pool sports, evening shows, activities for children and adults. The hotel has a rhythm all its own.

06

Spa

Ninety-minute sessions. Massages, body treatments, a relaxation area. The pause of the day while the children are in the Kids Club.

— Lanzarote in detail

Playa Blanca all year round.

The resort that works in August and in February.

A day at MONEA Royal Mónica.

Playa Blanca, sunshine the year round — the rhythm of the family resort.

01

The long breakfast

08:30 · Buffet

A buffet restaurant with live cooking. Tropical fruit, Canarian bread, eggs your way. The whole family, in no rush at all.

02

The children to their own world

10:00 · Kids Club

The Mini-Club opens at 10:00. The children go in, the parents head off to the pool or the cove beach. The first hour of the day with no responsibilities.

03

Without leaving the sun lounger

13:00 · Pool Bar

The Pool Bar serves drinks and snacks at no extra charge with All-Inclusive. The Lanzarote sun at midday, the pool water, nothing on the horizon to sort out.

04

The evening show

21:00 · Entertainment

An evening entertainment programme. Shows, live music, activities for the whole family. The night at the Royal Mónica begins, rather than ends, at nine.

«The Royal Mónica is the hotel that never lets you down. Families who come in August, couples who stay on in February, groups who celebrate. Playa Blanca has sun when the north of Europe is in darkness. Here the thermometer never drops below 18 degrees.»
