Experiences

We believe the ‘experience’ is as important as the accommodation, maybe even more important. But to be this way, it must also be authentic, genuine, and heart felt. That’s what really makes a stay truly one to remember.

And our philosophy is simple - do as little or as much as you like. Below are some experiences we’ve created to help make your stay truly memorable.

Monapilla Escape is also the perfect setting for celebrating life’s milestones. From anniversaries and engagements to intimate gatherings and achievements, if you’ve got a celebration, we’ve got the setting. Please get in touch to discuss your plans and ideas, and we’ll do everything we can to make it that extra bit special.
