Our spaces
Monastrell can welcome up to 500 guests across four distinct spaces, each framed by the Mediterranean and with a character of its own.
Warm and welcoming
The Cloister
Home to Monastrell’s Mediterranean haute cuisine, The Cloister combines sea-facing windows, the warmth of María José San Román’s orangery and soaring ceilings in an elegant setting.
Sea views
The Viewpoint
Beside The Cloister, The Viewpoint pairs views across Alicante’s harbour with abundant natural light. It can be opened fully to the Mediterranean or enclosed and climate-controlled for year-round comfort.
Complete privacy
The Royal Chamber
On the first floor, The Royal Chamber feels like a well-kept secret within Monastrell. Small windows filter in natural
light, creating the restaurant’s most intimate and private setting.
Our liveliest terrace
The Sky of Alicante
On the second floor, The Sky of Alicante is a covered terrace with a retractable roof that opens to the Mediterranean. A balcony, sea views and a private bar make it Monastrell’s liveliest event space.
