voco Monaco is a playful, Riviera-inspired resort on Europe Island, part of The Heart of Europe on The World Islands. Getting there is half the fun: you hop on a boat from the mainland, and the whole day feels like a mini holiday.
Days revolve around the infinity pool, with its swim-up bar and rows of loungers, and a long private beach with calm, shallow water. Towels and umbrellas are provided. The Island Day Pass is AED 250 for ladies and AED 300 for gents, with the boat transfer included.
This is a party island at heart. A poolside DJ plays every day, the Budapest Pool Party takes over on Fridays from 4pm, and evenings move on to live music at La Brasserie, the Champagne Bar and La Discotheque. Seafood lovers can head to La Rive, the beach restaurant, from 4pm.
It is strictly adults only (18+), so expect couples and groups of friends. Guests rave about the lively atmosphere, the music, the sunsets and the friendly staff, and the cooling Raining Street is a fun extra. The cooler months are ideal for lazy beach days.
