This Monastery just opened in South Africa. We visited it some years ago when it was in the preparation stages. One of the Clergy in the second pic is a relative of ours : )

Do they still exist? Do they ever!
There's the "Holy Mountain" - Mt. Athos - that is FULL of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBJ50fFzoaM
Here's a directory of the ones just in the US for men (the same site has a directory of women's monasteries) http://www.assemblyofbishops.org/directories/male-monasteries
Here's a blog post about a favorite of mine in Cyprus http://stuffedveggies.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-virtual-visit-to-kykkos-monastery.html
And Valaam in Russia (amongst many others) And more than I count in Cyprus.
And you're not even touching the Catholic or Episcopal ones!
Monasticism is alive & well - and *growing!* : )
