How to Plan a Luxury Mother's Day Escape (Even if You're Not a Mom)
Okay, so hear me out—Mother’s Day doesn’t just have to be for moms.
Whether you’re a mom, dog mom, plant mom, auntie, bestie, or just someone who loves any excuse for a bougie escape (hi, it’s me 🙋🏽♀️), this is your sign to treat yourself to a luxury getaway this May. Because honestly? We all deserve a little R&R, some sunshine, and a glass of bubbly with a view.
So let’s talk about how to plan the perfect Mother’s Day escape—even if there are no kids in sight.
✈️ 1. Choose a Destination That Feels Like a Warm Hug
Luxury doesn’t have to mean five-star hotels in Paris (though, yes please). It can be a chic boutique hotel in wine country, an adults-only all-inclusive in Mexico, or a peaceful cabin in the woods with a private hot tub and zero responsibilities.
Ask yourself:
Do I want to be pampered or unplugged?
If it’s pampered, think: spa resorts, private chefs, turndown service with chocolate on the pillow.
If it’s unplugged, think: nature, cozy robes, and a weekend of doing absolutely nothing.
Need help picking the vibe? I’ve got a few dreamy pre-made itineraries ready to go—or I can fully customize one for you. 😉
🥂 2. Make It Adults-Only (You Know You Want To)
Listen, I love a family trip—but sometimes, the real luxury is a little silence and a lot of space. Go somewhere that’s specifically adults-only, so you can sip champagne without hearing “Mom! Mom! Mom!” in the background.
Even if you are a mom, this is your weekend to be just you. Not someone’s chauffeur, chef, or referee.
🌸 3. Book a Spa Treatment (or Five)
Even if you’re the type who can’t sit still, trust me on this one. A deep tissue massage, a body scrub, or even a fancy facial can reset your whole nervous system. And isn’t that what this little escape is about?
Pro tip: book your treatments before you arrive, especially for holiday weekends. I’ve seen way too many people miss out on spa appointments because they waited too long. Let me handle that part for you. 💆🏽♀️
🍴 4. Eat Like a Queen
Part of the joy of a luxury escape is eating meals you didn’t cook, at tables you don’t have to clean.
Whether it’s rooftop sushi, beachside ceviche, or room service pancakes in bed, make sure your trip includes food that makes you say, “OMG, this is so good,” at least once a day.
Bonus: add a wine tasting or cooking class to the mix. It’s indulgent and Instagrammable.
🧳 5. Gift It to Yourself (Or Drop Hints Accordingly)
Here’s your permission slip to make Mother’s Day whatever you want it to be. Solo trip? Go for it. Girls’ getaway? Even better. Romantic weekend where you don’t have to plan every detail? I can help with that.
And if you’re someone who is celebrating a mom in your life? Book her a trip. Seriously. A surprise weekend away is better than flowers, every single time.
