First of all, you need to figure out what kind of Mother's Day getaway fits moms personality best. Some moms would cherish a private and quiet escape for a day, but other moms will have a hard time imagining the day without the kids around.
Most moms probably can't decide which version of Mother's Day is better. Here are some fun Mother's Day travel ideas that include flexibility to have a mix of family time and mom-only time.
Mother's Day Getaway Idea #1 - Spa Time for Everyone
The spa treatment as Mother's Day getaway is a total cliche. Why do you think that is? It works! Moms need a break, and a spa getaway is a great way to get one.
For a twist on this classic idea, book a family spa getaway. Mom gets the pampering, and so do other family members. Let mom decide if she wants private treatments, or would enjoy a fun mother-and-child or husband-and-wife treatment. There are increasingly spa hotels that feature services for children.
Mother's Day Getaway Idea #2 - Family Arts & Crafts Vacation
Moms usually love crafts, kids usually love crafts. Find a destination with lots of fun arts and crafts classes, and head there for the weekend. Let mom take a class or two solo, and a class or two with the kids.
As a bonus, the kids' creations will make wonderful and cherished Mother's Day gifts that have major sentimental value.
Mother's Day Getaway Idea #3 - Give Her Two Mother's Days
What would be a better gift than two special days instead of one? Well, there are other countries that celebrate Mother's Day on a different day. For instance, France's Mother's Day is typically two or three weeks later.
Imagine mom's surprise to open a gift on Mother's Day, and it's a trip to Paris or the French Riviera for Fete des Meres a couple weeks later?
Mother's Day Getaway Idea #4 - Mother's Day Adventure
If mom is the outdoorsy and adventurous type, create a fun getaway she will enjoy. Create a unique scavenger hunt that will take her and family to a favorite destination. Plan a fun geocaching adventure. Plan a camping getaway (and tuck a map of hiking trails so she can wander off for some alone mom time).
