How to Make Her Mother's Day: 8 Life-Changing Escapes for Mom
A villa at Chablé
Mind, Body & Spiritual Wellness retreat at Chablé, Mexico
In addition to keeping a team of skilled practitioners on staff, this chic new wellness resort in the interior of the Yúcatan organizes retreats with visiting masters throughout the year. Just in time for an early Mother’s Day escape is this wellness triple-header, hosted by astrologer, Tarot diviner and Vinyasa yoga teacher Tara Jade Nichols May 4–13.
The spa at Winvian Farm

Winvian Women at the Wheel is female empowerment in one of its most badass forms: commanding a car around a professional racetrack at up to 135 miles an hour. The Litchfield County resort has partnered with nearby Lime Rock Park to offer private racing classes with professional instructors who have coached world champions. The idea is to build self-confidence and courage with a half-day lesson as part of a two-day package with plenty of other pleasures.
Making pasta in Tuscany
A cooking immersion in Tuscany, Italy
From June through September, the American-led company Cook Eat Play Travel runs six-day culinary programs in Montefollonico that include daily lessons from local Tuscan women (many of them grandmothers) in making centuries-old recipes for pasta, pizza, bread and more, plus tours of the region’s wineries and cheese makers, dinners at local restaurants and truffle hunting during the season. Accommodations are in the owners’ private villa or a nearby hotel.
The labyrinth at Cal a Vie
A mom-plus-one spa week at Cal-a-Vie, California
This intimate destination spa near San Diego always makes for a welcome retreat, but for something less solitary, it’s offering two new promotions that are well-timed to Mother’s Day. From May 13 to 20, Mom can bring her partner (or anyone she wants to share a bed with) for three, four or seven nights for half of the regular program rates. Or book ahead for Mom & Teen Week June 17 to 23, which will be hosted by Nickelodeon star Kira Kosarin. New program features include a stargazing observatory, a high-tech body scanner and meditation classes using brain-sensing Muse headbands.
Harvesting grapes at the Vines Resort
Winemaking camp at the Vines Resort, Argentina
Set among 1,500 acres of private vineyards in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, this hotel is offering increasingly hands-on wine experiences. Mom can get her hands dirty and learn about the art of winemaking from top local experts. The daylong winemaking camp includes work in the vineyards and winery (harvesting, berry tasting, punch-downs), followed by local wine tastings with a traditional Argentina asado. A multi-day experience could also include a blending session, an agronomist-led “terroir discovery” and a sommelier-guided pairing session.
A mother-daughter adrenaline-fest in Iceland or Mexico with Adventure Women
After 35 years of running female-only group trips, Adventure Women is branching out with versions of some of its most popular itineraries—swimming, surfing and snorkeling in Baja California, and hiking, wildlife cruising and horseback riding in Iceland—meant for mothers and daughters to do together. The trips will take place in 2019, but you can book them now.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach
A luxury wellness weekend at the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach, Hawaii
This resort's three-night package is designed for rejuvenation, discovery and self-renewal. Each day includes a signature spa treatment that uses traditional Hawaiian healing methods, plus there’s a private yoga class, a chef’s dinner and a kitchen custom-stocked with nourishing ingredients. A guided huaka‘i (cultural excursion) to Mānoa—from which the spa derives fresh ingredients for its treatments—fully immerses guests in nature and teaches them about the cultural practices that must be performed before ingredients can be harvested, out of respect for Mother Nature. They also receive nightly turndown service featuring a local Hawaiian Rainforest Naturals flower essence each night as a keepsake.
">Sure, you could buy flowers or book a fancy brunch. But if you want to ramp up your Mother’s Day game this year, consider these adventures in cooking, adventure, wellness and wine.
