5 Getaways to Gift Mom
by Joy PecknoldFlowers and a card are sweet and all, but they don’t really come close to conveying deep gratitude to the good women who raised us. Nothing can really, but a spoil-her holiday comes a bit closer. Herein, five different kinds of getaways to give this Mother’s Day.
5 Getaways to Gift Mom
Whether or not the mom in question has been the Big Apple before, there’s always something new to see or do or buy. On the corner of 57th Street and Sixth Avenue, the Quin is well positioned near the city’s most iconic shopping street (you know, Fifth Avenue), and for when the credit card needs a breather, Central Park. Reserve a table at two-storey onsite restaurant, The Wayfarer, for a celebratory meal.
5 Getaways to Gift Mom
Nothing says like I love mom to the moon and back like an all-she-can-wine weekend touring Napa. Wine is the unofficial beverage of motherhood, isn’t it? The Carneros Inn facilitates those goals nicely with the quaintest, cutest individual cottages; three restaurants serving up scrumptious fare; adult-only infinity pool overlooking vine-lined hills; and a spa offering vinotherapy treatments.
5 Getaways to Gift Mom
Offering Miami’s heat without the party crowds, the Florida Keys hold the key to beach break from reality. Here, private Little Palm Island is the place for moms who’d happily trade a phone and television (there are none) for peace and quiet in the form of spa treatments, beach picnics and pool time. She’ll feel like she’s much farther away than the Sunshine State.

The dry heat, the cool pools, the mid-century modern finds—Palm Springs, like Paris, is always a good idea. La Quinta Resort and Club ups the ante with 41 pools and 53 hot spas; private patios and fireplaces in every suite; and access to five golf courses. If mom is a music lover, planning a getaway in October for the just-announced Desert Trip festival in October featuring The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and The Who would rock her world.

If unfettered nature is more her flavour—rolling hills, expansive skies—Wyoming delivers. At The Lodge and Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, she can hike and ride horses then pop into the spa for TLC before falling into a fur-blanketed bed. The cabin-style accommodations strike the ideal balance between regal and rugged. And it’s all-inclusive, so there won’t be any fighting over who’ll pay for dinner.
