Mother's Day Getaways

Last year, you bought your mom a gift certificate to a local spa. How can you up the ante this time around? Vacation Rentals.com is here to make Mother’s Day a memorable one. Here are some thoughtful Mother’s Day getaway ideas for the mom on the go who needs a moment – or better yet, a whole weekend – to herself. It’s impossible to repay your mom for raising you, but these Mother’s Day getaways will show her how much you wish you could.

The following Mother’s Day getaways are good for mother and daughter excursions, girls weekends (get your mom and her friends together), and romantic retreats (Dad will love it). Don’t underestimate the power of being alone, though. Your mom may just need some time to herself!

Make Mother’s Day Spatastic

Your mom deserves more than just a day at the spa. Why not whisk her away to spa hotspots like Scottsdale, where she can spend the entire weekend in a luxurious Scottsdale vacation rental near a world-class health club? Even if you don’t have the time or money to leave your home state, there’s a bed and breakfast in or around your area that will seem far away from it all. (Even if it’s only five minutes outside town.) Cap it off with a weekend spa package and your mom will feel so rejuvenated, she’ll be ready for the rest of the week and even the year.

Mom in the City

Rent a vacation apartment or condo in the nearest big city and paint the town! Whether you go all out for a Manhattan condo rental or you go sightseeing in San Antonio, sometimes all a mom needs are shops to explore, five-star restaurants to try, shows to see, and lots of people to watch. If you’re the daughter, use this as an opportunity to bond with your mom all over again, or recruit your mom’s friends to join the fun and chip in on a vacation rental.

Destress by the Sea

Mother’s Day falls in May and that means perfect beach weather! Whether you live close to the coast or not, there are many cheap Florida beach houses up for rent and they’re a great place for your mom (and the family) to really unwind.

Hopefully these Mother’s Day getaways have gotten your creative juices flowing. The main takeaway is this: take your mom away… from everything that reminds her of child-rearing, cooking, cleaning, and career building. Make this Mother’s Day the best Mother’s Day ever.
