This peaceful spa is set in the heart of Shoreditch within the renowned Courthouse Hotel, which also features a lush rooftop if she fancies post-spa drinks.
A girly weekend in Marrakech
Everyone seems to be in Marrakech this spring, and we don’t blame them – with incredible food, decor, and markets, it’s ideal for a long weekend of exploring. It will all be very Sex and the City 2, so naturally mum will love it. An ideal 48-hour goes like this: exploring the markets renowned for gorgeous rugs and leathers, a lively street food lunch at Mazel, and a sunset dinner on a rooftop (we recommend Dardar). If she needs a luxurious room (and/or pool) to unwind after a long day of shopping and yapping, La Naoura Hôtel will hit the spot.
And on day two, when she’s all shopped out, a trip to the serene Agafay desert is in order. For an extremely boujee stay at Inara Camp, a secluded retreat complete with luxury tents and suites, a pool, and a restaurant. And most importantly a camel ride, because that snap of her on a camel’s back is will be iconic and give her lots of bragging rights to the girlies when she gets home. The Best Child Ever award will absolutely go to you for a magical trip like this.
Brunch at Boxcar Bread & Wine
It’s only right she starts her Mother’s Day celebration with a pastry or three. Boxcar Bread and Wine is renowned for its pastries – think rhubarb, mascarpone, and pistachio danish. Or brunch, like smoked salmon, soft-boiled eggs, lemon ricotta, and beets, if you fancy something bigger to natter over. The new neighbourhood spot recently opened in picturesque Connaught Village, just a short walk from Marble Arch, perfect for any important post-brunch shopping plans.
A long Italian lunch at Agrodolce
Handmade pasta and Aperol Spritz? A big tick for mum and you. Newly opened Agrodolce in Fitzrovia offers authentic food straight from Rome. A good carbonara is always the way to mum’s heart, but the bruschetta with stracciatella and anchovy, and the bucatini all’amatrician are also standouts on the menu here. And don’t even get us started on the tiramisu. You can book here.
A getaway with Unplugged
She’ll never admit it, but even mum needs a break from her phone. With Unplugged, you can get her the gift of ultimate calm, with the choice of stays in luxury remote cabins across the UK. You can reconnect in nature together, and the rest of the family can fend for themselves whilst you can both enjoy the UK’s original digital detox escape. Lock your phone away in one of these eco-friendly cabins – all located 1-2 hours from major cities. Buy a gift voucher or book here.
Enjoy!
