by Kimberly Inlander

May 3, 2025

Some of my favorite travel memories involve trips with my mom, from weekend visits to Chicago (one of our shared favorite cities) to a week-long Caribbean cruise and more. I can’t wait until my 20-month-old daughter is ready for girls’ trips with us!

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, here are a few hotel and destination recommendations for the perfect multigenerational getaway:

Wailea Beach Resort – Wailea, Maui, Hawai‘i
Nestled between two of Maui’s beaches, Wailea Beach Resort spans 22 acres and boasts four pools, offering the perfect spot for a mother-daughter getaway. Mother’s Day specials include

  • 10-minute mini massage followed by 10-minute sound bath experience
  • Gourmet chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate truffles
  • Mimosa bar

Bardessono Hotel & Spa – Napa Valley, California
Wellness-oriented Bardessono Hotel & Spa is located in Yountville, in the heart of the Napa Valley. This mother-daughter getaway will be full of pampering, relaxation and wine. The first and only Spa Suite concept hotel in the region, each guestroom transforms into a personal spa.

The Chedi Andermatt — Andermatt, Switzerland
The Chedi Andermatt, in the Swiss Alps, blends relaxation, adventure and indulgence with a world-class spa and Michelin-starred meals at restaurants such as The Japanese House or GÜTSCH. Nearby, find hiking trails, embark on an e-bike tour through lush valleys and more.

South Bank sits along 31 acres of shoreline in Providenciales, the perfect mother/daughter getaway to celebrate Mother’s Day. Rent a private villa, with most including butler services and boat concierge access, and enjoy a manmade swimming lagoon, a white-sand beachfront, multiple dining experiences, tennis and pickleball courts, and a spa and fitness center.

W South Beach – Miami, Florida
On the sands of Miami Beach, W South Beach features spacious suites; AWAY Spa; and curated experiences like cocktail workshops, live music and rooftop pickleball games. Moms and daughters find everything they need for a chic getaway.
