WHY YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE MOTHER’S DAY IN BORACAY

They say that a mother’s love is peace; that it is not acquired nor is it deserved. That’s why for this year’s Mother’s Day celebration, all moms deserve to be treated and pampered.

But that doesn’t mean that watching movies or having a family meal at home isn’t a special way to bond on this special day. However, if you are looking for something new to experience with your mom, why not spend Mother's Day in the beautiful island paradise of Boracay?

If you are interested in the thought of sand, sun, and a whole lot of fun for Mother’s Day, then read these reasons why you should have your Mother’s Day celebration in Boracay!

1. Get pampered in world-class hotels

One such hotel is Alta Vista de Boracay, whose world-class amenities will definitely be the highlight of your pampering journey with your mom. Alta Vista de Boracay’s facilities include an infinity pool you can dip in. The pool is surrounded by lush greenery to really deliver that tropical island vibe for you and your mother. The best part is you can enjoy the water without even going to the beach!

If you prefer to stay dry, you and your mom can have a karaoke session at the hotel’s Karaoke Room. Singing the classics from dusk till dawn is definitely one of the most fun things you can do with your mom.

With the sun’s golden rays warmly touching your skin, sand between your toes, a couple of refreshments in hand, you’ll definitely have a solid time with your mom.

Nothing beats just lounging by the sandy shores seated under a big beach umbrella and soaking all the island’s sun. You can use this time to catch up with your mom, talk about anything and everything under the sun and just enjoy each other’s company. Boracay’s beaches are definitely lounge-friendly as there are fewer crowds. This means enjoying the world-famous white sands of Boracay as you celebrate Mother’s Day.

3. Go on a shopping spree

Let’s face it: your mom’s secretly hoping for some splurging. Boracay is definitely a hotspot for some serious shopping sprees!

The island is dotted with malls you can visit for your shopping spree because inside them are a wide variety of outlets. However, you need to expect that most of the items you will be buying are for the summer season such as swimwear and sundresses. But with summer just around the corner, shopping for summer outfits is a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

4. Splash around or dive deep in the water

What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than swimming in the turquoise waters of this tropical paradise with your mom? With the recent reopening of Boracay, however, new guidelines were put in place prohibiting most water activities such as parasailing. But that can’t stop anyone from doing fun things with their mom on Boracay! Have a photo shoot with your mom in the many IG-worthy spots in Boracay.

You can also ask the locals and even strangers to join in on the fun so that you and your mom bond while making new friends. You can also try renting a Segway so that you and your mom can cruise around the island in a fun and memorable fashion.

7. Watch the majestic sunset

Sunsets are warm, majestic, and truly a sight to behold. Whether it’s by the beach, from your room at Alta Vista de Boracay or from a restaurant, watching the sunset with your mother is a special way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

You can take this time to talk with your mom and further strengthen your relationship. Reminisce on the good times and the bad that you’ve had together. You can even tell her the words you wouldn’t normally say to her on a regular day. If you run out of things to say to each other, then just listen to the sounds of the ocean and enjoy each other’s company. Whichever way you want to view the sunset, sharing it with your mom will undoubtedly make this year’s Mother’s Day special.

8. Go island hopping
