Hey First name / friend!

 

After years of chasing you around the pool to wrestle on floaties, packing PB&Js for sandy beach days, or toting your tired toddler body through theme parks—it’s probably time for a trip that actually feels like a vacation.

 

Growing up, my mom and I would talk for hours about the places we dreamed of visiting together. We made it to a lot of beautiful spots across the U.S.—and one ridiculous border hop into Mexico—but the big dream trips never materialized. She’s no longer here, but I think of her often when I travel, and I find myself wondering: where would I take her now?

 

So today, I’m celebrating the mother-daughter bond by sharing a few getaways I’d love to take with my mama—trips that reflect her love for all places classy, tastefully designed, with warm hospitality, and a lot of fun. 

 

Whether you're planning something special for your mom, your daughter, or a mother/daughter figure who means the world to you, there's something unforgettable about carving out time for a just-the-two-of-you getaway 💕

 

After all, you don’t need a milestone birthday, graduation, or “last fling before the ring” to take a meaningful trip with your mom or your little girl (or both!). I think the best reason is no reason at all. 

 

From cozy countryside escapes to sun-drenched beaches, here are three kinds of trips for the bonded babes—made to recharge, share some laughs, and simply enjoy each other’s company. And for the gents reading along: maybe this is your cue to surprise the ladies in your life with one of these special getaways.

The vibe? Soft sweaters, scenic strolls, and long chats over tea. This slow-paced route is perfect for mother-daughter duos who love picture-book towns, warm hospitality, and meaningful time together. 

 

📍 London Begin your journey in London with a few days of culture, charm, and indulgence. Catch a West End show, window shop along Marylebone High Street, and make time for a proper afternoon tea. Stay at Broadwick Soho, a flirty, feminine hotel in the heart of the theatre district with lush interiors, glam touches, and a buzzy rooftop perfect for a cocktail before curtain call. 

 

📍The Cotswolds & Oxfordshire Next, slow things down in the countryside—where honey-hued cottages, thatched roofs, and garden cafés feel like a warm hug. Meander through villages like Bourton-on-the-Water and Bibury, explore castle ruins, and spend unhurried hours over tea and scones. Check into Estelle Manor, a country estate with woodsy paths, an expansive Roman-style bathhouse, and a beautiful pool made for lounging. 

 

📍Dorset Round out your UK adventure with a few days on the coast in Dorset. Stay at The Pig on the Beach, perched above Studland Bay with sweeping views of the Jurassic Coast. Breathe in the sea air, stroll sandy beaches, savor garden-to-table meals, and play cards by the fire. It's an easygoing finale—perfect for two (or three) generations to simply be together. 

The vibe? Mandolin music drifting from a terrace, bougainvillea brushing sun-warmed balconies, and light that makes you pause. This getaway is for mothers and daughters who dream of Rome in all its glory, spritzes on the Amalfi Coast (yes, it’s iconic—but some places earn their reputation and my mother would have loved it), and soaking in mineral baths between island lemon groves.

 

📍 Rome
Begin in Rome—because we’re not skipping the classics. Take your mom to the Spanish steps, pop into Valentino, and say yes to gelato twice a day. Stay at Casa Monti, a vibrant, design-forward stay from the Leitmotiv group. With hand-painted walls, sculptural furnishings, and a palette that echoes Rome’s rooftops at sunset, it’s girly romantic, joyful, and full of character—just like the city itself.

 

📍 Positano
Next, head south to Positano for sweeping sea views and serious glamour. Check into Treville Positano, a storied cliffside retreat once owned by Zeffirelli, where lush gardens, secluded terraces, and cinematic vistas create a world unto itself. Linger over aperitivi, glide into town by boat, or never leave the property—every corner is like a dream sequence.

 

📍 Ischia
End on Ischia, the more low-key, wildly healing sister to nearby Capri. At Botania Relais & Spa, it’s all about well-being and wonder—thermal springs, volcanic stone paths, garden scents, and simple food made with love. Days here unfold slowly and sweetly. Swim, steam, read, repeat.

The vibe? Courtyards dappled in color and light, terrace breakfasts with fresh papaya, and rooms that feel like sanctuaries. This itinerary blends Mexico’s heart, soul, and jungle coastline—designed for travelers of all ages who want to feel immersed without sacrificing ease, soul, or beauty.

 

📍 Mexico City
Start in Mexico City, where art, history, and gracious hospitality meet in Polanco—one of the city’s most elegant neighborhoods. Stay at Casa Polanco, a refined, design-forward retreat set in a 1940s mansion across from leafy Lincoln Park. The service is thoughtful, the rooms are serene, and everything—from galleries to boutiques—is a gentle walk away.

 

📍 San Miguel de Allende
Next, head north to San Miguel de Allende for color, craft, architecture, and oh my, the food. Stay at Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel, spread across a cluster of restored historic buildings. Expect leafy courtyards, handwoven textiles, and long, peaceful meals in sunlit cloisters. This is the place to slow down, poke through artisan shops, and enjoy time together in one of Mexico’s most beloved towns.

 

📍 Riviera Nayarit
End at the coast with a few blissful days at Rosewood Mandarina, tucked between jungle and sea. It’s polished, private, and stunningly situated—ideal for ocean swims, hammock time, and spa afternoons. Whether you're three generations or just the two of you, this is a place where everything is taken care of, so all that’s left is to enjoy.

 

No matter your style—or your season—these mother-daughter getaways are the kind of memories you’ll talk about for years. And you don’t need a reason to book one... just the time, and each other 💕
