Mother’s Day in Macau: Making It a Day To Remember

DFS World Design Space- Macau Lifestyle COD

Mothers should be acknowledged and cherished 365 days a year, but there’s a special time where flowers, a trip to the spa, sumptuous dinners, and sweet surprises are most welcome–Mother’s Day! Gather the rest of the family or just the queen of your heart and take her on a day to remember. Greet her with a cheerful face and a bouquet of flowers before grabbing a delectable lunch or a picnic. Book a spa treatment or a fun fitness class, or take her bungee jumping, even. There’s an array of things to choose from, so read on and plan ahead for the perfect Mother’s Day.

Find the perfect gift

(See featured image above)

Unable to spend the day with your mother, but still want her to know you love her? Try buying something she’ll remember forever, or even her everyday perfume. T-Galleria by DFS, in City of Dreams, The Venetian Macao, and some other locations, have a bit of everything to offer on this day. From make-up to beauty and skincare, perfumes, and much more, choose something cute or functional to give to your mom. You can also opt for something more colorful and filled with tropical scents, such as The Body Shop or Lush products, available in Cotai and the city center.

Venues such as the Macao Cultural Centre or Dom Pedro V Theatre usually host classical music or theater performances, so be sure to check those out. To keep yourself updated on the hottest events in town, make sure to check our Events Calendar.

Lunch or dine out

Well, if you love to eat, this is a no-brainer. The only difficult part is choosing where to go! You can either book a table at one of her favorite restaurants, or go for one of our suggestions such as The Manor–which never disappoints–or a place inspired by French gastronomy, such as beautiful L’Atttiude or decadent Aux Beaux-Arts, in MGM Macau. If you’re looking for a tropical-style spot serving Asian cuisines, Naam, in Arytzen Grand Lapa Macau is also a great choice. There are numerous restaurants we love going to in Macau, so be sure to choose something you know she’ll love!

The gift of a lazy day by the pool

A swimming pool might not sound like a big plan, but what if a day by the pool included drinks, food and some music? This is what several hotels in town are offering, so be sure to check out their latest deals to book a full day by the pool with your favorite person. Does your mother love lounging by the pool with a cocktail in her hand? Even better! Grand Hyatt Macau, Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau, and Mandarin Oriental, Macau are just some of our recommendations for a peaceful day under the sun and lots of chatting.

Surprise her with a picnic

If the sun is shining, why don’t you look for some cool places in the outdoors and start planning a picnic? Eating outside doesn’t necessarily mean just sandwiches and soft drinks but if that’s what your mum likes, have at it. You can take numerous things to a picnic, including beers and bottles of wine, some raw veggies and fruit to go with appetizers such as homemade hummus or tuna spread, and perhaps some freshly baked croissants, and French cheeses too! We’re sure your mom will love this small, yet significant gesture and be happy to be surrounded by people who love her with the beautiful views of the city, perhaps one of Coloane’s beaches, or a park full of greenery.

A basket of Flowers & Pastries

If you’re out of time to prepare a big surprise or it’s just too late to reserve a table at a nice restaurant, think of a nice basket to offer your mother and maybe include flowers and some of the best Portuguese pastries available in town. We’ve got you covered on the best places to buy flowers in Macau, including dried ones, which stay beautiful for way longer. As for pastries, we’d also recommend heading to some of the places selling egg tarts, which are one of Macau’s greatest treats and worth the try.

Cook a homey meal

While some people like spending their free time away from home, others prefer to stay comfy and relaxed in the sofa watching series and movies surrounded by family and pets. The same goes for moms: some love cooking up a storm but definitely not on Mother’s Day! Instead of taking her to dinner, why don’t you join the rest of the family in the kitchen, look through some recipe books and create something wholesome, treating this woman to a carefree night of relaxation and food? Be it breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, bake a cake, cook pasta or create your own recipe, buy a nice bottle of wine and say thanks to the woman who’s been there since ever! We recommend heading to one of Macau’s local markets for fresh goodies to make something yummy for your mummy.
