Mother’s Day Los Angeles, let’s make it unforgettable! Here are some ideas, one’s that as a mom myself I’d find really fun!
1. Mother’s Day Los Angeles – Spa Day
If you really want to treat your mom to a day of relaxation, LA’s got some luxurious spas. She’ll be so relaxed and in complete bliss.
- The Spa at Four Seasons Los Angeles – If you’re ready to go all-out, book her a day here. The treatments are top-notch, and the vibe is super tranquil. She’ll feel like a queen with every massage, facial, and body treatment. It’s pure luxury. My husband booked me a night here not too long ago. It was a lovely day and evening of reset and on the second day my husband and children joined me for a fun pool afternoon.
- Burke Williams Spa – A little more affordable than the Four Seasons, but still fancy, Burke Williams has some wonderful services like their signature massages and facials. Spending a spa day here is truly wonderful. I love having a massage or a facial and a long relax in the hot tub with my book.
- The Ritz-Carlton Spa – For that next-level experience, you can’t beat The Ritz. Every treatment is designed to make her feel like she’s at the ultimate zen retreat. Plus, the atmosphere is gorgeous.
2. Fun Things to Do Out and About in LA
If your mom’s the kind of person who’d rather experience something new and fun, LA has so many activities that are way more memorable than just a gift.
- Private Tour at The Getty – This place is gorgeous. You get amazing art, beautiful views, and tons of history. A private tour will make her feel like she’s living the high life while learning something new.

It’s a pretty fun vibe, especially with all the cute shops and outdoor atmosphere. I’ve loved this place ever since I moved to LA from the UK 17 years ago! It never loses it’s charm. This is the place I always take my family when they visit LA, and my mom and I always love to have a nice meal here and a stroll around the fountain.
