LAKE TAHOE, CA and NV – Mother’s Day, May 12th, is fast approaching. What better place to honor the special mother in your life than the breathtaking Lake Tahoe region? Lake Tahoe has something to please every mom, from rejuvenating spa she retreats to mouthwatering brunch feasts and outdoor she adventures in the great outdoors.
Treat your mom to pampering at a world-class spa
A great way to say “thank you” is with a luxurious spa day experience at Incline Village on May 11th. Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino offers the ultimate wellness experience with the Elemental Immersion Package.
It begins with a breathing exercise session and a cold plunge into the lake to set your intentions, guided by expert practitioner Brooke Haley. Then Mom nourishes her body with a healthy meal by the lake in her grill, her roaned eagle, and then surrounded by the fantastic flutes, gongs, and Tibetan singing in her bowl of her healing sounds. Participate in meditation. The experience concludes with a symbolic “letting go of the fire” ceremony. For $495, it was extravagant, but memorable.
Olympic Valley’s Spa at Everline is another luxurious option with a signature Rose Radiance Massage. Treatments include a therapeutic massage, a rose-infused foot scrub, and a glass of sparkling rosé to enjoy in a secluded relaxation area.
Then, head to Everline Resort’s Six Peaks Grill for a sumptuous Mother’s Day dinner. The three-course prix fixe menu starts with lobster bisque or a small gem salad with pistachio green goddess vinaigrette, followed by Durham Ranch filet mignon and butter-braised red crab with grilled broccolini, or wild mushroom gnocchi and butternut. Followed by squash puree. Dessert is homemade chocolate lava cake. It’s $75 per person.
For moms looking to get an early start on self-care, Purity Aesthetics’ Mommy Day and Baby Play will offer massages, facials and other spa services combined with babysitting on May 3 and 4.
