This Mother's Day, move beyond the usual brunches and bouquets. Celebrate the multifaceted spirit of motherhood with a curated list of retreats that speak to every kind of mom, the seeker, the wanderer, the wellness devotee, the culture lover. From tranquil forests to heritage homes and coastal hideaways, these destinations are far from formulaic. Each offers a deeply personal, transformative experience that honors who she is — not just what she does.
Aamaghati Wildlife Resort, Ranthambore
Located near Ranthambore National Park, Aamaghati offers a front-row seat to one of India's most celebrated tiger reserves. This resort stands out for its seamless integration with its rugged surroundings, comfortable cottages that don't distract from the real attraction: nature. Guided safaris in open jeeps and dusk bonfires lend it a sense of immersive wilderness. Unlike more commercial options nearby, Aamaghati leans into quietude and authenticity, making it ideal for mothers who crave an unfiltered brush with the wild without sacrificing creature comforts.
Statue of Unity Tent City 1, Gujarat
Just a stone's throw from the towering Statue of Unity, Tent City 1 provides an unexpected juxtaposition of panoramic natural beauty and monumental history. The luxury accommodation surprisingly well-appointed with air conditioning and en suite bathrooms, sit on the banks of the Narmada River, making it more than a place to sleep, it's a cultural encounter. For mothers drawn to stories of resilience and nation-building, this stay provides curated experiences like guided tours, tribal art showcases, and evening light shows all without stepping too far from nature.
Mansão Curtorim, Goa
Tucked away in the sleepy village of Curtorim, this 18th-century Indo-Portuguese mansion has been lovingly restored to reflect its layered past. Unlike Goa's beach-centric offerings, Mansão Curtorim is a deep dive into Goan heritage through terrazzo floors, mango trees, and the hum of daily village life. With just a few rooms and no televisions in sight, the atmosphere nudges guests toward introspection and slowness. It's a retreat that suits mothers with an eye for architecture, history, and the kind of peace that comes without a schedule.
Vaidyaratnam Vrindavan Ayurveda Chikitsalayam, Himachal Pradesh
In an era of commodified wellness, Vaidyaratnam Vrindavan stands apart for its classical approach to Ayurveda. Nestled in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, the center is operated under the guidance of one of Kerala's most respected Ayurvedic families. Treatments here are custom-prescribed, ranging from Panchakarma detoxes to therapies for anxiety and postnatal care—and carried out with disciplined care. It's not a spa masquerading as wellness; it's the real thing. Ideal for mothers who value tradition, introspection, and the slow unraveling of physical and emotional tension.
Dwarika's Hotel, Kathmandu
Dwarika's isn't just a hotel, it's a preservation project. Every corridor and courtyard is crafted from salvaged and restored wooden carvings that date back centuries, a living museum paying homage to Kathmandu's disappearing Newar architecture. The experience feels part-monastic, part-museum, yet wholly luxurious. Beyond its aesthetics, Dwarika's offers immersive experiences like pottery workshops, traditional Nepali feasts, and yoga in a tranquil courtyard. For mothers intrigued by craft, ritual, and design, this is an ode to time-honored elegance and the power of slow travel.

Set along the untouched coastline of Pottuvil, Jetwing Surf operates as an eco-resort in the truest sense. Its open-air cabanas, shaped like sails, are built entirely from sustainable materials and designed to capture sea breezes, negating the need for air conditioning. The surf is excellent, but even non-surfers will find peace in the surrounding mangroves and elephant crossings. It's rustic, but not rough; barefoot luxury that avoids pretence. For mothers who equate solitude with luxury and find joy in crashing waves and the absence of walls, Jetwing offers quietude with a conscience.
