We love our mothers every day of the year, of course, not just on May 8, but it’s not every day that our favourite restaurants and hotels are primed to help us spoil them too.

In Hong Kong, plenty of venues are pulling out all the stops for Mother’s Day – here are some of our top recommendations.

1. Aqua Luna’s Mother’s Day Dim Sum Cruise

Hong Kong’s iconic Aqua Luna junk is offering a special Mother’s Day Dim Sum Cruise with yum cha delights and a specially made dessert created by the chefs from Dim Sum Library. Alternatively, you can hop on the boat for a Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Cruise that takes in the city’s always-impressive skyline while you sip on Veuve Clicquot champagne.

2. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel’s staycation, spa, wellness escape and more

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is going all-out on Mother’s Day with a collection of treats you’ll need another holiday to recover from. For starters, there’s the 24-hour beauty staycation complete with skin consultations, facial treatments, shopping privileges and detox kits. Then there’s the Mandarin’s numerous Mother’s Day dining options, from a Sunday roast menu at Mandarin Grill + Bar to a six-course dinner menu at Man Wah and a unique Japanese izakaya brunch experience at The Aubrey that includes two hours of free-flow drinks (including champagne). Or consider the Mother-Daughter Digital Wellness Escape at The Mandarin Spa featuring a 90-minute full body massage and a 30-minute express facial for two.
