Nothing beats a walk on the sand at golden hour. Stop at the Hole in the Wall for some great photos and quiet time together.

Browse handcrafted gifts, fresh food and live music. Pick up something meaningful for Mom, like handmade jewellery or a local delicacy.

12:30 PM – Lunch and lounge time

2:00 PM – Book a spa session

Treat Mom to some quiet time at Simbiosis or The Garden Spa. She deserves it.
