The Best Ways To Celebrate Mother’s Day in Austin
Mother’s Day is coming up and you’re going to want to make reservations for some of these places ASAP! Treat the moms in your life to a relaxing spa day, a tea party, flowers, shopping, and more! Here’s how to celebrate Mom in Austin this Mother’s Day!
Spas
I was blown away by how much I loved this spa. The Spa inside Kalahari (the largest indoor waterpark in America) is its own entity, so you don’t need waterpark passes or reservations to the resort to visit the Spa. You do need to book a Spa treatment to use the Spa facilities which includes an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, lounge spaces, a sauna, and a Halotherapy (Himalayan Salt Room). Spa services include massage, facials, nails, and hair treatments. The mom in your life will love spending an entire day at this luxurious spa!
Viva Day Spa is my go-to spa in Austin. I especially love their hydra-facial. Go here on May 6, 2024 to enter a giveaway for a free service of your choosing. They have a fantastic deal going on right now- gift $300, get $50!
