Let’s be honest—our moms do everything. From making school drop-offs look effortless to turning a chaotic kitchen into Michelin-level, the woman is a superhero in disguise. So this Mother’s Day in Bali, it’s time to flip the script. No sad supermarket flowers. No last-minute brunch reservations. This year, we’re going full glam, full love, and full-on Bali bliss.
Whether you’re living here, vacationing with your family, or planning a surprise trip, Mother’s Day on the Island of the Gods offers endless ways to spoil the most important woman in your life. And guess what? Alfred in Bali has the ultimate cheat sheet.
1. Book Her a Stay in Alfred’s Villa (No Kids Allowed…Unless She Wants!)
We all know moms rarely take time for themselves. So why not hand her the keys to one of Alfred’s handpicked villas—think private pools, sun-drenched gardens, breezy interiors, and maybe even a bathtub sprinkled with flower petals?
Give her one night (or a whole weekend) of pure, uninterrupted me-time. Better yet, ask us to arrange a private chef for an in-villa dinner, complete with her favorite dishes and a bottle of chilled rosé.

2. Family Fun Day? Yes, Please.
If she’s the kind of mom who lights up around her little ones, plan a wholesome Bali family activity that gets everyone smiling (and makes for great photo ops too). From picnic adventures in Ubud’s rice fields to a laid-back day at Bingin Beach, there’s no shortage of bonding opportunities.
Want something extra? Go for a splash of adventure at Waterbom, or join Da Maria for a friendly pizza making where everyone can get hands-on (and probably a little messy).

3. Spa Day, but Make It Chic
Yes, spa days are a Mother’s Day classic—but in Bali, we don’t do basic. We do private in-villa massages, frangipani-scented body scrubs, sound healing, and flower baths that look like they belong in a Vogue editorial.
Many of our villas also offer in-villa spa treatments on request. Or, if she wants a little solo time, book her into a top-tier spa like You Spa in Umalas or Ourspa in Bingin for the full holistic goddess treatment.
And this year, there’s even more reason to indulge—You Spa and GoNanny Bali are teaming up for a special Mother’s Day Giveaway, pampering 6 lucky moms with a 60-minute Aromatherapy Massage (Umalas or Gili Trawangan) plus one hour of qualified babysitting, so your mom fully enjoy that “me time” while their little one is in safe hands.
4. Take Her on a Day Trip to Remember
Forget your average brunch—this is Mother’s Day in Bali, baby! Rent a driver and plan a dreamy day trip: waterfalls in Gianyar, snorkeling in Amed, or sipping tea in a hillside café with Mount Agung views. If she loves adventure with a side of luxury, book a classic VW Safari and cruise through Bali’s hidden gems with wind in her hair and zero GPS stress.
Don’t forget to pack a handwritten card and maybe even some cheeky Polaroid snaps from the day. We promise, it’ll hit her right in the feels.
5. Sign Her Up for Something New (She’ll Love It, Promise)
Yes, your mom can still learn new tricks—and probably better than you. Book a flower crown workshop, a pottery session in Ubud, or a silver jewelry class where she can craft a piece she’ll treasure forever.
Better yet? Make it a bonding activity. Whether it’s you and mom, or the whole fam tagging along, learning something new together will feel way more meaningful than another scented candle. (Though she’ll still appreciate that, too.)
