The Best Mother’s Day Gift is a Connecticut Getaway
Show your mom how much you care on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 8, and spend a relaxing day enjoying each other’s company while exploring the best that Connecticut has to offer. Whether you see her every day or live far away, here are some ideas for showering the maternal figures in your life with love and attention:
BOOK HER A SPA DAY
Give her some much-needed R&R by booking her a spa day. Numerous studies confirm the benefits of a massage or facial for health, and wellbeing, some of which include reducing anxiety, stress, blood pressure, sleep insomnia, muscle strains, and more.
All three of our Delamar Spa locations (Greenwich, Southport & West Hartford) are open for all facials, massages, and body treatments.
VISIT LOCAL MUSEUMS
