Celebrating Moms in Naples: What to gift, where to eat, and more!
While we can all agree that moms should be celebrated all 365 days of the year, this Sunday is their day and if you’re celebrating Mother’s Day in Naples, here are our recommendations to make the day EXTRA special!
If you’re looking for a gift…
While stores are marketing their must-buys for mom’s this Mothers Day, I find experiences to be many times more memorable than an item. That being said, here are a couple of experience options that are unique to Southwest Florida!
A Spa Day at JW Marriott on Marco Island: This is a gift that she’ll remember for years to come. If the spa services are outside of your budget, you can purchase a day pass so that she can still enjoy the spa amenities of the resort. Click here for a full review of our day pass trip to the resort!
Naples CycleBoat: A little outside of the box, but if you have a mom who likes to exercise while enjoying a cocktail and also being on the water, then a cycleboat rental is perfect! This gift can be enjoyed by the whole family and you’re guaranteed the award for most creative gift! Click here to visit their website!
A Boat Rental: A little calmer than the previous option, a boat rental is a great way to celebrate your mom while soaking up the Southwest Florida sunshine out on the water. Companies offer half and full day rentals as well as the option for a captain if there are no experienced drivers in the group. The sunsets here in Naples are stunning and you’ll have a front row seat out on the water!
If you need a reservation…
While there are many great restaurants in Naples, Mother’s Day calls for a special dining experience!
Sails Restaurant: One of our favorites for special occasions, the food is phenomenal and the ambiance matches perfectly. After dinner, you can take a stroll down 5th Avenue or make the couple minute drive to the beach!

Hotel Escalante: The hidden gem of Naples, this boutique hotel is located on 5th Avenue and has the most beautiful restaurant hidden behind its gates. The restaurant encircles the hotel’s pool and offers diners an open air experience. While the restaurant is typically not busy, we recommend making reservations and requesting either one of their private tables or one alongside the pool!

Brambles English Tea Room: If you’re looking for a lighter option and a fun experience, High Tea is a unique way to celebrate mom! Tucked away in an ally off of 5th Avenue, you will feel like you’ve been transported out of Naples with the beautiful brick walkway, iron gates tangled with flowering vines, and tranquil fountains. High Tea is offered in the evenings complete with storytelling. The tea room also offers tea service throughout the day. Click the link below to learn more and to make a reservation!
