Offering a sun-soaked day of yoga, a delicious breakfast and luxurious spa pampering, the Equine Yoga Experience is an out-of-the-ordinary gift that rejuvenates the body and soul – so much more fulfilling than a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates!
We’re obsessed with everything created by luxury skincare line 111SKIN – so the thought of spending the day in The Spa Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah being lavished with new treatments from the acclaimed British skincare brand will no doubt top the wishlist of numerous mums across the city too!
The award-winning Spa is the first in the UAE to introduce the luxurious Celestial Black Diamond Sculpting, an exclusive body treatment using 111SKIN’s Celestial Black Diamond Intensive Collection to shape, smooth and saturate the skin with nourishment. Add that to the new collection of high-performing facials, including the rejuvenating 90-minute Celestial Black Diamond Non-Surgical Face Lift which strengthens, sculpts and tightens the skin, and the 90-minute Meso Infusion Hydration Therapy Facial, which promises to give severely dehydrated skin an instantly plumed and glowing complexion. Topped off with some award-winning SKIN111 goodies from the Spa Boutique, this is one heaven-sent Mothers Day pampering experience we’d happily accept any day of the year.

When deciding on a spot, consider the weather conditions for the day. If it’s scorching hot outside, opt for a location with ample shade to provide relief from the sun’s intense rays.

Lastly, remember to be responsible and respectful by cleaning up and leaving the park in the same pristine condition as when you arrived.
