Planning a mother-daughter vacation is a balancing act. The best destinations offer enough power so you will never get bored, but it’s not that you feel rushed or overwhelmed. The atmosphere is also very important. You will want an active and relaxed place that is charming but not too romantic. Then there is the wildcard: your dynamic. Will you run out of talking? Will you drive each other to the wall? Or is this a girl’s trip that brings you closer? A well-planned resort can not only transform the scenery, but also create moments of connection, laughter and even new yearly traditions.
Of course, no two families are exactly the same. Some have connected with shopping orgy and spa treatments, while others have thrived on culinary experiences and cultural immersion. For those with the opposite travel style, the key is to choose a destination with diversity – you can relax elsewhere, or you can enjoy various activities (think a culinary-centric bike tour that soothes fitness enthusiasts and foodies). Whether you are planning a quick escape on Mother's Day or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, these 12 mother-daughter travel ideas will provide a blend of culture, relaxation and adventure.
