Mother’s Day is fast approaching a special occasion to honour the woman who gave us life and is always by our side. If you’re looking for an original way to celebrate in Gran Canaria, and want to move beyond the usual flowers or chocolates, consider giving her something even more precious: a new shared memory. Creating a fun story together can be the best tribute of all.
4 top ideas for mother’s day in Gran Canaria
They say you only have one mum, but there are countless ways to celebrate her. This Sunday, 4th May, is Mother’s Day. Here are 4 memorable activities to help you enjoy an unforgettable day with that special person who always cares for you.
1. Bowling: Break the routine with family fun
Bowling might not be an everyday activity, but that’s exactly what makes it a perfect and different plan for families! A game of bowling means some light exercise, a bit of friendly competition, and, most importantly, plenty of laughter. It’s the perfect chance to chat, compete in good spirits, and share quality time together. Gran Canaria offers several bowling alleys, especially in leisure centres like Holiday World Maspalomas, where you’ll also find amusements and entertainment for all ages.
2. Lunch at a special venue
Dining out is always a well-received plan. What better gesture than treating mum to a delicious meal without her having to cook? As Mother’s Day falls on a Sunday, a busy day for restaurants it’s wise to book ahead. For a truly cosmopolitan experience, visit the Nomad Gastromarket, with over 14 international food options, or explore the island’s vibrant local eateries. Enjoying a meal together in Gran Canaria’s unique settings is a treat she’ll remember.
3. Shared challenge: Escape room adventure
If your mum loves a challenge, mysteries, and teamwork, an escape room is a fantastic and on-trend choice. You’ll need to work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and beat the clock.
Dive into adventures like deciphering the secrets of “Subject 386,” reliving the 50’s Rock and Roll era, or following the legendary clues of the world’s most famous detective in “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” No matter the theme, you’ll have to collaborate, uncover hidden hints, and unravel the central mystery. Succeeding as a team is not only fun but also creates unique family memories.
4. Karaoke night: End the day on a high note
For a creative twist, a karaoke session can be the perfect finale. Choose your favourite songs from the classics your mum loved in her youth to today’s hits and get ready to give it your all. The quality of your singing doesn’t matter; it’s all about having fun and sharing a relaxed, music-filled moment. Laughter is guaranteed!
