Yoga

Start the day off right with a yoga session in our beachfront yoga pavilion. Moms are always so busy thinking about everyone else; what better way to clear her head than with an hour spent focusing on individual poses and breath?

Breakfast

Follow up the yoga session with a light breakfast in the Laluna restaurant. Some fresh, locally grown fruit or a pastry paired with a delicious cappuccino or mimosa will keep Mom going until lunchtime.

Spa

Of course, you can’t have a day of pampering without spa treatments. Normally we recommend a Balinese couples massage to our guests, but on this special day, the four-handed Indonesian massage is the way to go. Our masseuses will focus all of their attention on Mom, ensuring that she finds total relaxation. While Mom sips on some soothing local ginger and honey tea, treat her to a well-deserved mani-pedi to cap off the spa experience.

Into the Sea

While Mom is being pampered in the spa, take some time to familiarize yourself with a hobie cat. These small sailing vessels are perfect for two, and when she’s finished being pampered, make her feel like the star of the seas with a quick jaunt around the Laluna bay.

Lunch & Relaxation

Back on land, head back up to your suite for an intimate lunch. Room service will deliver your meal to be enjoyed on your private veranda; when finished, enjoy a refreshing dip in your suite’s plunge pool, or enjoy a lazy afternoon lounging on the Balinese day bed.

Sunset Appreciation

The sunsets of Grenada are one of a kind, and Laluna’s Sunset Lounge is the perfect place to view it from. Head down for a delicious tropical drink before dinner and take in the majestic beauty. If you show up a little early, the thatched-roof lounge is also an excellent location to sit back with  a cocktail and enjoy a game of backgammon or Scrabble.

Dinner

Cap the day off with a delicious dinner prepared by our Italian chef, paired with a bottle of wine from our extensive cellar. Following the meal, a moonlit walk down the beach will leave Mom with memories to last a lifetime.

Make it Happen

The Laluna Escape Package is the perfect way to surprise Mom this Mother’s Day. Whether you are able to take the trip that weekend or come a little later, this 3-night, 4-day package is designed for a quick getaway.

Ciao,

Laluna

On a visit, there are several points of interest to explore. The grounds near the fort are alive with colorful blossoms, and any evening year-round the sunsets over the ocean are spectacular, as well as the sunrises. However, any time of day is ideal for overlooking the charming area of St. George and the coastal views. During cruise ship season, it can be magical to look over the harbor after dark and see all of the ship lights glimmering off of the water.

One of the most exciting things when traveling is exposure to new experiences. While many travelers may be familiar with massage treatments including Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and sports, they may not have had the chance to enjoy a Balinese massage. Offered by the Asian Spa at Laluna this massage style uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure and aromatherapy oils, and is the perfect way to slip into bliss on your Grenada vacation.

Combining influences from a number of cultures, including Chinese and Indian, Balinese massage is often linked with Ayurveda, an Indian holistic medical system that places an emphasis on bringing the body into balance. Designed to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and qi (energy) around your body, techniques including rolling, kneading and stroking, acupressure and reflexology are implemented to encourage relaxation and wellness.

Working deeply in the tissue, a Balinese massage harnesses acupressure and reflexology techniques to reduce a variety of ailments including sports injuries, migraine, sleep disorders and anxiety. During your massage a Balinese masseuse will use a variety of techniques including press point and palm pressure, sliding long exploration, short exploration and kneading. Good for soothing damaged tissue and relieving strained muscles and joint pain, the circulation boost you’ll experience following your Balinese massage will help to reduce stress and bring your body back in to balance.
