Blissful Beach Massage

There isn’t a much better way to encourage Mom to relax than with a massage in a secluded, beachfront cabana. The ambient sounds of the shore offer the pitch-perfect backdrop as the Sea-Renity Beach Spa & Eco Boutique massage therapists work-out the stresses of everyday life. This one-of-a-kind, Anna Maria Island spa replaces the typical spa with a truly peaceful environment. Mom will also have the opportunity to shop Sea-Renity’s Bou-Tiki for jewelry, clothing, wellness items and Gulf-inspired gifts. Book early to reserve that coveted sunset session!

Hand-Picked Sunflowers

With a rich history of agriculture, you’ll find that the Bradenton Area is home to many working farms. What makes these farms special is that they often invite the public to participate in many activities, including picking fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Hunsader Farms is home to many ”u-pick” options, including seasonal sunflowers for Mother’s Day. Surprise Mom with a special bouquet of hand-cut sunflowers, or bring her along so she can enjoy spending time in the sun and cutting them herself!

Paddleboard Yoga

There is something special that happens when practicing yoga outdoors, especially in the Bradenton Area. If Mom is a yoga buff, she will appreciate a session atop a paddleboard on the tranquil waters of Anna Maria Island. The seasoned instructors at the Salty Buddha provide all the necessary equipment, allowing Mom to harmonize with the H2O as she floats inches above tranquil, emerald water.
