With luxurious, pampering spa services that deliver great value along with silky skin and total relaxation, May is a grand month to show your mother — or yourself — some extra love. Here are a few of the desert’s best specials built around Mother’s Day.
The Spa at Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa offers five special treatments available all month. Two massage treatments — the Bump for Joy for moms-to-be and the Mom Rocks, which uses heated stones and personalized therapy — target muscle aches, stress, and tension. The Mother Glows Best Citrus Sugar Scrub is scented with lime and lemongrass; Belle Pelle Facial creates a luminous fresh effect with oxygen, plant-derived stem cells, peptides, and enzymatic botanicals, and the Mommy Makeover Haircut and Blow-Dry with Essential Mani-Pedi is an extra-special luxury service to get ready for parties and brunches.
On May 12, the Westin’s Spa Soiree features an evening of mini-treatments including specialized massage, Table Thai stretching, scalp treatments, express facials, and more. Admission includes a swag bag, hors d’oeuvres, wine bar, vendor demos, retail discounts and raffles. RSVP required. Call 760-770-2180.
JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa’s May spa specials include the Coco-Luscious Facial and Organic Coconut Sugar Polish. The facial aims to nourish and deeply hydrate all skin types with lime and lavender essences, and a moisturizing masque using fresh coconut pulp blended with coconut oil, coconut milk, and shea butter. The final touch is a custom-blended serum and moisturizer to address specific skin needs. The polish exfoliates with raw sugar and virgin coconut oil, a blend that fights free radicals and is packed with Vitamins A, C, and E; then uses coconut firming lotion to silken and smooth. The Celebrate Mother’s Day package includes both treatments and a $15 spa bistro credit.
Spa Esmeralda at Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa is offering a May-long Mother’s Day package, which includes the Elemis facial, hydrating Frangipani hand and arm massage, and a chilled flute of Champagne, plus take-home travel sizes of Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and Elemis Cleansing Balm.

Three Mother’s Day packages at the Omni Las Palmas Spa Las Palmas are available only May 8-14.

The Wine Down Mani Pedi includes a soothing rose soak, Tuscan grape seed exfoliatiation and application of different melted butters to thoroughly luxuriously moisturize, and a glass of red wine or Champagne.
