Just some of the delights on offer for Mothers Day

Celebrate Mother’s Day with an experience designed to indulge the senses and honour connection, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Byron Bay’s coastline.

Begin the afternoon with the Mother’s Day High Tea at Azure Bar and Grill Terrace, where a refined, yet relaxed atmosphere invites you to slow down and savour the moment. On arrival, guests are welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine or a signature mocktail, setting the tone for an elegant celebration. From there, a beautifully curated selection of sweet and savoury delights unfolds – from delicate finger sandwiches to freshly baked scones and handcrafted petit fours, with each element thoughtfully prepared to delight.

As live music drifts through the terrace, the experience becomes more than just dining; it becomes a moment of togetherness. Bottomless premium tea flows throughout the afternoon, encouraging guests to linger a little longer, to share stories, laughter, and appreciation. Framed by coastal light and lush surrounds, it’s a celebration that feels both elevated and deeply personal – a fitting tribute to the women who give so much.

To complement the experience, the Golden Hour Facial at Osprey Spa offers a deeply restorative ritual designed to leave mum glowing from within. This 75-minute treatment combines advanced skincare with sensorial relaxation, beginning with a revitalising Vitamin C exfoliation to brighten and smooth the skin. A luxurious 24kt gold infusion follows, working to enhance radiance and promote a luminous, youthful glow, while a nurturing face and décolletage massage melts away tension.

The ritual is completed with a hydrating Gold and Lime Caviar mask, leaving the skin plump, replenished, and visibly radiant. Afterwards, guests are invited to unwind in the spa lounge with a Collagen Beauty Chef Elixir, extending the sense of calm and renewal beyond the treatment room. A take-home Vanessa Megan perfume adds a final, thoughtful touch – a lasting reminder of the experience. Available to book from 4 to 11 May.

Together, the High Tea and Golden Hour Facial create a seamless journey of indulgence – where flavour, touch, and atmosphere come together to celebrate Mother’s Day in the most meaningful way.
