Whether your mum prefers elegant indulgence, creative workshops, or something completely unexpected, here’s your comprehensive guide to celebrating Mother’s Day 2025 in Singapore with flair and heartfelt appreciation.

Classic Afternoon Tea Experiences

For mothers who appreciate tradition with a touch of luxury, Singapore’s finest establishments are crafting special Mother’s Day 2025 afternoon tea experiences.

The Grand Lobby at Raffles Singapore offers a timeless experience surrounded by magnificent floor-to-ceiling Victorian pillars bathed in natural skylight. Their refined Mother’s Day afternoon tea features delicate finger sandwiches, house-made scones, cakes, and seasonal delicacies complemented by a curated collection of exquisite teas and champagnes. The elegant atmosphere makes it perfect for chic celebrations with mum in one of Singapore’s most iconic heritage settings.

At Shangri-La Singapore, The Rose Veranda presents a dreamlike garden of pastels and blossoms for their spring-inspired afternoon tea. Menu highlights include buttery crab brioche, luxurious sous vide egg with seared foie gras, and creamy brie fritters. On the Mother’s Day weekend itself, all mums will receive complimentary Kinohimitsu wellness gifts including bird’s nest with red dates and collagen products.

For a modern twist, Mandarin Oriental Singapore’s “Teatime Dreams” experience (available through Mother’s Day weekend) brings together luxury and lifestyle in collaboration with Porsche Singapore. Indulge in savouries like Beef Medley and Salmon Royale with gin and caviar, complemented by sweet treats including an 85% Dark Chocolate Mousse with kirsch cherries.

Culinary Adventures and Brunches

Celebrate Mother’s Day 2025 with extraordinary dining experiences across Singapore.

Pullman Singapore Hill Street invites you to their “Mamma Mia!-themed Mega Brunch” complete with ABBA sing-alongs. This lavish buffet journeys from Manhattan classics to Japanese delicacies, featuring sushi, sashimi, premium cold seafood, and live stations serving BBQ Pork Baby Back Ribs and Salt-Baked Whole Barramundi. For a sweet finish, there’s a whimsical Gelato Trolley, and mums receive an exclusive SHISEIDO door gift valued at $120.

For mothers who enjoy getting hands-on in the kitchen, consider booking a cooking or baking workshop at ABC Cooking Studio Singapore. Their seasonal Mother’s Day lessons let you and mum learn culinary skills together, creating a new tradition of shared kitchen adventures.

Chocolate enthusiasts will appreciate Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie’s workshops, where you can learn about what turns a bean into a bar while having hands-on indulgence customising chocolate. Choose between options like the Signature Chocolate Snaps Making Class or the Parent + Child: Design a Bar workshop for a sweet bonding experience.

Unique Cultural and Artistic Experiences

Mother’s Day 2025 offers several cultural and creative activities perfect for meaningful celebration.

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra is hosting a free, open-air Mother’s Day Concert 2025 at the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage in Singapore Botanic Gardens. Beginning at 6pm (with a pre-show performance at 5:30pm by violinist Travis Wong and pianist Michelle Seah), this concert features talented young musicians and composers celebrating motherhood. Arrive early to secure limited freebies distributed from 5pm, and enjoy a picnic on the lawn with the whole family, including furry members.

For creative mothers, Tombalek Workshop offers a 90-minute Clear Glassblowing Experience where participants can learn to blow a simple bubble and create a cup. Your mum will leave with a unique handmade piece that serves as a lasting memento of the day.

Alternatively, consider a perfume-making workshop at Scentopia, where mum can craft her signature fragrance by blending notes that resonate with her personality. This sensory journey results in a personalised keepsake scent as unique as she is.

Wellness and Relaxation

After years of caring for others, Mother’s Day 2025 presents the perfect opportunity for mum to focus on self-care and relaxation.

Treat your mother to a spa day at Ikeda Spa, which offers an authentic Japanese experience complete with hinoki-buro (tubs made from fragrant Japanese cypress wood with healing properties) imported directly from Japan. There’s even a zen garden to enhance the tranquil atmosphere. Their signature treatments include the geisha organic facial, zen candle therapy massage, and ganbanyoku-a Japanese detoxification ritual on a volcanic hot stone bed.

For mothers who appreciate holistic wellness, The Wellness Curator combines counselling and psychotherapy with experiential modalities such as arts therapy, mindfulness, and yoga to help restore balance and strength-a thoughtful gift for mums who value mental wellbeing.

Unexpected and Creative Activities

If your mum has an adventurous spirit, consider some of Singapore’s more unusual Mother’s Day 2025 offerings.

The Fragment Room provides a rage room experience where mum can release a year’s worth of stress by smashing objects with her weapon of choice. While unconventional, it might be exactly the cathartic experience she needs.

For photo enthusiasts, Dreaming Studio offers Nyonya-inspired photoshoots at Emerald Hill, complete with curated Nyonya kebayas, accessories, traditional-inspired makeup, and hair styling. Your mum can channel her inner Nyonya and receive a portrait worthy of displaying at home.

LEGO enthusiasts will appreciate The LEGO Group’s Mother’s Day Pop-up at Suntec City from May 9-12, featuring floral-themed building activities where you can construct and take home a LEGO Rose and Daisy set. There’s also an opportunity to redeem a complimentary LEGO Rose Stalk and create personalised LEGO floral arrangements-a bouquet that will never wilt.

Meaningful Mother’s Day 2025 Celebrations

Beyond activities and gifts, Mother’s Day 2025 presents an opportunity to create meaningful connections. Consider starting new traditions, creating a memory book together, or simply setting aside uninterrupted time for conversation.

For working mothers, companies can show appreciation by offering half a day off before Mother’s Day or implementing a “workload-light” day. According to the 2024 NTUC U Women and Family Report, 71% of working mothers in Singapore experience “caregiver burnout” at least once a week, making recognition of their contributions particularly important.

You might also consider volunteering together with organisations like Daughters of Tomorrow or Singapore Red Cross for a meaningful day spent helping other women or families, or attending the free SSO concert at the Botanic Gardens for a melodious tribute to mothers everywhere.

Conclusion

Mother’s Day 2025 in Singapore offers countless ways to celebrate the remarkable women in our lives. Whether through luxurious afternoon teas, creative workshops, wellness treatments, or unexpected adventures, the key is finding an activity that resonates with your mum’s personality and preferences.

Remember that while special activities create wonderful memories, the most important gift remains quality time and heartfelt appreciation. So mark your calendar for Sunday, May 11, 2025, and plan a day that’s as extraordinary as she is-because mum deserves nothing less.
