From organizing a very special meal to giving the most original of gifts, there are many options in our regional capital to celebrate this date in a different and fun way.
Mother's Day in Colombia shouldn't just be a holiday on the calendar, but the perfect time to lovingly give back all the love our mothers have given us, and to reflect with gratitude on the dedication and sacrifices they continuously make so that their children can always be better than themselves and make the world a better place through their lessons, unconditional love, and good example.
What to do for Mother's Day in Cali?
The question of where to celebrate Mother's Day in Cali is a source of concern every year among sons and husbands about how to pamper and what to give to their mothers and wives in this time of May.
Below, we have compiled a series of ideas to facilitate your search and allow you to decide, with more peace of mind and creativity, which one you believe fits the tastes of the mother of your children or your own mother.
Invite her to try the new menu at La Zarzuela
Celebrating Mother's Day at one of the best restaurants in Cali is always a wise decision... And at La Zarzuela, within the Spiwak Chipichape Hotel, we already have a specially designed menu to pamper all our moms on their day.
Amidst a cheerful and chic atmosphere, you can make her enjoy the culinary offerings we have prepared for this occasion in total safety, with the most attentive service and parking included.
Do not hesitate to request more information and make your reservation with us via Whatsapp, or by writing to our email lazarzuela@spiwak.com. If you prefer to call, you can do so at our numbers: +57 (602) 3959999 extensión 2370 or +57 (316) 690 9586.
Buy her a beautiful orchid
from Valle del Cauca
Did you know that our department is home to the most beautiful and varied types of orchids in the country? So much so that in recent years (2022, 2023, and 2024), discoveries of new species have been made, positioning us as the country with the highest orchid registry in the world?
Just like those precious specimens that are discovered every year, so too are the mothers in our city, who seem to bloom each year with the affection that their children shower upon them on this special day.
So, why not symbolize this devotion by giving your mother a floral arrangement, or better yet: an orchid from our region? Hundreds of nurseries and flower shops in Cali offer their most beautiful flowers during these days, but if you want to take your gift to the next level, we recommend visiting the stores of Orquivalle, Clemda, or the Valle del Cauca’s Association of Orchidology to discover and acquire the exceptional specimens they have.
Or if you visit the latter with your mom, ask about the visit to the Orquideorama Enrique Pérez Arbeláez and the Queen of the Valley orchid. Take the opportunity to show your mother the wonders that are cared for there.
Take a stroll in the Nirvana Natural Reserve
If your mom enjoys nature, a beautiful option to spend her day is to take her to the Nirvana Nature Reserve, located in the municipality of Palmira, near Cali.
In this place, you can share an unforgettable day with her, as it is the perfect setting for birdwatching and wildlife observation along its beautiful and friendly hiking trails.
Its 120 hectares of sub-Andean forest include various viewpoints, a botanical garden, a butterfly sanctuary, and an impressive initiative to restore endangered plant species, among which the Comino Crespo (Aniba perutilis) stands out: a tree that was highly coveted for its golden-veined wood in centuries past and almost disappeared if it weren't for the arduous awareness and rescue work that this foundation carries out in the region.
In addition to this, the reserve has a restaurant, a shop, and a nursery in case you want to complement your mother's visit with a delicious meal or a lovely souvenir from the site.
Take her to choose her gift at Mall Chipichape
If the idea is to take her on a shopping spree around various stores in Cali to choose her gift, why not consider Chipichape Shopping Center as a comfortable and functional alternative to have a good time in the north of our 'Sucursal del Cielo' (Branch of Heaven)?
Just a stone's throw away from our Spiwak Hotels, Chipichape and Pacific Mall offer the most interesting variety of shops and services to enjoy while shopping in the city. In addition to establishments to buy clothes, accessories, and many other products, they also have a cinema, restaurants of all categories, hair salons, a children's playground, and even a casino.
Moreover, these shopping centers often host entertainment events for the various monthly holidays, in which case Mother's Day is one of those special occasions when the May agenda is filled with musical performances, sports activities, workshops, and even philanthropic actions in which visitors can participate.
Lastly, if your mother, wife, or you are staying with us, don't forget to take advantage of the discounts they receive for their accommodation when shopping at stores that are part of our partner program.
Schedule a body therapy session at Samadhi Spa
Even though it's located in the southern part of the city, we can't miss mentioning this establishment that seems to be setting trends in the world of body therapy centers in Cali.
It's called Samadhi Hidro Spa: a space offering specialized services in oriental-style hydrotherapy and body treatments with the widest variety of options for physical and mental well-being.
In beautifully decorated, tranquil, and well-appointed environments, your mother or wife will enjoy exquisite experiences in this complex of jacuzzis, Turkish baths, saunas, and refreshing pools, where they also offer facial therapies, relaxing massages, bridal packages, and many others necessary to return to a state of peace and inner harmony.
We're confident that as a gift, this option is a home run for a tired or stressed mom. But if this establishment seems too far away, you can also schedule similar services with Vida Piel Colombia Vida Piel Colombia (Calle 28 norte #2BN-47) and Prana Spa (Avenida 8 Norte # 10-59), very close to our Spiwak Hotels.
Purchase tickets to a show at any of our magnificent theaters in Cali
Another really cool plan is to take mom to a show. And in this regard, our city is a breeding ground for many cultural expressions that are ready to pay tribute to mom with the best performances.
Whether it's comedy, drama, concerts, dance shows, or any other genre, theaters in Cali are overflowing this month with many options to make any mother happy and smile by her side.
Check out the schedules of the Municipal Theater, Jorge Isaacs Theater y Calima Theater to see this month's programming, or visit the Planteatro.com website to see what dramatic offers are available during this period... Or if your mom is perhaps more alternative and prefers a more intimate and small-scale show, consult directly with the independent theater groups in our city, including the people from the Teatro Experimental de Cali, the Cali Theater Scenic Foundation, the Teatro del Presagio, the Teatro de la Concha, or the Teatro La Máscara.
Give her a cake with a very funny message
Bakeries in Cali are on another level, and it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to gift one of their delicious and creative cakes to pamper your mother on her special day.
And since our city is known for the very high quality of our pastries, we believe that giving a cake, dessert, cookies, or meringue is the sweetest way to end this day properly.
From healthy cakes like those from María María Pastelería, or the rich and flavorful ones from D’Lili Arango, to traditional ones like those from Ventolini, all are safe choices to see your mom with the most beautiful of smiles.
But we recommend taking it a step further... If you think your mother would appreciate a bit of humor, dare to give her a meme cake from Oro Rosa Pastelería or Muflets Pastelería. She's sure to laugh at the jokes these baking artists put into their creations!
Gift her a workshop or course on a topic she enjoys
It's also a great idea to gift a course registration if your mom is someone who longs to learn a new hobby or improve her skills or knowledge in one of her favorite activities.
There are so many courses in Cali that it all depends on her personal interests and how much time she wants to dedicate to learning a long-desired or practiced passion.
From private schools to free or publicly available workshops such as those offered by SENA, the Popular Institute of Culture, the Gender Observatory of the Government of Valle del Cauca, and the Cali School Workshop Foundation, there are plenty of options to find the one she'll like the most.
Likewise, university extension departments like USC, ICESI, UAO and Univalle, or compensation funds like Comfandi and Comfenalco Valle, offer training opportunities for external users in all areas (whether academic or extracurricular). So, we recommend checking their respective websites, or if you prefer: on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and even Twitter, using keywords that match your mother's interests such as "courses," "workshops," "Cali," "dance," "macramé," etc. The results are very interesting and can be useful in your search for the best course to gift your mother on this day.
Book a romantic night at Spiwak Hotels
Sometimes, Mom needs to be pampered in a different way... And nothing beats a getaway for two, at one of the best hotels in Cali, to relieve the pressures of her daily life, allow her to rest, and even reignite her inner fire by leaving the kids for just one night under the care of grandma, the nanny, or someone unquestionably trustworthy.
Our hotels Spiwak Chipichape and Spirito by Spiwak offer romantic plans in Cali that are perfect for making Mom feel young again and rekindling the flame of love, both for herself and her partner.

Also, ask about our day pass plan!
But undoubtedly, the best gift is the tender hug and the kind words you give to your mom on a day like today to show your gratitude and appreciation.
Because the best thing you can do for her is to recognize her years of effort and unconditional love with a gesture that assures her how much you love her and how much her well-being and happiness matter to you.
