Here at Hotels VIVA we've prepared a perfect package for you to enjoy an amazing Father's Day with us.
Spain celebrates Father's Day on the 19th of March, and even if your country has a different day, you can still take the opportunity to celebrate this special date with a getaway to a hotel with a spa in Mallorca.
Father´s Day around the world
Father's Day celebrates and honours the figure of the father and his presence in the lives of his children.
As we just mentioned, different countries celebrate it on different days, according to each country's tradition.
For example, throughout the American continent (North, Central and South America), since 1966, Father's Day has been celebrated on the third Sunday in June. The UK also celebrates it on this date.
In Australia and New Zealand, it's the first Sunday in September, and in countries such as Lebanon and Egypt, it's on 21st June, coinciding with the beginning of summer.
In many European countries, Father's Day has a religious origin, linked to Catholicism.
In Germany, this date coincides with the Ascension of Jesus, i.e. it is celebrated on the 40th day after the Resurrection.
In Spain and Portugal, the date established to honour fathers is the 19th March, Saint Joseph's Day.
Ideas for an unforgettable Father’s Day in Mallorca
Here's how to spend a unique and unforgettable Father's Day in Mallorca.
A special breakfast
We suggest you start the day with a hearty breakfast of toast, eggs, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, pastries, etc.
On special dates like this, anything is "allowed", even taking a day off your diet!
Many of the VIVA hotels have a buffet breakfast, a great option to give you the energy for the rest of the day.
Open air sport and exercise
Are you a sporty and adventure-loving Dad?
Mallorca has plenty of options for outdoor activities, such as hiking, climbing, cycling, surfing, canyoning, golf, snorkelling, scuba diving, etc.
If you like sports activities for the whole family, then take a hiking route around the island, or plan a day of water activities adapted to all ages.
You could also take a boat or catamaran trip to discover the island of Cabrera, Dragonera, or the Malgrats Islands.
Cultural visits
If you prefer to spend Father's Day in Mallorca doing cultural activities, then why not visit one of the museums or beautiful monuments that you'll find both in Palma and in other nearby towns?
We recommend that you do a little "research" beforehand to choose the places that Dad would love the most - or even those that will surprise him the most!
A picnic on the beach
Father's Day coincides with the beginning of spring and the arrival of good weather, so this date is perfect to organise a family picnic to make it a really special lunch.
Our hotels are located in beautiful areas, close to the beach or beautiful natural surroundings, so you won't have to travel far to make this possible.
And what to pack in your backpack? Our recommendation is local products, such as bread, cheese, sobrasada, delicious Mallorcan sausages, and some sweets and pastries.
An afternoon in the spa
If you choose a hotel with a spa in Mallorca, then why not take advantage of Father's Day to pamper Dad a little?
The Balneum Spa & Wellness centres in our VIVA hotels create ambiences of real relaxation and wellness.
We suggest you treat him to a dip in the thermal water baths, a massage and a facial or body treatment with natural cosmetics.
Dad will come out of there as a new man!
Evening views
A simple walk by the sea is a really nice way to celebrate Father's Day.
If this walk coincides with a Mallorcan sunset, then you'll enjoy some unique moments and create indelible memories.
This can also be an ideal time to give more sentimental, personal gifts, such as handwritten letters, drawings, handicrafts, books with dedications, photos, etc.
A special dinner
Why not round off this special Father's Day with a romantic or family dinner in one of our hotel restaurants?
In fact, cuisine is one of our strong points, and this will definitely be a wonderful finishing touch to a unique day.
Choose a themed international dinner, an open buffet with the best culinary delicacies, or a special gastronomic experience.
We hope these ideas will help you organise a Father's Day full of surprises and unique touches - book your hotel with a spa in Mallorca now!
