Is it just us, or does the air feel a little sweeter this weekend? Maybe it’s the scent of seasonal blooms, or maybe it’s the fact that Mother’s Day is officially here! This Saturday and Sunday, Yangon is transforming into a playground of appreciation for the women who do it all.
Whether your mom is a fitness fanatic, a fine-dining queen, or a lover of the arts, we’ve rounded up the absolute best ways to say “I love you” (and maybe snag a few brownie points while you’re at it).
Saturday: Get Moving and Get Creative
Before the Sunday feast begins, Saturday is all about high energy and artistic flair.
Feel the Burn with Mizuki & Mark
Kick off your Saturday afternoon at the Sky Star Hotel for Mizuki in Myanmar 2.0. International Zumba presenters Mizuki and Mark Kramer are in town to turn up the heat. It’s loud, it’s sweaty, and it’s the perfect pre-celebration endorphin boost.
Sip and Sketch at ShweSaBwe
If you prefer a paintbrush to a pair of sneakers, head over to the iconic ShweSaBwe. Their Drink and Draw session focuses on the PyitTaingHtaung (the traditional Myanmar “never-fall” tumble toy). It’s a beautiful way to connect with local culture while enjoying a glass of something chilled.
Sunday: The Main Event – Mother’s Day
Sunday is dedicated to the ladies of the hour. Here is where you should be booking your table:
The “Treat Her Like Royalty” Brunch
For a truly lavish experience, Meliá Yangon and Inya Lake Hotel are hosting massive Mother’s Day buffets. Inya Lake even has a heartwarming deal: if Mom is 65 or older, her meal is on the house! If you’re looking for a more intimate, lakeside atmosphere, SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge is offering a refined lunch that feels like a getaway within the city.
Afternoon Delights
Not a morning person? No problem. PARKROYAL Yangon is serving up an indulgent High Tea Buffet at Spice Brasserie where Moms get a sweet 30% discount. Alternatively, if you want to soak up the sun, the Afternoon Tea & Pool Escape at Sule Grand includes pool access—perfect for a relaxing family dip.
A Seafood Finale
End the day on a high note at LOTTE HOTEL YANGON. Their La Seine Restaurant is hosting a seafood buffet dinner that promises to be a legendary spread.
Why You Should Go Now
Mother’s Day only comes once a year, and after the hustle of the past few months, the city’s top venues are rolling out the red carpet with exclusive menus and discounts that aren’t available any other time. Plus, with the Cultural Connections 2026 and Nataasha Thwin’s tissue-paper art exhibition running, it’s a fantastic weekend to soak up Yangon’s vibrant cultural scene.
