While family travels filled with nonstop adventures, activities and tours are a must with any family, mom and dad deserve a trip of their own with an itinerary or tour that interests them. Here are some unique and fun places to celebrate Mother’s and Father’s days this year.

Jamaica for James Bond Fans
Retrace the life of Ian Fleming, the man behind the popular action hero. A former British intelligence officer, Fleming bought 15 acres of under-developed land in Jamaica, naming it GoldenEye as an homage to his naval operation that first brought him to the island. Every January and February, for more than 20 years, Fleming lived on this land, writing a new Bond novel each winter.
Now called The Fleming Villa, the five-bedroom villa lies on 52 acres. See Fleming’s writing desk in person and visit the sunken garden where he would entertain icons like Katherine Hepburn and Noël Coward.
New York City for Theater Buffs
Treat mom and dad to a stay at The Chatwal, situated just steps from famous Broadway theaters, Fifth Avenue and Central Park. The Chatwal welcomes mom and dad with gifts like an elaborate flower arrangement and a box of chocolates for mom and artisanal nuts and beer for dad. The hotel also includes a bottle of Champagne in its welcome gift.
Mom and dad will enjoy a $150 dinner credit toward The Lambs Club, one of Manhattan’s most legendary restaurants, led by chef Michael White. After dinner, the night doesn’t have to end there, with options like a late-night drink at the bar to a show on Broadway awaiting mom and dad. To end the night, luxurious guestrooms with Art Deco accents and min-bars stocked with premium liquor serve as the perfect close to a great day.
