We all need some quality mother-daughter time, and here at Winged Boots we think the best way to have that is getting away together.
It's time to ditch the quick cuppa drop-in or repeated dinner spot for something far more exciting. How about a helicopter ride over New York, brunch in Barcelona, celeb spotting in LA or wine tasting in Douro? You both deserve a holiday that you'll be talking about for years to come. And for those with sisters and daughters - bring them along for an even more memorable multi-generational family trip.
It's time to co-ordinate your diaries and let us help you plan the perfect mother and daughter getaways. We have a feeling it’ll be the first of many.
Shopping in New York City
STAY: As far as the best mother and daughter holiday destinations go, The Big Apple is pretty high on the wishlist. You can shop 'til you drop with a stay at The Peninsula New York, with it's excellent location close to Fifth Avenue. And once you're done treating yourselves, head to the hotel spa for some additional TLC. Contemporary rooms with an Asian twist will be the perfect retreat for you both after a long day in the city.
DINE: Enjoy breakfast and a show at Ellen’s Stardust Diner where you can tuck into pancakes whilst being serenaded by Broadway performers. Looking for fine dining? The iconic Eleven Madison Park is renowned for its exquisite set menu and high-ceilinged art-deco space.
DO: Take in the famous New York skyline from above with a private helicopter ride. Sip on a glass of fizz as you take in breathtaking views of the city that never sleeps. It's a once in a lifetime experience that you'll both treasure forever. Fancy a mother-daughter New York trip? Fifth Avenue is almost within touching distance when you browse our fantastic New York City experiences.
Culture in Abu Dhabi
STAY: You'll feel like royalty as you walk through the grand entrance of Emirates Palace. Rolex clocks and Swarovski encrusted door handles are just some of the fine finishes that you can expect from this beautiful resort. Be sure to delight in a traditional afternoon tea at Le Café finished with the famous Camelccino, a coffee made from camel milk.
DINE: 63 floors above the skyline, enjoy an immersive dining experience at Le Petit Chef at Ray's Grill inside Conrad Abu Dhabi.
DO: Be sure to absorb the local life at a souk where you can find a trinket or two for memorable souvenirs. Alternatively, opt to visit one of the most architecturally famous buildings in the world, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. It's one of the largest ever mosques, home to seven crystal chandeliers, 82 domes and a 17.500 square-foot courtyard made from marble mosaic.
Pastries in Paris
STAY: Relish in opulent art-deco styled suites at Shangri-La Hotel Paris. After a busy day of sightseeing, we recommend grabbing a bottle of vino and some tasty treats to enjoy on your private balcony. Wrap yourselves in a bathrobe and take in the views of The Eiffel Tower as you cheers to another day in the City of Lights.
DINE: Known for its pastries, no mother-daughter trip to Paris would be complete without trying a macaron at Ladurée's flagship on Champs-Élysées. For dinner, get a seat at La Poule Au Pot, run by renowned chef Jean-François Piège. Here you'll be served the best of traditional Parisian fare including classic onion soup, snails and beef fillet.
DO: Ensure the perfect girls night out with an evening of cabaret, rhinestones, feathers and bundles of fun at the Moulin Rouge. The famed windmill is in the centre of the city.
High fashion hotels in Milan
STAY: Tucked within a 15th-century convent, Four Seasons Hotel Milano is a serene retreat in the heart of the city’s fashion district. Lush courtyards, elegant suites, and a chic spa create an atmosphere of effortless luxury. From aperitivos in the garden to indulgent treatments below vaulted ceilings, it’s the ultimate Milanese escape, timeless and refined.
DINE: Discover signature Italian flavours by three-Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito at Il Ristorante located within Bulgari Hotel Milano. Dishes such as charcoaled monkfish, risotto lemon and spaghetti with caviar are delights that are sure to send your taste buds on a culinary journey.

Coffee breaks in Vienna
STAY: Experience the old with the new at Rosewood Vienna. This recently opened hotel has brought Rosewood's established name to the former headquarters of Erste Group Bank AG, transforming the historic building into a luxurious haven. Overlooking Petersplatz Square, a stay here means you're in prime location to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city.
DINE: Although synonymous with the schnitzel, be sure to also sample Austria's melting pot of cuisine that's influenced by its European neighbours. And if catching the caffeine scene is your thing, you're in luck - the Viennese coffee culture has been recognised by UNESCO. We recommend trying the Eispänner, a double espresso served with a large helping of whipped cream on top and covered in powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
DO: Book tickets to the Vienna State Opera for the capital's best ballet in a glorious setting.
Vineyards in Porto
STAY: Six Senses Douro Valley provides the ideal base with a wellness spa, comfortable rooms and suites, and exceptional views of the rolling hillsides meeting the horizon.

Sail and spa in Mallorca

Start with a morning at the clifftop spa, wander charming nearby villages, then sip sunset cocktails overlooking the Med. With warm service, fresh Balearic cuisine and panoramic views at every turn, it’s a place to reconnect, relax and indulge together.
DINE: Dining at Béns d'Avall is a refined love letter to Mallorca’s land and sea. The tasting menu is pure theatre; think red prawn tartare with citrus snow, suckling pig with fig and chamomile, and olive oil ice cream served with a twist of fennel. With clifftop views and deep-rooted family heritage, it’s magic on every plate.
DO: Set sail along Mallorca’s dramatic north coast on a private boat tour made for memory-making.

Detox in the Dolomites
STAY: Set against the dramatic Brenta peaks, Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti is an alpine retreat where design meets nature. This sleek, sustainable hideaway in Pinzolo invites you to check into a Prestige Junior Suite, complete with whirlpool, walk-in wardrobe and mountain views that feel like a living painting. Guests should note that due to its exclusive location, transfer times from Verona Airport can be around two hours.
DINE: At Grual, the resort’s Michelin-starred restaurant, expect a forest-to-table philosophy and dishes that feel as restorative as the spa. Think alpine herbs, local produce and creative plating beneath sculptural wood ceilings.

DINE: OUR FAVOURITE AFTERNOON TEAS
Afternoon tea in London is more than tradition; it's theatre on a cake stand.
