Tropical-inspired ways to celebrate Father’s Day

share

We would all love to be celebrating Father’s Day on a white-sand beach, soaking up the sun poolside and spending quality time with the father figures in our lives. While we can’t jet off on vacation with our dads or grandpas quite yet, brighter days are ahead. In the meantime, we rounded up some vacation-inspired ways to celebrate Father’s Day this year. From creating your own adventures to cooking up destination-inspired dishes, these fun activities are sure to transport you to the tropics.

For the dad who loves to golf

We’re sure plenty of dads are dreaming of hitting the links on the championship courses of Los Cabos right now. Before you can pack up your clubs and head down south, take Dad to the driving range or challenge the whole family to a round of mini-golf. You can even set up your own mini-golf course in the backyard using everyday household items as obstacles! When you can head to the tropics again, treat Dad to a stay at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas. The top-rated luxury resort is located just a short drive from famous courses like Cabo del Sol, Palmilla Golf Club and Cabo Real Golf Club.

For the dad who is always up to explore

Riviera Maya should be on every adventurer’s bucket list with its ancient Mayan ruins and exciting eco adventure parks. While Dad might not be able to snorkel through Mayan cenotes this Father’s Day, he can explore closer to home. Organize a family hike along a nature trail or through a conservation area and pretend you’re trekking through the Mayan jungle! Once you can travel again, head out and explore Riviera Maya’s exotic landscapes before soaking up the sun on the shores of Riu Dunamar, which is conveniently located just a short drive from some of the area’s most popular natural attractions.

For the dad who enjoys a great meal

Trying out new foods is one of the best parts of travelling. So why not bring a taste of the tropics to your kitchen by making a destination-inspired dish together like tostadas or curry chicken? It’s a great way to spend quality time with the fam and learn something new. When you can head down south again, visit one of the culinary capitals of the tropics – Cancun! Stay at Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa to forego the hassle of reservations and indulge in flavourful Mexican cuisine at the Agave restaurant.

For the dad who needs to relax and unwind

Vacations are all about rest and relaxation – and while a beachside massage is off the table, you can organize a relaxing spa day at home for father figure in your life. You could also put together a gift box of some of his favourite shaving creams, soaps, bath products and more. When the time comes to travel again, book dad a relaxing getaway at Hideaway at Royalton Negril, an adults only oasis in Jamaica with a spa offering a range of treatments. We recommend the “Just for Him” facial.

For the dad who’s the life of the party

If your dad is the life of the party, we’re sure that enjoying resort entertainment is one of his favourite parts of a vacation. Since he won’t be taking in a live show at the resort theatre this weekend, you can treat him to a movie night at home! Put on one of his favourite movies or pick a tropical-inspired flick like Pirates of the Caribbean to watch. When you can head to the Caribbean yourself, take dad to the adults only Royalton CHIC Punta Cana Resort and Spa, with exciting theme parties throughout the week – we think he’ll especially love the 80s and 90s night on Sundays!
