It’s no secret that being a mom takes a lot of energy. But as a tropical paradise with a “no worries” ethos, restoring people is what the Caribbean is naturally good at. So when the Sandals Institute of Romance revealed what moms want most this Mother’s Day is a nap, we–as leaders in all-inclusive innovation–knew just what to do: Launch The Mom Nap, the world’s first nap amenity for moms.

Naps by the Numbers

A survey, which polled more than 600 moms, offered some refreshingly honest insights into modern motherhood—and the one thing moms across the board are craving: more rest. In fact, nearly 94% said that getting more sleep would actually benefit their entire family. A gentle reminder that the most meaningful gift this Mother’s Day might not be wrapped—it might just be rest.

What’s The Mom Nap Experience?

Starting Mother’s Day weekend, Sandals Regency La Toc, Sandals Royal Curaçao, and Sandals South Coast are piloting The Mom Nap: bookable nap nooks throughout resort, hand-selected for their natural calming properties, reserved exclusively for moms to get the relaxation they deserve. But if you can’t send mom for Mother’s Day–rest assured–the power of a Caribbean nap is always available across our Resorts.

The Science Behind A Caribbean Mom Nap

There’s a lot preventing moms from getting a good nap at home, but put her in the Caribbean, and she’s instantly wrapped in the soothing embrace of the islands, surrounded by elements scientifically proven to promote rest.

☀️Blessed with consistent daylight and warm temperatures year-round, research shows exposure to natural light and warmth helps reset your body’s internal clock and boosts melatonin balance. For the sleep-deprived mom, that means deeper, more refreshing naps.

🌊The gentle breeze and rhythmic waves of the Caribbean sea serve as nature’s white noise machine, which studies show can help mom fall asleep faster and achieve deeper non-REM sleep.

🌺Natural Caribbean fragrances like salt air, blooming frangipani, ylang ylang, and lemongrass can activate mom’s sensory system, which promotes calming effects, deepens relaxation, and aids in quicker descent into mommy dreamland. And if she hasn’t had enough, she can take some home–we bottled a dreamy concoction up in our Sandals signature scent.

🧘‍♀️Moms often feel guilty taking time for themselves. But in the Caribbean, where the pace is slower and “no problem” is a philosophy, the culture itself gives mom permission to rest. Studies have shown that deep relaxation allows the brain to enter Stage 3 deep sleep more easily–the phase where true physical and mental recovery happens.
