Every year, Mother's Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate the women who matter most in our lives. At Hotel Mandji in Port-Gentil, we are dedicated to transforming this day into a moment of pure happiness, a suspended instant where every mother feels like a queen. Who are the mothers we celebrate? They are all the women who give the best of themselves to their families every day, with the warmth and generosity that are hallmarks of Gabonese culture.
What happens at Hotel Mandji for this occasion? From the moment they enter the hotel, mothers are greeted with sumptuous floral decorations made of fresh tropical flowers: hibiscus, orchids and birds of paradise. Each mother receives a personalized bouquet and a carefully prepared welcome gift from our team. The atmosphere is filled with softness, shimmering colours and intoxicating fragrances that transport our guests into a world of refinement.
An exceptional gourmet brunch
When does the celebration begin? From 10 o'clock in the morning, our restaurant opens its doors for an exclusive gourmet brunch. Our chef prepares a sumptuous buffet blending Gabonese and international flavours: fresh pastries, seasonal tropical fruits (mangoes, papayas, pineapples), eggs Benedict reimagined with Atlantic shrimp, Nyembwe chicken in brunch version, and many other delights. Freshly squeezed fruit juices, champagne and non-alcoholic cocktails accompany this morning feast in a warm and festive atmosphere.
A family pool party by the swimming pool
Where does the party continue? By our magnificent swimming pool, of course! In the afternoon, a family pool party is organized with live music, children's entertainment and refreshing cocktails for adults. The sun loungers are draped with colourful African fabrics, the tables decorated with floral arrangements, and a local DJ sets the mood with a mix of Gabonese and international hits. Children enjoy creative workshops specially designed so they can make handcrafted gifts for their mothers.
Spa treatments for ultimate relaxation
How do we offer a moment of ultimate relaxation? Hotel Mandji offers exclusive spa packages for Mother's Day. Relaxing massage with local essential oils, hydrating facial treatment, manicure and pedicure: our professional beauticians take care of every mother with natural products inspired by Gabon's botanical richness. A dedicated relaxation area allows mothers to recharge in complete serenity.
A candlelight dinner to end the day
Why choose Hotel Mandji for this celebration? Because we believe every mother deserves the very best. In the evening, a gourmet candlelight dinner is offered in our restaurant, with a special menu created by our chef: captain fish carpaccio starter, grilled lobster or beef fillet Rossini main course, and a signature chocolate and exotic fruit dessert. The evening continues with live music from a band performing the most beautiful love songs.
