A favorite, the Celebration Package includes a Swedish massage ( shown). The new Rock Rose area of the Domain isn't just bringing favorite down- town restaurants and bars up north—it's also attracting businesses like 10-year-old Viva Day Spa, which opens there this spring. "Viva has reached capacity at our other spas, and guests are asking for a location that's more convenient to the north end of town," explains Shannon Mouser, who along with partners Laurie Aroch and Maya Aroch is excited about the 7,000-square-foot, bi-level space designed by architect Michael Hsu. The owners all declare The Celebration Package ($360) the must-try service, featuring a Swedish massage with warm stones, custom facial, and deluxe pedicure. However, each touts her own favorite treatment: Shannon opts for the Viva Shiva Four Handed Massage ($175- $235) because "with two therapists there is no way you can ruminate on anything else," she says. "Your body sends you into the deepest state of relaxation." Laurie favors the Viva Vital Ultimate Facial ($170) because "it is so complete and includes a choice of a facial peel or microdermabrasion. Your skin is left glowing and renewed." And Maya's must is the Head Trip ($140): "I hold stress in my head, neck, and shoulders, and I love getting my hands and feet massaged, so this package is per- fect—80 minutes is just the right amount of time!" 11601 Rock Rose Ave., Ste. 120; vivadayspa.com .
