Indulge in a Spa Day at Spa Viata
No girls' trip is complete without a little pampering.

Spend the Afternoon Poolside
Sometimes the best moments of a girls' getaway are the simplest ones.
Order a round of cocktails, settle into a lounge chair, and spend the afternoon soaking up the Texas sunshine by the pool. For an elevated experience, reserve one of Hotel Viata's private cabanas, complete with plush seating, a stocked mini-fridge, and dedicated poolside service. Planning a staycation or day trip? A limited number of pool day passes and cabanas are also available for non-guests, making it easy to enjoy a relaxing day by the water.
