A Day at Bunker Bay: Making the Most of Pullman's Resort Day Pass
Picture this: you wake up on a Saturday with nothing in the calendar, pack a bag with nothing more than swimwear and a good book, and by mid-morning you are floating in a heated infinity pool with the whole of Bunker Bay stretched out in front of you. No check-in queue, no luggage to unpack, no drive home the next day. Just one full day, given over entirely to slowing down.
That is the idea behind the Day at Bunker Bay pass. It gathers everything a weekend guest loves most about a stay here, the spa, the ocean-view lunch, the pool, and folds it into a single day, open to anyone who wants it, whether they are staying the night or simply driving in for the occasion.
A day, mapped out for you
For $250 per person, the day unfolds in whichever order suits you best. Most guests start with a treatment at Vie Spa, choosing two from a small, considered menu: an aromatherapy spa bath soak, a quandong and bergamot heated scalp cocoon, a rainforest foot treatment, or a relaxing back massage, each around 30 minutes. Long enough to properly unwind, short enough that the rest of the day still stretches out ahead of you.
From there, the choice is yours. Some head straight to the pool with a book. Others save the spa for after lunch, when the sun is highest and a swim feels like the right reward. There is no fixed script here, only the pieces you get to arrange however you like.
Lunch, with the bay as the view
Somewhere in the middle of the day, a two-course lunch at Other Side of the Moon rounds things out properly. The restaurant sits looking straight over Bunker Bay, and the menu leans into what the Margaret River Region does best, fresh, local, and worth lingering over rather than rushing through on the way to the next thing.
The rest of the resort waiting for you
Beyond the spa and the lunch table, the pass opens every door the resort has to offer. The heated infinity-edge pool is usually where the afternoon settles, but the tennis courts and gym are there too, for anyone whose idea of a good day out involves working up a sweat before the swim, not just after it. A 10% discount on Vie Spa retail products means the day's relaxation has something to carry home with you as well.
Who tends to book this in
More people than you might expect treat a day like this as a proper occasion. Locals from around Dunsborough use it as a staycation without the drive south. Villa guests already staying the weekend often add it on for an extra day of indulgence before checking out. Groups of friends have turned it into a birthday tradition, and more than one bride has spent the morning before her wedding here, treatments booked in with her closest friends before the real celebrations begin.
A few things worth knowing
Bookings need at least 24 hours' notice, and everything included is meant to be used on the day itself, so it pays to plan ahead rather than leave it to the morning of. Lunch covers food only, with drinks charged separately, and the pass sits out on public holidays and long weekends, so double-check the calendar before locking in a date. For anyone who falls for the pace of it and wants to stay longer, the Time for Wellbeing package turns the same idea into an overnight escape, with accommodation and breakfast added in.
However the day unfolds, from spa to pool to lunch and back again, the point is the same: a proper escape, without needing to pack for one.
