The guide to accommodation with a swimming pool in the Margaret River Region.
With miles of magnificent coastline and breathtaking beaches, you’d be forgiven for not having ‘swimming pool’ on top of your Margaret River Region accommodation checklist.
But what’s not to love about having a choice of pool and beach? You’re winning the summer holiday jackpot by dipping into both in the same day from your luxury holiday accommodation.
In the interests of having it all, here are our favourite Margaret River Region luxury accommodation options with stunning swimming pools.
From Pullman Bunker Bay’s 25 metre infinity edge swimming pool you can enjoy ocean views, plus cocktails from the pool bar. For days when it’s too fresh for a beach swim, the pool is heated to a comfortable 26 degrees.
Dine alfresco on the outdoor terrace or enjoy an indulgent treatment from Pullman’s Vie Day Spa. With one, two, and three bedroom villa options, Pullman Bunker Bay is both family and couple friendly. Look out for spring and summer accommodation packages with breakfast, bubbles and restaurant offers.
Smith’s Beach Resort offers barefoot understated luxury, nestled into nature by the unspoilt white sandy beach, with a range of accommodation options and a stunning 15 metre infinity-edge heated swimming pool.
Marketing Manager Gemma O’Loughlin said the pool provided guests with the perfect finish to a day’s hiking on the nearby Cape to Cape Track or beach walk. “People choose Smiths Beach Resort because everything’s here,” she said. “Our Ocean View Villas look over both the pool and the beach and we have beautiful outdoor furniture and BBQs to make the most of the warmer months.”
Smith’s Beach Resort guests have the added bonus of Lamonts Restaurant on site, a tennis court, and a children’s wading pool.
For lovers of privacy, Injidup Spa Retreat provides the perfect poolside package. Each of the Retreat’s 10 villas features a private heated plunge pool and ocean views.
Manager Rachel Dobson said the Villas were beautifully designed. “They talk direct to the ocean and provide the best of coastal living – ocean breezes, views and the sound of the waves. Guests love the fact that they can be in their villa, enjoy their plunge pool and forget there are other people around,” she said.
Plus, there’s the stunning guest day spa.
Aqua Resort Busselton’s 25 metre infinity lap pool is just metres from the beach and guests also enjoy an outdoor spa and steam room. A range of beach house options provide space and luxury and the ability to find the perfect accommodation to suit your travelling style and company. Some have their own private heated plunge pools. It’s a swimmers’ paradise!
The Sebel offers guests a choice of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a jacuzzi, and paddling pool for kids. It includes a tennis court, squash courts and gym – an enticing mix of relaxation and recreation.
