New Find experiences to bid on at Bunkhouse properties

To celebrate Bunkhouse's integration into World of Hyatt, the company has launched four limited-edition experiences at properties that members can bid on with points. These experiences typically offer one-of-a-kind access, huge perks and other bonuses (like airline miles to help get you to the experience).

The Bunkhouse experiences include:

• Restorative couples escape in Mexico: Enjoy a three-night retreat for two in an oceanfront king room with a plunge pool, plus a private yoga class and sound bath, massages, a private boat adventure and a private beachfront bonfire with a three-course dinner at Hotel San Cristobal.
• Luxury getaway in Texas: Enjoy a three-night stay with luxurious suite accommodations, a hotel dining and retail credit, and a four-course dinner by chef Aaron Bludorn at Hotel Saint Augustine, as well as an exclusive curator-led tour of The Menil Collection, a custom boot design experience at Republic Boot Co. and American Airlines AAdvantage bonus miles to use toward your flights.
• Vinyl and barbecue in the heart of Texas: Enjoy a four-night getaway for two with accommodations and a hotel dining and retail credit at Hotel Saint Cecilia or Carpenter Hotel, plus a Michelin-starred smokehouse pit tour and curated spread with chef Ali Clem at La Barbecue, a private listening session with cocktails and bites at the Equipment Room and American Airlines AAdvantage bonus miles to use toward your flights.

These auctions start at just 5,000 World of Hyatt points, with bidding open through Aug. 18.
