Accommodation and Experiences in Uluru & Red Centre

  • Nestled atop rust-red dunes, Longitude 131° overlooks Australia’s best-known natural icon, Uluru, and is arguably one of the best luxury wilderness camps in the world. The welcome open spaces of the central Dune House include the restaurant with ever-changing views of the mysterious monolith Uluru as a backdrop for every meal, as well as lounging areas in contemporary campaign style, ideal for relaxing with an icy drink and exchanging stories of the day’s outback adventures.

    Longitude 131°
  • Soaring white sails crown Ayers Rock Resort’s Sails in the Desert hotel, shading 228 luxury five star rooms and suites. In a destination where one of the world’s oldest cultures still thrives, the mystery, colour and wisdom of the local Anangu people is interwoven into every facet of Sails in the Desert’s modern design. More than luxury accommodation, Sails in the Desert hotel is a destination of exploration and indulgence.
