Renowned as the spiritual heart of Australia, the Red Centre in the Northern Territory is rich in rugged outback beauty and Aboriginal culture. Dual World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a living cultural landscape, covering an area of more than 311,000 acres. Australia’s most recognisable natural icon and one of the world’s largest monoliths, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is the region’s gem and the sacred red rock domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) stand nearby waiting to be discovered in an experience that is at once magic, majesty and splendidly isolated.
From your glamourous base at Longitude 131°, immerse yourself in Uluru-Kata Tjuta and discover some of the ancient creation stories of the Anangu, the land’s traditional custodians. Spend time exploring the diverse flora and fauna of the desert and come face to face with this sacred land with the lodge’s personally guided adventures. Watch Uluru change colour at sunrise and sunset. Delve deep into gorges and admire Kata Tjuta’s mystical red rock domes. Wander the acclaimed Field of Light as it blooms and appears to sway as darkness descends over Australia’s spiritual heartland. These are just some of the experiences that will stay with you.
This incredible 4-day escape includes 3-nights’ luxury accommodation at Longitude 131° on a twin share basis. In the spirit of the original pioneers, your lavish tented pavilion seems to float over the rust covered dunes, offering private views of the fabled Uluru.

Enjoy an outback sundowner at the convivial open bar in the Dune House and dine under a glittering canopy of stars at Table 131°.
