Longitude 131

Connect to Australia’s spiritual centre at Longitude 131, which is located in the World Heritage-listed expanse of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. It has just 15 tents—more like chic cabins—looking out towards the rust-red wilderness of the Simpson Desert, with incredible private views of the sun rising and setting over Uluru (formerly referred to as Ayers Rock).

Every other night, guests are taken to a secret location for the hotel’s Table 131 dining experience, where they’ll enjoy a three-course meal alfresco, followed by a storytelling session about the region’s expansive desert starscape.

Here, the vast red desert feels like your own personal playground, and there are many ways to enjoy it: you can book a helicopter, Harley Davidson or camel to ride around the area; take a guided excursion to learn about the history of Uluru; or wake up at 5am to catch the ethereal sunrise over the ancient monolith, with freshly baked pastries to tempt you out of bed.

Tatler Tip: As comfy as the beds are here, we recommend spending a night on the deck—the staff can even set up a bed there, so you can sleep under a blanket of stars and wake up with Uluru in your sights.
