Uluru Longitude 131

Gathered as if around a campfire, fifteen luxury tents at Longitude 131° each offer views to Uluru – from the end of the bed! The premium Dune Pavilion is the only accommodation with views to both World Heritage-listed wonders Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

Nestled among ancient dunes, Longitude 131° is a gathering of sixteen tented pavilions designed to offer both luxurious sanctuary and a profound sense of place. Unparalleled views of Uluru’s changing lights play out from the end of the bed, or on balconies from the warmth of a luxury swag unfurled in the cool night air. Custom furnishings invite stylish lounging, while works by local indigenous artists offer inspiration. Guests observe the sights of the outback through floor to ceiling windows, relax on outdoor decks and sleep under a blanket of stars.

Treasured as Australia’s spiritual heart, the dual World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is an ancient desert landscape widely
known as the ‘Red Centre’. Domed by a deep blue sky and spanning a vast expanse of the Northern Territory, the outback’s rugged beauty
is heightened by the living presence of one of the world’s largest monoliths, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the sacred red domes of Kata Tjuta
(The Olgas) which stand nearby.
With Longitude 131° as luxury basecamp, guests are guided on an itinerary of signature excursions allowing an intimate encounter with the
region’s iconic natural attractions. Stories of the land’s traditional custodians shared along each of the tours add a personal education of
the local landscape and culture to the experience. Expeditions are shared with fellow guests and operate on a rotating basis dependant on
day of arrival and weather permitting. Scheduled timing is subject to sunrise and sunset times which vary throughout the year according
to the Red Centre’s distinct seasons.
Seasons of the Red Centre
The region’s semi-arid climate produces great travelling conditions. Warm, sunny days with minimal rainfall are the norm for much of the
year. Typical desert weather patterns make for reasonable fluctuations in temperature between day and night. During the summer months,
average temperatures range from 35°C during the day to 18°C overnight. In the winter months, the average daytime temperature is 22°C
