Journey to Australia’s iconic Red Centre

A trip to Australia’s iconic Red Centre is to embrace this ancient land’s spiritual strongholds. Start your journey with a stay at Longitude 131° and experience a true sense of stillness and beauty in the desert landscape, rich in culture, heritage and history.

Staying a Longitude 131°

The gateway to the wilderness of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Longitude 131° is a gathering of sixteen luxury tented pavilions. Recreated for the modern traveller to float over the rust-red dunes.

Unparalleled views of Uluru’s changing lights play out from the end of the bed, or on balconies from the warmth of a cosy swag unfurled in the cool night air. Contemporary furnishings, artworks by local Indigenous artists and an array of mod cons dispel any illusion of roughing it.
