DEEP IN THE DESERT

Where Australia’s vast Red Centre meets the ancient beauty of Uluṟu.

Longitude 131° rests among the rust-red dunes of Australia’s Northern Territory, overlooking Uluṟu in the heart of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Surrounded by an immense expanse of outback, the lodge offers a rare perspective on this ancient landscape, where days begin with the changing colors of the desert and end beneath a canopy of stars.

Longitude 131° will be closed from January 25 to April 19, 2027 for a soft refurbishment.

WHERE YOU’LL STAY

Wrapped Within the Desert

Sixteen tented pavilions make the most of their remarkable setting. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings Uluṟu fully into view, private balconies open to the desert, and commissioned First Nations artworks bring stories of country and culture into every corner.

BOOK ACCOMMODATIONS

Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa holds dual World Heritage status, natural and cultural.

It holds some of the darkest night skies in the southern hemisphere.

Here, temperatures can swing by 20 degrees between day and night.

The Aṉangu have lived on this land continuously for over 30,000 years.

DINING

The Desert Is Served

Wooden outdoor seating area at dusk with Uluru in the distance.

Days in the desert start early, often with coffee and breakfast before sunrise. Come back to lunch overlooking Uluṟu, then end the day over dinner at the Dune House or beneath a sky full of stars at Table 131°, where Australian produce and native ingredients tell another story of the land.

DINE IN THE DESERT

WELLNESS

Desert Alchemy

Two bowls of natural spa ingredients, a purple powder and a maroon paste, are arranged on a red, sandy surface with dried grass stalks and pine cones.

Spa Kinara takes its form from the traditional Aboriginal wiltja shelter and its name from the Pitjantjatjara word for moon. Signature treatments practice a kind of natural alchemy, transforming yellow clay, nutrient-rich salts, local botanicals, and sustainable ingredients into restorative rituals.
