Luxurious, eco-sensitive and romantic, Longitude 131° lies at the gateway of the dual World Heritage listed wilderness of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, complete with 5 star luxury and private views of the sun rising and setting over Uluru (Ayers Rock).
For Longitude 131° guests, a complimentary 4WD transfer will pick you up from Ayers Rock Airport and take you back for your return flight. Self-drive is also a popular option with the drive from Alice Springs taking around 4 hours. Parking is available at the Sails in the Desert Hotel car park.
With just 16 tents in total at Longitude 131° you only have to share this amazing experience with just a few others. A white dome roof and flowing fabric draped from the centre of each tent creates the illusion of camping. But unlike the early pioneers and explorers who visited the Australian outback, guests revel in sublime comfort at Longitude 131°. The flick of a bedside switch is all it takes to raise the blinds and watch the spectacular moods of Uluru at sunrise. Meticulously designed to remain cool in summer and warm in winter, guests enjoy reverse cycle air-conditioning, luxury interiors, Bose Sound System with iPod connectivity, mini-bar and tea and coffee making facilities and spectacular views of Uluru.
To start the day, enjoy a mouth-watering buffet or a la carte cooked breakfast. After a morning of touring, return to Longitude 131° to enjoy a gourmet lunch or tasting plates of delicious seasonal produce. In the evening, relax over pre-dinner drinks and canapés served in the Dune House and then enjoy a 3-course dinner with chosen wines. Dining under the stars at Table 131° is an unforgettable experience not to be missed. Dine out on sumptuous outback fayre and discover the wonders of the southern night sky. The evening commences with stunning 360° views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta from a selected dune top whilst enjoying sunset drinks and canapés followed by a 3-course dinner served under the stars and complemented with fine Australian wines. During dinner a Star Talker will highlight the galaxy of stars overhead. Return to the Dune House for after dinner drinks. All meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic are included. Romantic private dining can also be arranged on the Dune Top, by the poolside or in guest rooms.
At Longitude 131° guests take the road less travelled, sharing exclusive and authentic experiences with only a few others.

For those looking for a custom and personalised itinerary, optional tours are also available. On the Uluru Sunrise Walk, view the remarkable changing colours of the vast desert landscape and the spectacular sight of Uluru and Kata Tjuta at dawn.
