Longitude 131°

By the Destination Traveller editors · 30 October 2026

Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia

Longitude 131° is Australia's most celebrated luxury camp: sixteen tented pavilions among the red dunes of the Central Desert, each with a view of Uluru from the bed. Everything is included, from guided sunrise walks at the rock to dinner under the stars, making it the perfect counterpoint to a journey on The Ghan.

Best for: Couples wanting an unforgettable, all-inclusive stay facing Uluru.

Where it is

The camp sits in the dunes on the edge of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a short transfer from Ayers Rock Airport, which has direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Darwin. See our Ghan and Red Centre trip.

Rooms and suites

Fifteen Luxury Tents, 63 square metres each, frame Uluru through floor-to-ceiling glass, with balcony daybeds and First Nations art. The Dune Pavilion, at 153 square metres, is the only accommodation with views of both Uluru and Kata Tjuta, and has its own plunge pool. Children are welcome from ten years.

Food, spa and the rest

Rates include all meals and drinks and a programme of signature experiences: Uluru sunset with a pop-up bar, guided walks at Uluru and Kata Tjuta, Bruce Munro's Field of Light, and dinner under the stars at Table 131°. The Dune House has a bar, restaurant and pool, and Spa Kinara uses native ingredients such as Kakadu plum and desert lime in treatments inspired by Aboriginal healing.

The moment

Lying in bed at dawn as the first light turns Uluru from purple to burning red, framed by your window.

Why we chose it

Uluru is a highlight of any trip to Australia, and Longitude 131° turns a visit into something profound: expert guides, a strong connection with Anangu culture and the land, and the sheer drama of the view. Everything is included, so you can simply be there.

When to go

April to September brings warm days and cool nights; the desert is coldest at dawn in June and July. October to March is hot, with spectacular storms and wildflowers after rain.

The longer stay

Three nights is the right length to see Uluru and Kata Tjuta at different times of day, with the Field of Light and a dinner at Table 131°, before flying on to Sydney or Darwin.
