At a glance
Sixteen luxury tented pavilions in the Red Centre desert, with direct views of Uluru from the bed and a Two MICHELIN Key rating to match.
Longitude 131° is Australia’s most celebrated luxury camp, set among red-rust dunes in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory. The sixteen tented pavilions are arranged like a campfire gathering, with every tent oriented for direct views of Uluru.
The lodge holds Two MICHELIN Keys, a place on Tatler’s Best Hotels Asia-Pacific 2025 list, and Australia’s Leading Lodge honors. Aboriginal storytelling, Ernabella artist residencies, and naturalist-guided experiences thread through the stay.
Dining brings Cape Grim beef, Humpty Doo barramundi, and South Australian shellfish to the table, with Dining Under the Stars as the signature evening. Spa Kinara handles wellness using Aboriginal techniques and native ingredients like irmangka-irmangka.
Highlights
- Three accommodation tiers across sixteen tented pavilions, each oriented for direct views of Uluru from the bed
- The premium Dune Pavilion is the only suite with views to both Uluru and Kata Tjuta, the two World Heritage-listed icons of the Red Centre
- Designed as a luxury camp arranged like a campfire gathering, with Aboriginal artworks and explorer-era relics threaded through the interiors
Accommodation
Luxury Tent
The Luxury Tent runs to 63 sqm, with a king bed positioned for floor-to-ceiling views of the Red Centre. Glass walls front the desert, with a balcony daybed extending the sightline outdoors. Custom furnishings, First Nations artworks, and a swag beside the fireplace layer the space. The lodge’s entry-level tent, with Uluru framed from the bed.
Luxury Tent Premium View
The Luxury Tent Premium View shares the same 63 sqm footprint as the standard Luxury Tent, with the difference being position. Tents in this tier sit where the landscape fills every sightline, with First Nations artworks running through the interiors and the vast southern sky stretching beyond the balcony. The same camp-style luxury, with a sharper view of Uluru.
Dune Pavilion
The Dune Pavilion is the lodge’s flagship at 153 sqm, and the only accommodation in Australia where Uluru and Kata Tjuta share the same horizon. Originally built as the owner’s residence, it pairs commissioned artworks and open skies with a private plunge pool at the dune’s edge. Two World Heritage icons from a single suite, with the desert in between.
Further information
Dining
Dining brings contemporary Australian cooking with native bush ingredients, courtesy of Executive Chef James Taylor. Dinner alternates between the Dune House restaurant and Table 131°, the lodge’s signature open-air four-course dinner served under the stars on a remote dune. Three watering holes run from the Dune House Bar to the Dune Top Bar, plus an all-inclusive in-tent mini bar.
Wellness
Wellness centers on Spa Kinara, set low in the sand dunes and modeled on the wiltja, the traditional Aboriginal shelter of the region. Kinara means ‘moon’ in Pitjantjatjara. Treatments lean on native Australian botanicals like Kakadu plum, quandong, desert lime, and irmangka-irmangka, a bush balm made by NPY Lands Women’s Council. Every treatment opens with a traditional Aboriginal welcome ceremony.
Location
Longitude 131° sits on 23,800 sqm of privately owned land at the edge of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory. The lodge looks directly onto Uluru, with the surrounding terrain spanning red-sand dunes, spinifex, and Katiti Aboriginal Land. Yulara is the nearest township; the dual World Heritage-listed icons of Uluru and Kata Tjuta sit within the surrounding park.
Australia
Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world, and traveling between destinations requires careful planning. Most visitors arrive via major international airports in Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane, with domestic flights being the fastest and most efficient way to cover large distances. If you’re exploring within a region, self-driving is a popular option, especially along famous routes like the Great Ocean Road or through the Red Centre.

You can't have a luxury vacation in Australia without visiting the spectacular Hunter Valley. It's the country's top wine region and also home to some of the world's best Shiraz.
One of my personal highlights of Australia is the culinary scene in Sydney. It's really exploded in recent years thanks to the multicultural character of the city. There is something for everyone.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
