Situated in the spiritual heart of Australia, and commanding spectacular views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, Longitude 131º is an exclusive and romantic tented camp offering guests a unique experience.
Fifteen lavishly decorated and palatial tents built on stilts and covered with huge white canopies have been designed to complement the natural surroundings. Combining traditional Australian style with contemporary comfort, each air-conditioned tent features king-size or twin beds, stone floors, stunning bathrooms, and a private viewing platform.
Around the property, indigenous artworks from local artists stand alongside an array of artifacts. Glass doors open on to a desert landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a high-canopied roof offer a welcome respite from the heat.
Table 131º features a daily changing menu of contemporary Australian cuisine prepared using indigenous flavors and fresh produce, and are served around communal tables at the Dune House. Alternatively, a romantic, private dining experience can be arranged.
Longitude 131 Information
Location & Getting There
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is located in the Red Centre of Australia, in the Northern Territory. Direct flights are available between Ayers Rock Airport and both Sydney, Cairns, and Alice Springs. Flight times are approximately 3 hours from Sydney and Cairns and 1 hour from Alice Springs. Longitude 131 is then a short 20-minute drive from Ayers Rock Airport. Guests can also opt for the more scenic and far more exhilarating helicopter transfer between Ayers Rock Airport and the Longitude 131 helipad.
Accommodation
The lodge's 15 luxurious pavilions, nestled in the desert between Uluru and Kata Tjuta, comprise a palatial sleeping and lounge space, spacious ensuite bathrooms with oversized rain showers, and a complimentary in-suite bar. One entire glass wall provides unparalleled private vistas of the sunrise and sunset of Uluru with just a flick of the bedside switch - a completely sophisticated version of an explorer's tent!
Activities
Outdoor excursions abound from Longitude 131! Visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, journey along the Mala Walk, walk into the Mutitjulu waterhole, catch a sunrise from the Talinguru Nyakunytjaku viewing area, or explore the area on a camelback.
