Travel Australia in style

From desert monoliths to coral gardens, experience Australia's extraordinary locations while staying in equally impressive hand-picked lodges.

This itinerary brings together Australia's most iconic highlights while ensuring every step of the journey is steeped in comfort. From the harbour city of Sydney to the dramatic landscapes of the Blue Mountains, the red heart of Uluru, and the tropical beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, this trip is designed to showcase the very best of the land down under.

Our Australia expert Otti says: “What makes Longitude 131 so special is the way it places you right at the heart of Australia’s Red Centre. Each tented pavilion faces directly towards Uluru, so you can watch the changing colours of the desert from your bed, a glass of wine in hand perhaps. Beyond the views, the lodge includes an exceptional range of guided experiences, from sunrise walks around the base of Uluru to exploring the ancient rock domes of Kata Tjuta. It’s the perfect balance of comfort, exclusivity, and adventure in one of Australia’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.”

Handpicked lodges such as Spicers Sangoma Retreat and Longitude 131 take you right to the heart of each destination. Their prime locations allow you to truly immerse yourself in the landscapes, while world-class service, design, and cuisine make every stay unforgettable. This is Australia’s most famous scenery experienced in absolute style, a journey where extraordinary surroundings meet exceptional hospitality.
