At Longitude 131°, you will experience one of Australia's most sought-after lodges, staying as close to Uluru as possible.
Location:
Longitude 131° sits on privately owned land just outside Uluru‑Kata Tjuta National Park, in Australia's Northern Territory. Located near the resort town of Yulara, the lodge offers uninterrupted views of the iconic Uluru and shares the cultural and environmental setting of the dual World Heritage‑listed landscape.

The lodge comprises fifteen elevated luxury tents, each positioned to float above the red desert dunes. Guests wake to panoramic views of Uluru through floor‑to‑ceiling glazing. The tents are individually themed, with bespoke furniture and Indigenous artwork. A separate option, the Dune Pavilion, sleeps up to four and features a private plunge pool, separate living and sleeping spaces, as well as sweeping desert views.
Amenities:
Central to the lodge is the Dune House, hosting a communal lounge, library, boutique, dining room and self‑service bar stocked with Australian wines and spirits. Both the pool and deck offer direct views to Uluru. Furthermore, the onsite Spa Kinara offers Indigenous‑inspired treatments for hotel guests to enjoy.
Activities:
Included with your stay are signature experiences such as guided Uluru sunrise walks, visits to Kata Tjuta, bush tucker walks, stargazing and dining beneath the desert sky. Optional extras include helicopter flights, camel rides, Harley Davidson tours, private guided 4×4 adventures and bespoke cultural tours with Anangu guides.
Sustainability:
Longitude 131° operates with a robust Environmental Management Plan accredited by EcoCert (Ecotourism Australia).
