Longitude 131°
Uluru-Kata Tjuta, Northern Territory, Australia
PERSONALITIES
Stargazers. Story seekers. Conscious luxury travelers. Landscape photographers. Indigenous culture enthusiasts. Couples chasing silence and red horizons.
MOMENTS
Waking to the glow of Uluru at dawn. Sunset drinks with Kata Tjuta on the horizon. Lying under a blanket of stars. Immersive walks guided by Anangu traditional owners. A campfire dinner with ancient stories in the air.
BEST VISITING MONTHS
Longitude 131° is open year-round, but the cooler, drier months from April to October offer the most comfortable desert experience.
April–June: Mild days and crisp evenings—ideal for hiking and cultural tours. Wildflowers bloom after early autumn rains.
July–August: Clear skies, cool nights, and endless stars. The desert at its most cinematic.
September–October: Warmer days return, but the desert remains gentle and golden. Fewer crowds, more stillness.

WHY STAY
Longitude 131° isn’t just near Uluru—it’s part of its story. This luxury desert camp is set within the dual World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, where cultural and natural significance are inseparable. With just sixteen tented pavilions raised on stilts above red sand, the camp offers uninterrupted views of Uluru’s monolithic form from bed, bath, or private deck.
Each pavilion is a blend of outback honesty and quiet opulence: floor-to-ceiling windows, raw timber, organic textures, and Indigenous art. Interiors reflect both the spirit of the land and the deep cultural legacy of the Anangu people. Sustainability is not a gesture here—it’s a foundation.
WHY WANDER
Wander on foot through ancient desert landscapes guided by Indigenous elders. Learn the stories etched into rock and woven into the land. Explore the domes of Kata Tjuta, take a camel ride at dusk, or soar above it all on a scenic flight.
Back at camp, connect through curated experiences—Desert Awakenings, Table 131° dining under the stars, or quiet time at the Dune House library. This is not about ticking off sights—it’s about listening to land that has held knowledge for over 60,000 years.
INDULGE IN
Modern Australian cuisine infused with native ingredients: saltbush, bush tomato, wattleseed, and lemon myrtle. Dine with Uluru in full view or enjoy a private meal under the stars. The open bar features wines from small Australian producers and spirits infused with local botanicals.
GETTING THERE
Fly into Ayers Rock (Connellan) Airport, where Longitude 131° provides complimentary transfers just 15 minutes to camp. Despite its remoteness, the arrival is effortless—and the sense of awe begins the moment you land.
WILD INITIATIVES
Longitude 131° operates with a deep respect for place. The camp is fully solar-powered, with an advanced waste management system and zero single-use plastics. Its design minimizes impact while maximizing views. The team works closely with local Anangu communities, supporting Indigenous enterprise, art, and cultural exchange.
