About the hotel

A mirage of iconic white sail-shaped awnings signals your arrival at the five-star Sails in the Desert, where mighty Uluṟu and the Red Centre’s soul-stirring landscape serves as an unforgettable backdrop. A member of the renowned Pullman Hotels collection, this unique hotel interweaves the magic and breathtaking beauty of the outback into every aspect of its design. Offering a wealth of unmissable experiences as vast as the desert it crowns, this iconic outback oasis is your launchpad for delving deep into Australia’s roots.

Listen to stories of Aboriginal culture during a ‘Bush Yarns’ session, immerse yourself in the enchanting sounds of the didgeridoo with a workshop, or take a guided garden walk highlighting the seasonal local flora, bush foods and trees native to Australia and the medicines traditionally used. Watch as darkness transforms into a bloom of soft light and colour at the renowned Field of Light Uluṟu installation by artist Bruce Munro (additional charges apply) or escape the crowds on a desert awakening and find a secluded sand dune to watch the sun roll above Uluṟu — an unforgettable moment etched in your memory for years to come. In between experiences, retreat from the heat with a dip in the gumtree-lined pool or linger over unique Australian flavours at one of the resort’s exceptional restaurants.
