The National Park Stay with Australia’s Best Views of Uluṟu
Written by Sarah Royall
Taking its name from the exact geolocation of the camp, Longitude 131° has the most amazing views of Uluru in the Australian outback. Salty Luxe, aka Sarah Royall, checks in.
Surrounded by desert, this remote camp offers a down-to-red-earth luxury experience
in the Australian outback with killer views of Uluṟu and the option of guided walks around the area. Magical experiences await including dining under the stars at Table 131° and intimate access to Bruce Monroe’s Field of Light.
The abode
Safari-style luxury glamping tents are decorated with old photographs, maps and stories of the past and have a prime spot in Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. The balcony turns into a stargazing post in the evening as the day bed is transformed into a sanctuary (we returned home from an evening under the stars to a beautiful setup featuring a comfy swag, warm fire and snacks). Connect directly with nature and sleep with your doors open to feel a gentle desert breeze and stargaze from bed.
The locale
Home of the Aṉangu people, Kata Tjuṯa National Park Park has iconic rock formations, incredible wildlife and contains the ancient wisdom of the First Nations people who live here (First Nations artwork adorns the walls, stories are told and time is spent learning about local culture).
The menu
The big event is dining under the stars at Table 131° hidden among the red dunes in a secret location. Guests are treated to a decadent four-course dinner with matched wines that celebrate seasonal bush food. The dune-top dining experience is also a must, to drink in the sunset.
The highlight
Having a coffee on the balcony as the first light hits the desert as the surrounding area comes alive with birds and a warm glow. You can watch the first rays of light hit Uluṟu to a soundtrack of singing birds. There is a feeling of immense gratitude that you have intimate access to something as special as Uluṟu.
