Fresh from an extensive multi-million-pound renovation, Australia’s
has reopened, reaffirming its status as the premier destination for ultra-luxury outback escapes.
Nestled on the doorstep of the legendary and sacred Uluru, Longitude 131° continues to attract discerning travelers and world-famous guests, including Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales. Pippa Middleton and James Matthews also selected this exceptional retreat for their honeymoon, underscoring its global reputation.
Guided by the acclaimed architect Max Pritchard, this esteemed property—now over 20 years old—has been reimagined with a suite of new enhancements: a holistic spa, contemporary bar, resort-style pool, and an exclusive two-bedroom private pavilion.
The Dune Pavilion, Longitude’s signature accommodation, showcases panoramic glass walls, vibrant indigenous artworks, and custom interiors inspired by the heritage homesteads of Australia’s Red Centre.
Outdoors, the expanded private deck includes a secluded plunge pool with breathtaking vistas of two UNESCO World Heritage marvels: the majestic Uluru and the enigmatic domes of Kata Tjuta.
At the heart of the property, the revitalized Dune House now features a sophisticated bar, elegant lounge, refined restaurant, and an alfresco terrace—perfectly complementing the lodge’s 15 luxurious tented suites, each recently upgraded with expansive verandas and eco-friendly fireplace features.
From the elevated Dune Top, guests are treated to a glamorous open-air setting
with sweeping views of the ancient landscape
—the ideal locale for sunset cocktails and gourmet canapés. The area also boasts a designer swimming pool, plush daybeds, and a chic self-service refreshment bar for ultimate relaxation.
The newly introduced Kinara Spa—named after the Pitjantjatjara word for ‘moon’—offers two serene treatment sanctuaries and an indulgent menu featuring the acclaimed Australian LI’TYA spa collection and locally harvested botanicals such as Salted Emu Bush.
Recognizing Uluru’s profound cultural significance to the Anangu people, Longitude 131° is steadfast in its commitment to sustainability and cultural respect. Initiatives include eco-sensitive operations and immersive guest programs that share the stories, traditions, and wisdom of the land’s traditional custodians.
