LONGITUDE 131˚, ULURU-KATA TJUTA

Stealing away for a few days at this show-stopping accommodation in the heart of the Red Centre might just make for the ultimate short break. As well as a restaurant, bar, swimming pool and on-site spa, Longitude 131˚ features 16 luxury tents that gather on the red-rust landscape as if around a campfire.These abodes echo the environment in their design and showcase vibrant ceramics, paintings and weavings by artists in the nearby Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. From bed, or luxe swag on the balcony, gaze out to Uluru or across the desert to KataTjuta; from the premium Dune Pavilion you can see both. As far as basecamps go for exploring the cultural and natural landscape of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, it’s hard to beat. longitude131.com.au
