ELEGANT TRAVELLER

Longitude 131° Blogs

Now part of the prestigious Baillie's Lodges collection, Longitude 131°, a luxury desert camp in the heart of Australia's 'Red Centre', has recently received a stunning enhancement programme. The wilderness retreat offers fifteen elevated luxury guests tents, which now boast the addition of stylish balconies for contemporary outdoor living and unrivalled views of Uluru. Styled with expansive day beds, armchairs and EcoSmart fireplaces, guests can immerse themselves in the striking desert landscape, unfurl a luxury swag (traditional Australian bushman's bedroll) at night and sleep beneath a blanket of southern stars. Alternatively, there is a decadent evening service where guests can simply enjoy port, Cognac and digestifs by firelight.

An eco-sensitive resort, every tent overlooks the splendid outback and iconic Uluru, otherwise known as Ayers Rock, and each morning guests can watch the sun rise and colour Uluru throughout the day. Come evening, guests can drift off in the silence of the desert under constellations brimming with tales of Anangu Aboriginal culture. With insightful cultural treks and vibrant local Aboriginal art work, guests can take the road less travelled and immerse themselves in the mystery of this uniquely powerful and spiritual place - an elevated outback experience in all respects.
