Longitude 131°: Luxury at the Heart of the Australian Outback

Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Uluru, Longitude 131° is Australia’s most celebrated luxury desert camp. Owned and operated by Baillie Lodges, this iconic property blends contemporary design with the raw beauty of the Red Centre, offering guests an experience unlike anywhere else in the world.

Outdoor Living Reimagined

Each of Longitude 131°’s 15 luxury tents features its own private balcony, creating a contemporary outdoor living space with uninterrupted views of Uluru. Styled with expansive day beds, armchairs and EcoSmart fireplaces, these outdoor areas invite guests to relax under the desert sky in complete comfort.

A standout feature is the bespoke luxury swag for two, a stylish reinvention of the traditional Australian bushman’s bedroll. Unfurled at nightfall beside the fireplace, it gives guests the option to sleep beneath a blanket of southern stars while enjoying the retreat’s signature style and comfort. The experience is completed with an indulgent evening service, where guests are served port, Cognac and other fine digestifs by firelight.

A Legacy of Refined Design

Since taking over Longitude 131° in 2013, Baillie Lodges has invested significantly in the property, introducing designer furnishings, Indigenous artworks and the group’s signature “Baillie Bed.” These outdoor enhancements build on that legacy, removing any barrier between guests and the landscape at Australia’s spiritual heart.
