"A stay at Longitude 131 is that once in a lifetime experience only few are lucky enough to experience."

The day at Longitude 131° starts well before the sun fully rises, as adventurers prepare for tours of the famous Uluru and Kaya Tjuta sites. But fear not, as a premium caffeine fix is readily available with the finest espresso and tea leaves on hand. The grazing table is overflowing with tantalising options, like freshly baked pastries, succulent fruits, and some savory cold meats. On top of that, there's the option to indulge in an a la carte menu, featuring hot breakfast items that'll surely satisfy any craving. Egg lovers rejoice, as there's a preference for everyone! If smoked salmon with crispy potato rosti is more your vibe, they have that too. And for those who can't resist a sweet breakfast dish, try the fluffy blueberry pancakes that'll make your taste buds tingle. Whatever your mood, we are sure you will have plenty of time throughout the days adventures to work off the incredible array of breakfast indulgences included in your stay.

The resorts dining scene has two bars, one indoor and one outdoor, plus the Dune House, which serves lunch and dinner. Savouring the flavours of the Australian outback has never been so easy.

After a morning of exploring the enchanting Red Centre, lunch is served in either the Dune House or on the terrace, both offering a breathtaking view of Uluru. Fresh seafood, meats, and salads will undoubtedly satisfy your appetite. Paired with some of the best wines in the region and capped off with an indulgent dessert and coffee, this meal is the perfect way to kick-start your laid-back afternoon by the pool, on the Dune Top or, nestled safely in a luxury tent.

Dinner too is a treat, enjoyed alternately at the Dune House and Table 131° under a blanket of shimmering stars. If you're feeling extra special, bookings for private dining on the Dune Top can be arranged, where intimate pods provide a magical window to the outback world after dark. With a rich blend of culture and cuisine, be prepared to have your taste buds tantalized.

Menus here are influenced by the region's local ingredients and feature traditional Australian fare. Expect to see kangaroo and bush tucker specialities on the menu daily.

If being located at the centre of Australia's vast desert landscape wasn't enough to unwind, you won't want to miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of Spa Kinara.

The resort's spa's design is inspired by the traditional Aboriginal shelter, the wiltja, with clever touches that reflect the local environment. Kinara means 'moon' in the Pitjantjatjara language, which perfectly captures the spiritual nature of this retreat.

The spa boasts a signature menu of relaxing and rejuvenating treatments that use native beauty products sourced from the Red Centre's stunning landscapes. From Kakadu plum to desert lime and native herb extracts, each ingredient is carefully chosen to nourish and revive both body and soul. So indulge in some well-deserved self-care and let Spa Kinara transport you to a world of peace, solace, and tranquillity.
