Perch in the Dunes: Longitude 131, Australia

Longitude 131, one of the most beautiful hotels, offers a fantastic view of the Uluru/Ayers Rock. The hotel features many dune tops with scenic aerial views of the environs, especially during sunsets and sunrises. Guests can sample Aboriginal art just a couple of miles away in the town of Yulara or merely opt to watch the artists from afar.

The glamping experience is exquisite, and guests have been known to perch upon the treehouse-like double rooms with great abandon. There’s also a spa at the focal Dune Pavillion where guests can have a bit in the dining room, access the library, and imbibe at the bar.

Guests residing at Longitude 131 can go out and bout into the wild in groups. During the excursions, they check out a nearby watering hole, hike Kata Tjuta, and tour Uluru during sunset hours. The Ernabella Arts center is also not too far off from where the hotel is found. Guests can maintain contact with the happenings of the outside world thanks to the strong Wi-Fi presence.

Jonathon Bryant, the Chef, is said to source his cooking ingredients from various parts of Australia. Remarkably, the hotel’s staff make a point of noting everyone’s preferences and intolerances to create a personalized menu. Rooms from $1,593.
