After decades of controversy, come November 2019, the endearing icon of Outback Australia will be permanently closed to climbers. Uluru, a massive sandstone monolith, has long been revered by the Aboriginals who welcome the decision with euphoria.

For visitors who have yet to make a pilgrimage to Uluru, here’s a way to see it in style and comfort. A stay at the glamorous wilderness camp Longitude 131° offers a spiritual experience in the desert landscape of the Outback. With just 15-tented pavilions, expect unparalleled privacy and exclusivity like no other. Contemporary and stylish interiors with floor to ceiling windows boast incredible views of the Uluru rock, while guests enjoy the changing lights reflected off the rock’s face as the sun dips below the horizon.
