Longitude 131

What Longitude 131 does

Longitude 131° is an ultra-luxury wilderness camp operated by Luxury Lodges US Holdings, LLC (a Delaware entity) at Yulara in Australia's Northern Territory, adjacent to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The physical product comprises 16 luxury tented pavilions plus a single Dune Pavilion, the latter being the only accommodation with views to both World Heritage-listed Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Each tent features climate control, a bespoke Baillie Bed, a gourmet-stocked in-tent bar, and complimentary WiFi. The signature asset is Bruce Munro's Field of Light installation — 50,000 solar-powered frosted-glass spheres in the Uluru foreground, the largest recreation of the artwork worldwide. Dining is delivered through the Dune House Restaurant (contemporary Australian cuisine with native bush ingredients such as quandong, lemon myrtle, pepperberry and wattle seed, sourced on an Anangu seasonal calendar) plus Table 131° open-air dining and four Dune Top private dining pods.

The business runs an all-inclusive tariff model: per-night packages at undisclosed rates typically bundle breakfast, lunch, dinner, an open bar with French Champagne and premium spirits, signature experiences (Uluru Sunset, Field of Light, Kata Tjuta walks, Mutitjulu Waterhole), and Ayers Rock Airport transfers. Signature Packages are tiered into 4+ night (Signature Longitude), 3-night (Classic Longitude) and shorter (Beckons Escape) configurations. Ancillary revenue streams include the Cellarmasters premium wine list, Spa Kinara treatments (Aboriginal-inspired massage and irmangka-irmangka 'moon' therapy), and Dune Top private dining. Distribution combines direct sales through a dedicated Beckons Reservations team (phone, AEST business hours), a TravelClick online booking engine, and luxury travel trade intermediaries; the property does not accept walk-ins.

The asset sits inside the Beckons brand, formed in 2024 from the unification of Baillie Lodges and Tierra Hotels, which controls a portfolio of eight wholly-owned luxury lodges across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Chile (Capella, Silky Oaks, Southern Ocean Lodge, The Louise, Huka Lodge, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, Tierra Atacama, Tierra Patagonia). Longitude 131° maintains longstanding partnerships with four Indigenous art centers — Ernabella Arts, Tjala Arts, Maruku Arts and Tjanpi Desert Weavers — including recurring artists-in-residence programming and a $100,000 commitment to Ernabella Arts for a ceramics technician. Recognition includes Two MICHELIN Keys (October 2025), Tatler Best Hotels Asia-Pacific 2025, Fodor's Finest 2026, Australia's Leading Lodge (World Travel Awards 2024), and inclusion in Robb Report's Top 10 Greatest Luxury Hotels on Earth.
