Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia

From the sanctuary of the hotel to the open spaces of the campground, no matter where you stay at Ayers Rock Resort, you’ll experience the true beauty of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory.

Ayers Rock Resort allows you to immerse yourself in the timeless landscape of one of the world’s most beautiful natural wonders. Nestled behind spectacular sand dunes, the Resort itself lies hidden from the rest of the national park. With over 65 tours, local activities and attractions within The Resort and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, you won't be short of adventure.

You can ride a camel across the desert dunes, hop on a Harley or take a base walk of Uluru (Ayers Rock) to name just a few. A visit to the Red Ochre Spa is the perfect way to relax in this timeless environment. A stroll through the renowned Mulgara Gallery is also highly recommended.

By night, dine under a canopy of stars at the award-winning Sounds of Silence buffet BBQ dinner, or visit the Field of Light art installation, where more than 50,000 stems crowned with frosted-glass spheres bloom as darkness falls over Australia’s spiritual heartland.

This oasis provides a variety of accommodation options for every possible taste and budget – from the 5 star Sails in the Desert Hotel and the comfortable Desert Gardens Hotel, to the self-contained Emu Walk Apartments, the authentic Outback Pioneer Hotel and the Ayers Rock Resort Campground.
