Sails in the Desert

Ayers Rock

‘Aussie treasure within a larger luxury complex – an amazing choice’

Sails in the Desert is the premier hotel located within the impressive Ayers Rock Resort, named after the white sails which crown its roof. This splendid establishment is adorned with Aboriginal heritage and culture features a gallery in its lobby area where you can purchase some amazing mementos. The resort forms part of the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park which features the two sites of Uluru (or Ayers Rock) and the red domes of Kata Tjuta. This is the perfect holiday destination for the culturally aware traveller eager to discover the important facets of Australia’s history. 

 


‘This is the perfect place to stay for those wanting to visit Ayers Rock but not compromise on the facilities they will experience in resort. A wide range of dining options make this a feasible location for families – but with very few designated amenities to keep young children happy’
