Hand-Picked Hotel

Sails in the Desert

    Set within the confines of Ayers Rock Resort, Sails in the Desert presents 288 guest rooms and suites all of which include their own private outdoor space. It’s the perfect place to kick back and relax in Australia’s red centre whilst shaded under soaring white canopies. Thanks to the location, close to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, this is where folk head for gumtree bordered swimming pools, Red Ochre Spa treatments and excursions in and around the world-famous rock. You’ll also find the brasserie-style Ilkari restaurant, on-site, alongside indigenous-inspired cuisine served at the Walpa lobby lounge. From free bus transfers around the resort’s restaurants and cafes to local artwork at the Mulgara Gallery and cocktails by the pool – if you’re looking to experience Uluru, in style, Sails in the Desert gives you every opportunity to do that, and then some.
