Sails in the Desert
In the heart of Australia's Red Centre, Sails in the Desert
hotel beautifully contrasts Uluru's raw natural beauty with a decidedly premium
outback holiday experience. Soaring white sails crown Ayers Rock Resort's Sails
in the Desert hotel, shading 228 beautifully appointed rooms and suites. In a
destination where one of the world's oldest cultures still thrives, the
mystery, colour, and wisdom of the local Anangu people is interwoven into every
facet of Sails in the Desert's modern design. This hotel features an expansive
gumtree lined swimming pool and a diversity of modern dining, bar, and lounge
options. Relax and feast in the brasserie-style Ilkari Restaurant or let time
tick by as you enjoy cocktails, music and Indigenous-inspired cuisine in the
Walpa Lobby Bar or curl up on one of the daybeds and enjoy a casual lunch and
cocktail by the pool. Sails in the Desert's stunning Mulgara Gallery takes you
on an exploration through the unique styles and breathtaking stories of
Indigenous art. Find each of your senses lulled into complete relaxation as you
give in to one of the Red Ochre Spa's treatments.
