The Ayers Rock Resort lies at the gateway to Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park, in Australia's Northern Territory. Given its remote location, a resort of world class standards is possibly something you might not have expected to find here in the Outback. Ayers Rock Resort is all that and more.

Nestled behind sand dunes, Ayers Rock Resort lies hidden from view to those visiting the National Park. Indeed, everything about the Resort reflects sensitivity to the environment and respect for the area’s traditional Aboriginal owners. Huge sails provide shade, solar panels generate power, native trees flourish throughout - it’s an outstanding architectural achievement.
