Sails In The Desert, Yulara

Named after the soaring white sails that crown its roof, Sails in the Desert is Ayers Rock Resort's premier hotel. The hotel's interiors are exquisitely furnished and designed, with decor focused on Aboriginal heritage and significant artwork which is on display throughout.

The hotel offers three accommodation options. Spacious standard rooms have deluxe king or twin queen beds and include air-conditioning, whilst the Terrace Rooms have extended balconies. The Deluxe Suites are over twice the size of the Terrace Rooms and provide separate living/dining and sleeping areas, as well as balconies overlooking a garden oasis. The real star, of course, is the location, which is truly breathtaking.
