Overnight in the Desert: The Best Desert Hotels in the World

Longitude 131 – Yulara, Australia

Set in the rolling red hills of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the Longitude 131 resort is made up of large airy tents that house different gathering and sleeping spaces.

While you’re there, the resort offers plenty of options for custom tours – take a bike or even a helicopter into the desert, then get dropped off right outside your bedroom door. The suites start around $1,060, but you can also rent the luxurious Dune Pavilion, a larger, private suite for around $1,800 per night.
