After collecting your luggage, simply follow the courtesy hotel transfers signs. Locate the AAT Kings coach displaying your resort name and hop on board. Your driver will then deliver you directly to your accommodation, just a short 10-minute journey away. 

Welcome to Ayers Rock Resort, your gateway to the spiritual heart of Australia. Surrounded by the striking beauty of Uluru, the resort offers an unforgettable stay with a selection of Complimentary Experiences designed to enrich your journey and connect you to this remarkable landscape.

Your evening begins with a transfer to a remote desert location, offering majestic views of Uluru as the sun sets. Enjoy gourmet canapés and chilled sparkling wine accompanied by the sound of a didgeridoo. As darkness falls and the 50,000 glass spheres of Bruce Munro’s Field of Light gently illuminate the desert, take your seat for a three-course bush-tucker-inspired buffet, perfectly paired with premium Australian wines. After dinner, explore the softly glowing pathways of the installation and learn from your host about its story and inspiration. Finally, settle beneath the southern night sky for a star talk, decoding the constellations and the wonders of the outback.

Revel in the early morning serenity of a truly spiritual place as the sunrise colours change on Kata Tjuta. Enjoy a picnic breakfast overlooking this Central Australian icon. Learn about this diverse environment whilst walking between the mighty conglomerate rock walls into Walpa Gorge and hearing how the 36 domes that makeup Kata Tjuta have evolved over millions of years. Take time to listen to the wind (Walpa) far above and view the scale of the rock walls that surround you. The spirituality of this amazing location embraces everyone who ventures here.

Perched on a secluded sand dune with breathtaking views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park, the Wintjiri Wiru Sunset Dinner is a truly immersive outback experience. Begin your evening with cocktails infused with native ingredients and canapés as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the desert in rich hues. Then enjoy a gourmet hamper-style dinner, thoughtfully crafted from native Australian produce and paired with premium wines. As darkness falls, the desert comes alive with an extraordinary display of drones, lasers, and projections, accompanied by a traditional Inma soundtrack, telling the ancient Mala story of the Anangu people. Combining world-class cuisine, cultural storytelling, and the awe-inspiring desert landscape, this exclusive experience creates an unforgettable evening under the Southern Desert sky.

Get a sense of the remoteness of outback Australia as you travel to Kings Canyon. Located in the heart of Watarrka National Park, it lies in an ancient Australian landscape that is sacred ground for the Ulpanyali and Lilla people. Enjoy a cooked breakfast at Kings Creek Station before arriving at Kings Canyon where you will walk The Rim Walk, a once-in-a-lifetime experience and educational opportunity to learn about the history and geology of the land. The climb up a 100-metre cliff face reveals views of sandstone walls, grottos, chasms, and cliffs. For a more leisurely experience, take a 2km walk with your driver guide which takes you along the creek bed and reveals impressive views of the canyon rim. Creek Walk travellers may choose to enjoy a scenic helicopter flight over the canyon before the group travels to Kings Canyon Resort for lunch and a swim.

Sunrise Journeys is an intimate and sensory travel experience designed to last well beyond your stay. As the desert awakens, witness the landscapes around Uluru and Kata Tjuta come to life through light, sound, and storytelling. The experience features the artwork Ngura nganampa wiru mulapa (“our Country is truly beautiful”) projected across the desert floor, accompanied by a rich soundscape and narration sharing Indigenous stories of land, culture, and time. Conclude with a breakfast inspired by native flavours, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Red Centre. This unforgettable experience blends culture, cuisine, and the natural beauty of the outback, leaving a lasting impression.
