Ayers Rock Resort
Regardless of where you stay while you're at Voyages Ayers Rock Resort, you can experience the beauty of the living cultural landscape of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, in Australia's Northern Territory. Given its remote location, a sanctuary of hotels is not what you would expect to find here in the outback.
Operating a Resort in the Desert
In the middle of the desert on one of the flattest, driest and least populated continents on earth - second only to Antarctica on all three counts, lies Ayers Rock Resort. Nestled in the desert like a giant mythical snake and hidden below the level of the highest sand dune, everything about the Resort reflects sensitivity to the environment and respect for the area’s traditional owners.
History & Facts
Archaelogical work in Cleland Hills, north of Uluru, in 1987 suggests that Aboriginal people were living in this region at least 22,000 years ago, while work in the MacDonnell Ranges in 1994 suggests habitation in Central Australia dates back 30,000 years.
Tjintu Solar Field
TJINTU meaning ‘sun’ in local Pitjantjatjara, demonstrates Voyages’ commitment to sustainability through efficiently using resources such as the sun rather than fossil fuels, minimising waste and pollution.
