The outback is at its most involving, its most scenic and its most other-worldly in the Red Centre. The monumental, sacred rock of Uluru erupts from the baked red earth to form the most awesome focal point for hundreds of miles around. Meanwhile, the vast, time-eroded landscape of Kata Tjuta National Park also beckons to the explorer in you.

And then there is Sails in the Desert. Make this outstanding resort part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Australia and you’ll be staying in one of the country’s coolest hotels. But you’ll also be surrounded by the mystery, colour and wisdom of the local Anangu people. Many aspects of Sails in the Desert reflect their ancient art, their lifestyle and their adaptation to an extraordinary environment.
