Sails in the Desert

Yulara


The rooms seem overpriced at the resort's flagship hotel, but they're still the most upmarket choice in Yulara. There's a lovely pool and surrounding lawn shaded by sails and trees. There are also tennis courts, several restaurants, a health spa and a piano bar. The best rooms have balcony views of Uluru – request one when you make a booking.
