Spa Kinara at Longitude 131º is a set among the spinifex and the red sand of the outback offering a cool, calm retreat reflecting the clever design of a traditional Aboriginal shelter, or wiltja. Kinara means ‘moon’ in Pitjantjatjara, and offers a spiritually grounding, revitalising connection between the traditional country and the vast blue-domed sky that cloaks the landscape.

A physical and spiritual retreat, Spa Kinara aligns body and soul under the gaze of Uluru, whose mysterious natural energies radiate throughout the landscape. Guests emerge with a sense of connection and calm, reflective in the rare stillness and inspired by the outback’s boundless horizons. Each Spa Kinara treatment is a personal journey. Guests are invited to select a therapy that resonates most with their mood or desired focus, and each treatment may be tailored with the addition of a Spa Essential for a complete mind, body and soul treat. All Spa Kinara journeys commence with a traditional Aboriginal welcome ceremony.

A powerful bush medicine used by Aboriginal ngangkari or healers, irmangka-irmangka is also known as Scented Emu Bush and is used in many treatments at Spa Kinara. The general cure-all is made from the bush’s fresh leaves, mixed with olive oil to form a balm. The balm is made by the ladies in the Ngangkari Program run by the local Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Lands Women’s Council.

Spa Kinara features Australian Li’Tya spa care products. Meaning ‘of the earth’, Li’Tya embraces a series of healing rituals that combine Aboriginal massage techniques with botanical beauty essences. A signature menu of relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatments embrace the Red Centre’s surprising resource of native beauty products, from Kakadu plum, quandongs and Scented Emu Bush to desert lime, Australian yellow clay and nutrient-rich desert salts.
