Recent coverage in Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore explores Australia’s growing appeal as a destination for immersive, place-led luxury travel – from thermal springs and private reef encounters to remote desert escapes. Longitude 131° is featured, described as offering “a direct, uninterrupted view of one of Australia’s most significant landscapes.”
Set on the edge of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Longitude 131° was highlighted for its “quietly immersive” approach to luxury, where experiences are shaped by landscape, culture and connection to Country. Harper’s BAZAAR notes that the tented pavilions provide “fully unobstructed views of the monolith,” allowing guests to watch Uluru transform with the changing desert light.
Also highlighted is the exclusive Journey to the Heart experience available to guests staying at qualia. The full-day adventure takes guests by helicopter to the iconic Heart Reef before continuing to a secluded pontoon in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Described as one of Australia’s most extraordinary private experiences, the journey combines aerial access, reef immersion and complete seclusion.
The article reflects on the broader evolution of Australian luxury travel – away from spectacle and toward meaningful access and immersion. This philosophy sits at the heart of the Luxury Lodges of Australia collection, where experiences are deeply connected to environment and place.
