Northern Territory borders re-open on 17 July 2020, and the re-introduction of Jetstar flights direct from Sydney and Melbourne, Australia’s largest integrated resort, Ayers Rock Resort (ARR) will re-open on Saturday, 1 August, 2020.
Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia took advantage of the enforced closure to bring forward the completion of an extensive $50M refurbishment of Ayers Rock Resort and improvements to the airport infrastructure. This encompasses extensive upgrades at the five-star Sails in the Desert including all guest rooms and suites, the lobby, pool and restaurant; completion of upgrades to The Lost Camel, and the replacement of toilet blocks and bathrooms in the popular Campground. Upgrades to the airport infrastructure include new screening areas making it easier for guests to clear security and start their holidays.

“We are looking forward to welcoming guests back to the spiritual heart of our country and showcasing the work we have done at the resort in their absence” said Voyages CEO Grant Hunt. “This is the perfect time for Australians to get out and explore our amazing landscapes including the vast central desert, iconic Uluru and Kata-Tjuta as well as experiencing the important Indigenous cultural stories shared by the Traditional Owners of our land.”
To celebrate the resort’s re-opening, Voyages will extend special offers for stays of 2, 3 and 4 or more nights with discounts of up to 50%.
Special rates are available to book now for travel from August 1, 2020, including return airport transfers, in-room Wi-Fi, free guest activities and free use of the resort shuttle service. Desert Gardens Hotel and the Outback Pioneer Hotel will remain closed.
