Longitude 131
Yulara, Australia

Experience Australia's legendary "red center" up close at Longitude 131, a luxurious tented camp perched on the edge of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

The accommodations: A white dome roof and flowing draped fabric creates the illusion of a tent in each cabin, but you definitely won't be roughing it. These air-conditioned rooms have all-glass windows so it's easy to admire the outback without sweating it out.

The food: Buffet-style breakfasts and tasting plate lunches are served daily. At night, eat under the stars with your fellow "glampers," or arrange an intimate dinner for two.

Outdoor activities: Head to the majestic domes of Kata Tjuta, watch the sun rise in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and view cave paintings at Mutitjulu Waterhole.
