Discovery Kings Canyon Resort is located in a loop off the main highway running between Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Alice Springs. The sensitively designed resort is just seven kilometres from Watarrka National Park, the home of the magical sandstone formation of Kings Canyon. It is the perfect oasis from which to explore the natural wonders of Kings Canyon. While great lengths have been taken to ensure that this resort has minimal impact on its surroundings, a deluxe spa room, a standard room or the intimacy of a campsite, all offer you sanctuary from the rugged desert night.
