The hotel

Inspired by Phuket’s rich cultural and industrial history, The Slate, Phuket is an exotic oasis of calm, set just behind the secluded Nai Yang beach. Designed with the inspiration of the local tin-mining industry, local artwork, natural materials and luxury facilities will ensure you’ll have everything for a stay that is both authentic and indulgent. Close to some of Phuket’s finest beaches, The Slate has beautiful tropical gardens and a backdrop of dense rainforest for that true Thai experience. The accommodation is divided into villas and pool suites, each combining luxury, authenticity, comfort and convenience, to make sure you get the best possible night's sleep. At Black Ginger, The Slate's magnificent floating restaurant, you can experience the subtle, sensuous flavours of Phuket whilst marvelling at the beauty of your spectacular surroundings. The black interior, shot through with accents of brilliant blue from the chandeliers, creates the perfect backdrop for sampling some of Thailand's most innovative culinary delights. For pre and post-dinner drinks, there's open air lounge bar Rebar, where you can relax with a cocktail as you soak up the sun. If you're looking for the ultimate luxury pampering experience, The Slate's Coqoon Spa is the place to go. Devoted exclusively to wellness and indulgence, the spa features luxurious double treatment rooms, a private swimming pool, steam showers, a sauna and a Jacuzzi.

We had a perfect weekend at The Slate. I would particularly like to thank Reen who looked after our every need during the stay. From finding our ideal room set up with extra beds for the kids , arranging restaurant bookings for our large family and always with a smile and lovely manner. The hotel is fantastic. Very unique and the service is superb.

We had an amazing stay a The Slate Phuket. The entire resort is beautiful, very well thought out and had a very exclusive feel to it whilst still being so relaxing. The staff are all so lovely and thoughtful. Ian at the snakeskin pool bar is a great guy and greeted us by name everyday even when we were just walking past the pool. We also had Thai fusion massage treatments which was a nice treat and we both came out of there feeling on top of the world. Our room overlooking snakeskin pool felt very luxurious with the bath out on the balcony. We took advantage of the gym, paddle boards and tennis courts. During our stay we ate at Rivet, Black Ginger and Tin Mine and well as the Snakeskin pool bar. Every meal was prepared with care, and catered to my vegetarian needs. The raft over to Back Ginger made it an extra special experience. The breakfast in Tin Mine was great, with a huge selection to suit everybody. The only improvement we felt could be made was to introduce evening entertainment as the evenings felt very quiet. We did play snooker & pool in the sports bar but that seemed to be the only place with people in it after about 10pm. We loved our stay though and have already recommended you to anyone we’ve spoken to since we’ve been home. Unfortunately we were only there for 3 nights but even on our very first day there we were already talking about coming back again in the future. Read less

From the warm welcome to the friendly smiles, amazing food, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and 5-star Spa, it really doesn't get any better than The Slate. On-site pools, bars and restaurants provided a welcome relief from the bustle of Phuket and heat if the beach. Staff were so welcoming that leaving was all the more difficult!
