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.

Love it!

We love The Slate. It’s fabulous. Great rooms. Great pools, great restaurants and bars, great staff, lovely spacious grounds, fantastic design and decor at every turn. Also the best smelling hotel in the world! We love Nai Yang beach too. Not too busy and not too quiet (albeit a lot busier than 10 years ago!)
One disappointment is that the family…

Also the best smelling hotel in the world! We love Nai Yang beach too. Not too busy and not too quiet (albeit a lot busier than 10 years ago!)
One disappointment is that the family didn’t have enough loungers. In a hotel of this standard you should not have to worry about getting a spot by the pool. The two adults only pools were so quiet while family pool had groups of 4 or more were sharing a pair of loungers.
Next time our kids will be old enough and we can enjoy the other pools.

How can they do 5-star at this price?

I find it hard to imagine how anyone could rate The Slate less than 5 stars. My partner and I stayed in an entry-level Pearl Bed suite, and it was amazing, especially since we got it at a seemingly bargain price in the low season.

I find it hard to imagine how anyone could rate The Slate less than 5 stars. My partner and I stayed in an entry-level Pearl Bed suite, and it was amazing, especially since we got it at a seemingly bargain price in the low season. Even then, the place was busy, especially with families. You should dine at Black Ginger at least once just for the experience and be sure to enjoy an expert massage at the in-house COQOON SPA.
If I had to nit-pick, I would say the single coffee machine in the Tin Mine dining room was inadequate at busy times and I was a bit sorry our big deep bathtub was out on the balcony in full view of the neighbours. That said, there would be few reasons to complain about anything.
The location is super convenient to the airport, and there is a beautiful park to stroll in and lots of street food options if you want to get out and experience something local.
Great for families, couples, weddings or meetings.

Another fantastic stay at The Slate! I can’t recommend this hotel more highly! The amazing rooms, food and service always outstanding! We always stay here when landing in Phuket as very close to the airport and provides an amazing start to our annual Thailand holiday!

Having stayed at The Slate previously it was so amazing that my daughter and her husband chose this as their wedding venue. The week was out of this world. The Slate at a hotel did not disappoint with excellent amenities and efficient staff providing quality throughout. The wedding itself was magical. It was the perfect day from the flowers to the waiters to the food and so much more. Just paradise. Thank you for making this such a special occasion.

Amazing hotel
Aug 27, 2025itcwinner26Chester
Superb five star experience. The hotel and ground are beautiful and very well maintained. Lovely pools, amazing staff and great inclusions in the rate. Special mention to Nim (who helped with our room) and Jo and Jik in the spa where we had a massage. Spa facilities and staff were amazing. Very easy access to the beach.
Love it!
