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.

This is the 2nd time our family from NZ and UK met here. There are 14 of us ranging from 7 to 79. Again, we have left with beautiful memories of sharing this time together in this amazing resort.

This is the 2nd time our family from NZ and UK met here. There are 14 of us ranging from 7 to 79. Again, we have left with beautiful memories of sharing this time together in this amazing resort. From starting our days in the Tin Mine with the huge array of breakfast options, to time at the various pools. The kids loved the activities on site and also chose a few kids programme options, such as sushi making. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel is run exceptionally well and there is easy access to many places to eat on the beach, which is right outside the back gate. We used The Slate's paddleboards and kayaks some days and had so much fun. Read less

This is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. The rooms and design of the whole place is stunning. My daughter became poorly whilst we were there and the staff sent her flowers and a ‘get well card’ to our room. So thoughtful. Every single member of staff we came across (and if felt like there are hundreds) were polite, friendly and… Read more
This is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. The rooms and design of the whole place is stunning. My daughter became poorly whilst we were there and the staff sent her flowers and a ‘get well card’ to our room. So thoughtful. Every single member of staff we came across (and if felt like there are hundreds) were polite, friendly and helpful. Pool bar staff, housekeeping and reception go above and beyond. The setting and service in Black Ginger restaurant is incredible. We had a Pearl suite room and it was stunning. Air con in room went off now and again in the night, but the ceiling fan works well as a back up and Maintenance came to sort the air con quickly enough. We had to move rooms after a few nights because our neighbours were too loud but it was all very efficient. All other hotels have now been ruined for us as we’re already saying ‘it’s not the same as The Slate’. Would love to return one day. Read less

Close to the airport this property is perfect for a few days to rest and recharge either before a trip further into Thailand, or at the conclusion. We had a D-buk suite which is perfect for a small family. The whole property is just lovely, very serene and tropical. Everything is beautifully designed and maintained.

The day spa is also a lovely experience and there are some lovely pools to choose from, although only one child friendly option. Our family loved our stay here Read less

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.
