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.

What a beautiful hotel with great design and art features. Attention to design and detail was amazing. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and looked after very well. The grounds and the pools were stunning and very well maintained. We had a garden suite which was amazing and the housekeeping was superb. Cleanliness was off the scale and the beds were comfy. We had a changing room, beautiful bathroom and terrace with day bed and bath. They have a handy app for your phone with your room info and ordering service which is a great touch.The breakfasts were lovely and all tastes catered for. We ate in the restaurants a couple of time and the food was good. We did not try Black Ginger as we ate out at the beach restaurants and whilst out on trips. Spa was beautiful - treat yourself - therapist are fantastic. I love my head massage with oil but some of our party said the massages off site were better and cheaper. The Slate is a great base for day trips and there is also a fun mall to do some shopping a short taxi ride away. Use Grab as a way to get around - it’s UBER in Thailand and the fares are really reasonable - better than private transfers. Why only 4 stars? Firstly it is 5 star luxury but a couple of things just didn’t sit well with us. The main dining area was not cleaned that well for a couple of days. I sat at a table where something sticky had clearly been spilled - flip flops sticking to the floor. Still like it the next morning and asked to be moved. Food was good BUT not reflected by the cost. We do not mind paying but they put the price excluding the tax and service which is 17% on top. We would rather have seen that cost upfront. The restaurants by the beach felt far better value for money. We had read that the lack of air conditioned spaces was also a bit of an issue and I do feel that 1 bar with that would have provided a nice respite as the only area for that was our room which was beautiful. We loved it and thank you and we would return. Read less

My husband and i have been wanting to stay at 'The Slate' for a few years now but other plans kept getting in the way. In May this year the opportunity arose - unfortunately we could only enjoy 1 night but we are so glad we did. From the moment we arrived we were warmly greeted and were shown straight to our room - wow! We were more than delighted and the 'first impression' factor blew us away. What a classy room - exceeding our expectations! The smell of our room had an instant effect on us - so much so we purchased the burning oil (Champaka) at the giftshop. Our home now smells like The Slate. We love it! Our room was close to the reception with a balcony, over-looking the inner sanctum garden areas of the Hotel and the breakfast restaurant, the perfect mix of modern elegance and nature (a wonderful lilypad covered pond running through the hotels inner garden area! We are not really arty people but the art displayed throughout the hotel even engaged our appreciation. Breakfast was more than satisfactory with multiple options of everything (this is important to my husband and he was impressed at the variety and quality). It was slightly too hot at breakfast for us to eat so much, but we loved the buffet spread and there was a lot of choice of all high-quality goods to choose from. A real nice surprise was how accessible the beach area and village/street was, straight outside the back gate from the hotel grounds. That was wonderful - making the location of this property even better if you're up to going out. Every single staff member that we engaged with was attentive and professional. It's great to see that all of the staff seemed happy! All in all a really amazing experience and we will definitely be returning for longer in the future. Highly recommend 'The Slate' The only negative was that the pools were a bit too warm and not quite refreshing, and the atmosphere around the adults pool was very stale, which could be fixed with some background music.

It's the little things that set the Slate apart from the rest. This is the third time that we have visited the Slate, and everytime it is simply amazing. The staff here make certain that you are looked after, the food is always incredidle, the grounds and surrounds are first class. It is a big hotel, that has the feel of a small boutique hotel. The seemless checkin process, leads into being shown to your beautifully appointed room. The pools are beautiful, and the staff always offer water and chilled fruits on a regular basis. No visit to the Slate is complete without a dinner at Black Ginger. the food is incredidle. We had the seven courde Black Ginger Experience, and I don't think we left anything on our plates, it was simply exquisite. Breakfast at the Tin Mine is always fun, even on a wet day, the chance to sit back, enjoying the amazing variety is such a treat. This was our third visit in the last four years, and I can safely say, that there will be a fourth and more. Thank you to the Slate for another incredible experience. Read less
