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.

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!

What a fantastic haven of peace and tranquility in wonderful surroundings supported by excellent service and kind and hospital staff. We are currently here for 11 nights and have a great room, 3236 which caters for everything we ever asked for. We have already had several trips, food tour, elephant 🐘 sanctuary, and today luxury speed boat tour of islands including James Bond Island. Glad we have a two day break now si we can return to enjoying the hotel and grounds. We have booked the signature restaurant, The Black Ginger for tomorrow followed by The Rivet on Saturday night. We can say without any hesitation or doubt that you will not be disappointed if you every get the opportunity to stay here, back to the holiday. Read less

Since 2015 we have fallen in love again each year with the beauty, style, experiences and especially the interactions with each and every member of the team who work passionately to ensure our stay at The Slate is memorable every time. The unique traditional decor coupled with artistic design in both your room, the restaurants and bars makes The Slate the stand-out resort in Phuket to visit. The resort is cocooned within natural surroundings which makes you feel worlds away from your hectic daily lives. A walk around the grounds puts you in touch with nature in a peaceful, relaxed and tropical environment which cannot be experienced at your regular corporate hotels. The pools enable you to enjoy whichever mood you wish to be in; peaceful calm at the Snakeskin pool, musical chillout with drinks at the Pulley Pool & Bar or a family day at the Lagoon pool complete with waterfall. Choose any of these and you will experience service second to none to make sure your visit is memorable. The rooms are decorated and styled to make you really feel that you are staying in a boutique hotel. The maid and evening turndown service ensures that your room is always welcoming, inviting and provides the personal touch to keep you feeling that your experience really does matter to all at the resort. The beds and pillows really are the comfiest I have ever experienced at any hotel in the world I have stayed at. Breakfast caters for all tastes, nationalities and appetites! The selection and quality of food is excellent, with once again, service levels excellent. If you decide to use any of the restaurants, you will be blown away with the both the decor and quality of food on offer. The prices are unbelievable value when considering the level of service and how amazing the dishes not only taste but look. The resort offers buy one get one free offers and these cannot be missed. You can drink professionally prepared cocktails in luxurious surroundings for the same price as you can expect outside of the hotel...why would you go anywhere else?! If The Slate was a museum, you would gladly pay money to simply visit. Each and every room (including the rest rooms) are decorated to such an unbelievably high standard. If you are visiting Phuket, you must visit The Slate to have a truly unique experience in unique surroundings, all made extra special by the genuine passion and care from each and every member of the staff you meet who work at the resort Read less

Our experience at the Slate has been nothing short of exceptional! The very first interaction with Rosie at reservations until the day we checked out has been extraordinary! We went there to celebrate our dad’s 75th birthday as a family and who would have known ~ we have created our most precious memories together as a family! What stood out for me the most was the incredible staff & the dinner at black ginger. I simply could not fault the place! Without a doubt this will be my go to resort on my next visit Read less
