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 was our 8th… maybe 10th visit to The Slate, and honestly, I’ve lost count – it has become our absolute favorite escape in Phuket. From the moment we arrived, we were once again reminded why we keep coming back. The Thai hospitality is already legendary, but at The Slate, it’s elevated to something truly special. The attention to detail, thoughtful service, and stunning design by Bill Bensley continue to set the standard. This time, a few things stood out that made the experience feel even more refined: Music & Atmosphere: The lounge music in Tin Min, Rebar, and Pulley Pool & Bar was spot on – chilled, stylish, and perfectly matched to each space. It created a seamless, relaxing vibe throughout the resort. Pools: Snakeskin Pool remains our personal sanctuary. It’s quiet, serene, and wrapped in lush paradise. An ideal spot for unwinding. Dining: There's been a clear improvement since our 2022 visit. The menus are more varied, with noticeable upgrades across Tin Mine, Underground Café, and even the in-room dining options. Plus, there are ongoing promotions and deals on food, drinks, and spa treatments, which added great value. Staff & Communication: We noticed a real improvement in English communication this time around, making everything from check-in to dining and activity planning smooth and stress-free. New App: A very welcome addition! The daily notifications about hotel activities and island events helped us make the most of our stay. It’s practical, modern, and enhances the guest experience. The Slate isn't just a resort – it's a curated experience that continues to evolve without losing its soul. Every visit feels both familiar and refreshed. A huge thank you to the entire team – you make us feel like part of the family every single time. Can’t wait for our next stay! Read less

The Slate is a boutique hotel experience nestled with direct beach access in the quiet, timeless area of Nai Yang. Aside from offering all the usual wonder that you come to expect from a five star hotel, the Slate pushes the boundaries of luxury with unique architecture and fit out, epically soft sheets, elegant lighting, bountiful fresh flower displays and epic venues…. Significantly the Black Ginger restaurant which is accessed only across a misty lagoon by calling on the boatman. There is a room size and layout suitable for everyone and if you can’t see it, contact the hotel directly and their warm and friendly staff will be sure to help. Read less

We originally booked a Dbunk room but after some enquiry we upgraded to adjoining rooms. Wow to both rooms but WOW to the most beautiful room, the large gorgeous balcony views, the most comfiest bed and I loved the black out curtains!

We originally booked a Dbunk room but after some enquiry we upgraded to adjoining rooms. Wow to both rooms but WOW to the most beautiful room, the large gorgeous balcony views, the most comfiest bed and I loved the black out curtains! The rooms were cleaned to a very high standard and we loved the attention to detail. We ate at the restaurants and were very pleased each time. We used a local man to take us on trips which was more than 1000 bhat cheaper than the hotels. With still a great Toyota van. We also took a cab to Boat Avenue, here they had lots of restaurants, bars and shopping all in close proximity. What we would change: There is only one family pool, it is large but there was a day there were no sun loungers for us. We went to the age 14+ pool which was empty. We had a 9 and 13 year old so decided to use the facility. However we were politely told we couldn’t use it. I feel the age of the pool should be lowered for more families to enjoy. Read less

Not having been to Thailand before we searched through so many reviews. We found the Slate through the Flip Flop traveler and instantly we were drawn to The Slate due the use of metal art work and design throughout the resort. The staff were extremely helpful and polite service was excellent! Such a refreshing resort to stay at!
