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.

I spent 3 days and 2 nights at The Slate Phuket, and it was much more than just a beautiful resort. The property beautifully combines Phuket’s tin mining heritage with nature, art, and industrial-inspired architecture, creating a truly unique atmosphere. I stayed in the 65-square-meter Pearl Bed Suite, which features warm wooden details, handcrafted elements, a private balcony overlooking the greenery, and a large bathtub. The resort is spacious, with three swimming pools, a spa, gym, art gallery, Kids Club, and easy access to Nai Yang Beach. The dining experiences were another highlight. Black Ginger offers refined Thai and local Phuket cuisine in a stunning setting, while Rivet & Rebar brings a stylish industrial atmosphere with Modern Grill and International dishes. Tin Mine is also a great option for breakfast and lunch. The Slate has been recognized with a MICHELIN One Key, along with several design and hospitality awards. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. The combination of history, architecture, nature, food, and thoughtful details makes The Slate feel very different from a typical resort. Read less

I liked the Slate a LOT. As an artist I loved the special industrial tropic design and art through out the hotel. Great room, great breakfast. Lots of places with natural shade for staying at one of the different pools. They came around with drinking water and refreshing towels. Good app to communicate with front of house. Could tell them the time we wanted the room done and order as much as wanted coffee capsules even decaf and milk for the coffee machine in the room. Plus the hotel takes it up another level when it comes to environment. Own sewage, own wormfarm and beach rubbish collection with guest volunteers. I would have joined but time was unfortunately excactly when we usually have breakfast. Maybe offering one other time slot to help? Other hotels should join in the effort to get beaches cleaned and I think tourists should join in the efforts. I regularly do some mini rubbish collections myself when I am here on holidays. If every tourist would help just a minimum it would make a great difference. Read less
