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.

It is a unique resort next to a small beach and village with many restaurants and massage places. You can also rent beach beds. The resort is in a great location, about a 10 min drive from the airport.

This hotel is off the scale. Incredible place and the staff are superb. It’s location is great with a fabulous beach and beach cafes outside. The hotel itself is one of the best I’ve been to. The staff really made the hotel special, their cheerful attitude and general helpfulness made the holiday a delight.

Our stay at the The Slate rates as one of our best hotel stays anywhere in the world. Everything was perfect. The room was beautiful, we stayed in a pool suite room and loved it. The decor is gorgeous and the bed incredibly comfy. The hotel app made it easy to arrange bookings with the front desk and the pillow menu is brilliant. My chosen pillow arrived in minutes. Breakfast has a big range of items and never felt too busy, even at peak times. We loved the gym and the experience centre, it was easy to book the activities and the gym staff are incredibly friendly and really good personal trainers. We did the 3 day fitness programme and felt great at the end of it. There is lots of space in the hotel grounds, we used the smaller adults only pool, which was very tranquil. Happy hour at the pool was a nice end to the day. The beach behind the hotel is amazing, the sunset was jaw dropping and the hotel provided SUP boards. There are so many activities at the hotel and the staff were always happy to help us out. I was worried about mosquitoes as it was coming to the end of rainy season, but the hotel did a great job with keeping them at bay, much better than other resorts we have stayed in. We will definitely be back very soon. Read less

Every detail, from the beautifully designed rooms to the lush, well-kept grounds, exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to go above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The dining experience was another highlight – the food at Black Ginger, in particular, was of outstanding quality. We have already shared our experience with friends and family, and we are eagerly looking forward to returning in the future.

I wish I could stay here forever at this cool hotel. Impossible to rate it high enough. I have been fortunate to have visited many top class hotels and this is by far the best of all. Every little detail is taken care of from checking in to checking out with meticulous kindness and courtesy. We stayed in a pearl suite with an outside bathtub! The room was absolutely gorgeous in every way and everything you could want was on hand, even including mosquito spray. Breakfast was awesome with so much choice and we also had dinner at the Tin Mine which was also perfect. The bar is also great with buy one get one free beers and a pool table. The grounds are immaculate and the 3 pools are gorgeous. We particularly loved the adults only pool and the staff there were so helpful and friendly. The beach and village is a short walk through the grounds and is also well worth a visit. The village has lots of small restaurants and bars on the beach which are perfect for a sunset cocktail or dinner. Congratulations to this hotel, it is perfection and so are the staff. Read less
