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.

We had been looking forward to our stay at The Slate, but unfortunately left feeling very disappointed.

We had been looking forward to our stay at The Slate, but unfortunately left feeling very disappointed. We had to adjust our booking down from 2 adults + child to 1 + 1, which was a mission to try and do despite the room being paid for in full 5 weeks before our stay. The staff were really unhelpful. Our family suite room was not as the pictures looked on the website. The outdoor area was a mosquito cesspit, with a path right in front (had a thin hedge) but privacy was not good. We had to close the curtains for most of the stay. Noise transfer between rooms was high, thankfully wasn’t late into the night or early morning, but not what I would expect. We decided to order drinks around the pool - but happy hour deals are not extended to the family pool, only one of the adult pools - why have such an exclusive policy? Read less

Beautiful avant garde hotel, manicured grounds, lovely staff, wonderful food. Make sure you eat at Black Ginger and Tin Mine when you visit. The stilts only pool is very beautiful and relaxing. It is close to the airport but you definitely do not hear the planes. Highly recommended.

My daughter said it looks like something from Crazy Rich Asians. The grounds are beautiful and our room did not disappoint. We had a room with a private pool and also enjoyed the outside bathtub. We arrived on a Friday evening and were able to have dinner at the street food experience with the fire show. The staff is excellent and very helpful.

The Slate is a beautiful hotel on Nai Yang Beach. The staff work extremely hard to make sure your stay is enjoyable - my room was always kept immaculate by Ning, room service was quick and efficient via an online app and the choice at breakfast was extensive. The pool side staff were very welcoming, and Ian in particular was helping me with my thai. I had a couple of queries that reception helped with and Ghee and Auy were really helpful. Nai Yang beach also has a number of options for eating out (stalls and restaurants). There are also a few convenience stores and souvenir shops so the hotel is well located for local amenities.
