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.

Amazing! This hotel is really underrated. Really surprised by the premises, the rooms, the location, the quality of the food, the garden, the pools, the gym… The design is also unique.

Amazing! This hotel is really underrated. Really surprised by the premises, the rooms, the location, the quality of the food, the garden, the pools, the gym… The design is also unique. The hotel is a “modern art museum“. Everywhere you look, there is a piece of art, including the cutlery:) The black ginger restaurant is a must see. No wonder it received Michelin awards. The staff are beyond the typical Thai hospitality. They are smiling, friendly, helpful, available, dedicated. As a guest you feel most welcomed. The bar is smartly located. The music is super nice and trendy. The Spa is high standard with top professional therapists. The beach is literally across the street. Taking into consideration all the above, the price we paid is a bargain. And all of this, is only 10 minutes from the airport. We loved it and will definitely come back. Read less

The best hotel you ever can experience! Located about 10 min drive from the airport and close to the Naiyang beach is the hotel perfect located. Airport do not disturb that much. The beach i big, the water is maybe not the clearest in Thailand but it works just fine. The hotels architecture and design is one of a kind. The staff at the hotel are one of the best you can find, there to make your vacation the best. Even though the food and drinks are way more expensive than the local restaurant next door the price is worth it. Breakfast is one of the best I have ever had in Thailand. You probably travel to Thailand to stay outside. This is a real problem here. You almost don’t want to leave your room. The best beds in the world. Nicest pillows (If you don’t like your pillow, don’t worry they have a pillow menu) you can imagine. Hotel offer an application to download on your phone from where you can chat with front desk, order room service and a lot of other features. Love every single minute. I’ll back! Read less
