The Slate

Substance as well as style

The Slate fuses historic design with chic contemporary flair to create what must be one of Phuket’s most unique large hotels.
Built on a former tin mine, the resort imaginatively captures elements of the island’s past with the style that has come to symbolise the present.
Located in an excellent spot on Nai Yang beach and with superb facilities, which rival any hotel in this class on the island. Three excellent swimming pools (one for families and two for adults only) give guests options for cooling off, while the great beach is good for swimming. The hotel has a good spa as well as a fitness suite, yoga pavilion, tennis courts, and even an on-site diving centre.
The Slate has an intimate and relaxed atmosphere that most hotels of this size can only dream of. The unique design will not be to everyone’s taste but those who like the look can be assured that there is plenty of substance beyond the style.
Food and dining options are broad and varied. The hotel has no fewer than 8 outlets offering a variety of cuisines in different styled settings. Breakfasts are worthy of special mention, as is the legendary Sunday Brunch (with free-flowing cocktails and international fine dining) which is well worth booking in advance. There is also a great in-house cooking school where you can learn some of the delicious dishes you will no doubt sample during your stay.
The Rooms
There are 178 rooms and 7 villas scattered around the grounds. Naturally, there are many shapes and sizes to choose from, from rooms for honeymooners to spacious villas for families to take over.
The low-rise constructions leave a footprint that belies the actual scale of the property.
