The Slate

Even upon arrival at THE SLATE, you're immediately struck by the unique atmosphere. You're warmly welcomed with a complimentary drink, and female guests also receive a flower bracelet. The rooms are beautifully furnished. Every detail seems to have been custom-made for THE SLATE. You have a stunning view of the lovingly landscaped and meticulously maintained gardens. The pools are fantastic. Two pools are adults-only, while the lagoon pool is also suitable for children. The food in all three restaurants (Tin Mine, RIVET, and Black Ginger) is excellent. Each restaurant has its own distinct and special ambiance. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. A special thank you to the hotel director, Peter Wagner, who personally attends to the needs of his guests. This was our fourth stay at The Slate, and we will definitely be back next year.

Absolutely stunning hotel. From the aesthetic and design to every aspect, this hotel is most definitely deserving of it's five star standard. The staff are exceptionally attentive, professional and so friendly. We were made feel so welcome during our stay. From the check-in staff, to breakfast staff, restaurant staff, spa staff, pool staff each and every one of the staff made our holiday so enjoyable. The hotel is located right beside a beautiful beach Nai Yang. Located minutes from the airport and the area is small but quiet and relaxed with plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars and stalls. The rooms are extremely clean, modern and spacious. We were located in D in a Family D Buk room which slept myself, husband and two kids. We were close to breakfast, the pool and restaurant as well as steps away from the beautiful beach. Breakfast was the highlight every morning as it had such a wide variety of foods on offer to suit every taste. The staff here are incredible and Sue was the lady who looked after us every morning and her kindness and attentiveness was fantastic. She would remember every morning that I loved iced coffee and would make sure we had everything we needed. All the staff are like this, the young man who prepared the fruit every morning had great English and always chatted to us every morning and prepared the most delicious fruit. The Tin Mine Restaurant is excellent for dinner at night with the same exceptionally good food and we also ate at Black Ginger which was beautiful. I loved the little water crossing to the restaurant and dinner was one of the nicest meals we have eaten. The pools are spotlessly clean with soft fluffy towels supplied and friendly and attentive staff. My son used the gym which is quite small but had everything he needed. I attended a Thai Chai class one morning which was very relaxing and enjoyable. Overall I cannot fault anything with The Slate. It was the highlight of our trip to Thailand and definitely the best experience we have ever had of staying in a hotel. The standard of this hotel is fully deserving of its five stars. Special thanks to Sue, Tina, May, Andy, Peter and all the staff for making us feel so welcome.

The Slate Phuket is definitely on my list of places I’d love to experience one day. As soon as I stepped into the hotel, I was fascinated by its unique design — a creative blend of industrial charm and inspiration from Phuket’s tin mining past. My pool villa was stunning, and I truly enjoyed every detail of its design. I loved that many of the room’s details were specially designed for the hotel, including the sink and the tissue holder — it really added a personal and unique touch. Breakfast was standard for a hotel and nothing particularly special, yet it was well-presented and enjoyable. Overall, The Slate Phuket is ideal for anyone who enjoys good design, quiet moments, and a refreshing escape from the crowds in a beautifully green setting. I’m happy for the hotel — it truly deserves this Michelin One Key award for 2024–2025, even though it does not display the award plaque anywhere on the property.

The Slate is a lovely Resort- well laid out with private gate to the beach and road side stalls. I had my own private pool - small but very nice in the Thai heat. On check in a received a voucher for a complimentary drink in anyone of their many bars. I opted for a cocktail which I have to say was one of the best I have ever had. The breakfast buffet was one of the biggest spreads I have ever seen and all very nice.

We’ve been coming back to this hotel for the past 10 years, and every trip to Phuket, it’s always our number one choice. The location is so convenient, close to the airport with no long travel needed, and it’s peaceful, family-friendly, and away from all the noisy bars and crowds. The vibe here is calm and relaxing, exactly what we need to unwind from city life. The staff are always warm, friendly, and helpful, and our kids absolutely love it. I really appreciate that there’s a family pool, so we never feel like our kids are bothering anyone, while couples or adults have their own quiet adults-only pool to enjoy. What I love most is how the hotel respects nature. The breakfast area was built around the trees instead of cutting them down, they even made a hole in the roof for one tree to keep growing through! It’s such a beautiful touch and shows their commitment to sustainability. We’ll definitely keep coming back it always feels like our peaceful little home in Phuket.
