A Masterpiece of Design and Heritage
The Slate is the creative vision of acclaimed architect Bill Bayley, known for transforming spaces into storytelling experiences. Drawing inspiration from Phuket’s rich tin-mining history, the resort’s industrial-chic aesthetic is both daring and elegant. Steel beams, copper tones, and rustic textures blend effortlessly with tropical greenery, while art installations and whimsical lighting create a mood that’s both cinematic and soulful. Every corner of the resort feels like a curated gallery celebrating the island’s heritage through modern luxury.
Prime Location and Island Serenity
Tucked away in the peaceful enclave of Nai Yang, The Slate offers guests a balance of seclusion and accessibility. The beach itself remains relatively untouched, offering calm waters and golden sands framed by casuarina trees. Its proximity to the airport adds to its appeal for travelers seeking a short transfer time without compromising on atmosphere. Guests can enjoy beach walks, local market visits, or simply retreat to the serenity of the resort’s private gardens and pools.

Luxury Rooms and Dream Villas
With 184 rooms, suites, and villas, The Slate offers accommodations tailored for every type of traveler. The design-forward spaces feature polished concrete floors, plush furnishings, and handcrafted art pieces. Suites such as the Pool Suite and the Pearl Shell Suite come with spacious terraces and plunge pools, while the grand Bensley Suite takes indulgence to another level — with its own infinity pool, outdoor bathtub, spa pavilion, and personal butler. For those seeking ultimate privacy, the Pool Villas are a sanctuary of calm, complete with secluded gardens and bespoke in-room dining experiences.
Pools, Wellness, and Relaxation
The resort boasts three distinct swimming pools, each catering to a different mood. The adults-only Snakeskin Infinity Pool offers uninterrupted tranquility, while the Pulley Pool features a swim-up bar perfect for leisurely afternoons. Families gravitate towards the Lagoon Pool with its shallow ends and playful design. For rejuvenation, the Coqoon Spa offers a sensory escape within a lush garden setting. Guests can enjoy traditional Thai massages, aromatherapy, and holistic treatments within private cocoon-like pods that blend into nature.
Culinary Excellence with Character
Dining at The Slate is an experience in itself. The Tin Mine serves hearty international fare and themed buffets, while Rivet presents Japanese-inspired cuisine in an atmosphere reminiscent of a retro factory workshop. Above it, Rebar offers cocktails and a stylish lounge setting ideal for sunset gatherings. The undisputed highlight, however, is Black Ginger — a visually stunning restaurant that appears to float on a lagoon. Accessible only by a short boat ride, guests dine on exquisite Thai dishes crafted with local ingredients, surrounded by flickering lanterns and serene waters.
