The Slate, Phuket, Thailand

Set beside the sands of Nai Yang Beach, The Slate is a bold design-led resort that tells Phuket’s tin-mining history through dramatic architecture and lush tropical gardens. 

With 210 suites and villas, the atmosphere is immersive and expressive — dark metals, reclaimed wood, open pavilions, and water reflecting palms and sky.

It’s a place where art, nature, and heritage collide, creating one of Phuket’s most distinctive resort experiences.

What Makes It Special

• 210 suites and villas, many set within gardens or featuring private pools.
• Striking industrial design, inspired by Phuket’s tin-mining past.
• Direct access to Nai Yang Beach, relaxed and uncrowded.
• Multiple swimming pools, each with its own mood and scale.
• Coqoon Spa, set in nest-like structures among trees.
• A strong sense of narrative, where design feels intentional and rooted in place.

A Day at The Slate

Morning

Wake to filtered sunlight and tropical air. Breakfast unfolds beneath open pavilions — fresh fruit, Thai flavors, warm bread — with the sound of palms moving gently overhead.

Afternoon

Alternate between beach time, shaded pools, and spa rituals. The resort’s pathways invite wandering, revealing sculptures, water features, and quiet corners along the way.

Evening

As the light fades, the resort transforms — fire pits glow, metal surfaces catch amber light, and dinner feels theatrical yet relaxed.

Night

Your room feels textured and cocooning — natural materials, soft lighting, and the steady hush of the coast nearby.
