The Slate, Phuket
Overview
The brainchild of its owner, (whose ancestors were a prominent family in Thailand) it innovatively celebrates Phuket’s tin mining past in a funky, modernist and decadent way. Sitting on the site of a former working tin mine- (the name refers to the Slate that rested on top of the ‘black gold’ treasure) - with a blend of ancient Thai designs elements, industrial chic and some ingenious lighting this is a hotel that sets its self apart.
The Slate reveals whimsical and delightful experiences at every turn; drink in the billiard bar Tongkah Tin Syndicate, which not too long ago was still one of the mine’s surveyor sheds, dine at the signature Thai restaurant that sits on stilts over a handmade lake, visit the spa and have a massage in a ‘nest’ in the rainforest and treat yourself to ‘Feet In the Sand’ - a private four course romantic experience within the national park.
If all you want to do is relax, there are three stunning pools and the sands of Nai Yang Beach where you can enjoy the view of the crystal clear waters of the Andaman Sea.
