The Slate Phuket, the only art-inspired beachfront resort of the island, is an immersive destination for guests who want to escape the city and explore the wonders of Phuket, past and present. Thai residents and expats now have the opportunity to get away from the world and awaken their senses in this avant-garde dreamscape, on the pure shores of Nai Yang Beach.
Expertly conceived and crafted by Bill Bensley, the maverick hotel architect and landscape designer, The Slate weaves together the rich heritage of Phuket, including its historical tin mining trade, with the future of hospitality. Experiential activities focus on art and culture, such as the unique “Artist in Residence” programme, which allows guests to uncover original works from a series of talented young artists, who set up studios and galleries in the resort.
This spirit of discovery is also reflected in the resort’s sense of space – 35 acres of dream-like gardens and three swimming pools – and dramatic culinary destinations, which showcase highly authentic yet innovative dishes. For example, Black Ginger is set in a traditional Ayutthaya-style mansion that appears to float above a tranquil lagoon. Only accessible via a wooden raft, this exquisite dining venue blends Phuket’s sensational street food with the elevated flavours of the Grand Palace. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2020 as one of the Kingdom’s best culinary addresses.
Thai nationals and expats can now experience everything this remarkable resort has to offer, with an enticing new offer for local residents. Under the “Whimsical Escapes” package, The Slate is inviting guests to enjoy a choice of accommodation, plus private roundtrip airport transfers, a welcome cocktail or mocktail, daily breakfast for two guests at Tin Mine, late 2pm check-out (subject to availability), access to all daily activities, complimentary Wi-Fi, 10 percent food and beverage discounts (except alcohol and promotions), and 10 percent off spa treatments (except beauty salon, packages and promotions).
The 112-square metre Private Pool Suites immerse guests in an intimate and exotic private world
This exclusive offer is priced from THB 4,000 net per night (based on double occupancy) for a spacious Pearl Bed Suite. Guests who stay for a minimum of two nights will receive a complimentary 60-minute body massage or one Thai set dinner at Black Ginger for two people. This package is valid for bookings from now until 23rd December 2020, and for stays taken from 1st August until 23rd December 2020.
Guests can escape in the sky thanks to the extraordinary setting of the Coqoon Spa
“After such an unprecedented global situation, it has never been more important to take a break from reality and experience something truly extraordinary. With Bill Bensley’s eccentric design and our eclectic amenities, including distinctive dining venues, The Slate is the perfect place to stimulate your senses,” said The Slate’s managing director and co-founder, Krystal Prakaikaew Na-Ranong, affectionately known as Khun Moo.
The Slate has introduced a wide range of precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of its guests and employees. These include extensive cleaning and sanitizing protocols, social distancing in all areas of the hotel, revised pre-arrival check-in procedures, limited-contact food service and seating, and more. These practices are in line with recommendations from the World Health Organization and the Thai Ministry of Public Health. The resort has also been awarded the Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) certificate by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
