The Slate, a five star hotel on Phuket’s northern coast, takes its inspiration from the area’s tin mining past, where wood-beamed roofs paired are with industrial lighting. This boutique hotel offers 178 rooms and suites featuring private terraces, balconies or courtyards; private pools and in villa massage beds are extras in higher room categories. The five on site dining options serve traditional Thai dishes and international favourites, Sunday brunch is held at the Underground Café and guests can opt for private dining on the beach. Expect world class facilities from the luxury spa with its ‘Nest’ – a wicker tree house structure to Moo’s Kitchen for Thai cooking classes and daily Tin Box Kids’ Club.
