The Slate, Phuket: Out with the old, in with the new

If you have been looking for the perfect place in Phuket to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city, you have come to the right place.

Originally designed by internationally acclaimed architect Bill Bensley, The Slate, formally known as Indigo Pearl, has undergone major changes and will be re-launched this month. What started out as a foreground for tin mining, owner and managing director, Wichit Na-Ranong, has not only continued the legacy of his ancestral roots but also used it as a unique and personal source of inspiration in the creation of this resort. Laced with rich history, this is where family legacy meets raw elements, industrial beauty interrupts, and art converges with nature. Step foot onto the island’s only avant-garde resort and travel back in time whilst enjoying the amenities of the present.

Located 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport, on Phuket’s northern shore next to a pristine and secluded beach, the property offers 117 accommodation choices, eight restaurants and bars, three outdoor pools, tennis courts, a private beach club, an art lounge, a kids club, an award-winning spa within arm’s reach (or you can also check out the best boutique spa in Kata Rocks if in-house spas aren’t your thing), an on-property boutique, and a cooking school.

Whether it’s a getaway with the kids, a weekend with the hubby or a few days of relaxation for yourself, The Slate will definitely make you feel welcome.
