Travelling from Singapore and looking for where to stay in Phuket? This resort is just what you need
The crown jewel of beach escapes in Thailand, Phuket is constantly on our getaway list whenever we feel like we’ve worked too hard. And while you’ll find numerous pockets of paradise scattered all over the isle, there’s one that we’re unconditionally willing to call home… well, at least for the few days while we’re there! Formerly known as Indigo Pearl Resort, this luxury hotel has been grandly rebranded as The Slate Phuket, but it’s a makeover that retains the vision of pampering its guests and giving them a vacay of a lifetime.
Situated just 10 minutes from the airport (talk about Utopia right on your doorstep!), The Slate Phuket wishes to whisk you away as soon as you’ve hopped off the plane in excitement. The service here is engaging and hospitable, and will cater to all of your R&R needs without being overly intrusive. This balance is important for The Slate Phuket, which also adopts an aesthetic both modern and traditional – contemporary, luxe décor that shares its space with elements reminiscent of Phuket’s tin-mining heritage. So what you’re getting isn’t just luxury, it’s history.
Now this is what we call living
The Slate Phuket offers a myriad of gorgeous suites – from the Pearl Bed Suite (56-65sqm) with marble and wooden interiors with a private balcony, to the decadent Bensley Suite (504sqm) that comes with its own plunge pool and terraces. Need to loosen those knots and bliss out? The Slate Phuket invites guests to relax and recharge in its Coqoon Spa, which boasts eight tranquil rooms set against lush rainforest, and enchanting treatments that use healing and relaxation techniques of Thai massages with in-house products. This spa even has a woven nest spectacularly integrated into a 100-year-old Banyan Tree – an architectural marvel that will make you feel like you’re on the set of Avatar! Ready to feel like a brand new you?

Stuff yourself and dine like royalty
Spas always make us hungry, and thankfully, The Slate has lots on your plate. From its Black Ginger restaurant that serves authentic Phuket cuisine, to the more contemporary Rivet & Rebar that whips up modern Asian cuisine (think lobster tandoori, Japanese cod, and Sichuan pepper crème brulee), and even the hotel’s Underground Cafe that lets you indulge in Sunday brunch – The Slate Phuket will make sure your appetite’s gleefully satiated. Feeling like a swig of whisky instead? Have your tipples at the Tongkah Tin Syndicate Phuket. Stop at one cocktail? Pfft… please!

Exploring the beauty of Phuket has never been easier
Granted, we’d love to hole up in our suites all day, but you’d certainly regret with a setting this scenic! Simply head to the concierge, and you’ll get help arranging temple visits and modern art tours, or even Thai cooking classes if you wanna learn new tricks in the kitchen. Craving something more adventurous? The Slate Phuket will even help you charter a yacht, that will give you access to island-hopping, diving, and even deep-sea fishing for a true thrill vacay.
