PB hotel design editorial

The tin mining history buried beneath Phuket's Nai Yang Beach gave Bill Bensley his conceptual anchor when he transformed a low-rise resort into The Slate — a property whose entire design vocabulary draws from the island's industrial past. Exposed concrete walls scored to suggest geological strata, black-stained timber floors as dark as mine shafts, corrugated metal details, and pendant workshop lamps suspended from exposed roof trusses all belong to a single coherent narrative. The aerial view confirms how generously the 177-room resort is set within its landscape: low-pitched pavilion roofs disappear into a canopy of casuarina trees and tropical palms, the Andaman Sea visible just beyond the treeline at Nai Yang's quieter northern shore. Inside, Bensley's characteristic theatricality sharpens the concept rather than overwhelming it. Villa bedrooms deploy chalkboard engineering drawings as wall art, raw concrete block alongside darkened steel furniture, jute runners over ebonised hardwood — the effect somewhere between a draughtsman's studio and a colonial bungalow. The main restaurant amplifies the mood with double-height board-formed concrete columns, salvage-inspired chandeliers in cobalt and chrome, and open sides that dissolve the boundary between interior and garden. Elsewhere, a still infinity pool framed by sugar palms mirrors a sunset palette of amber and gold, its teak sun loungers and clipped hedges providing just enough order to hold the surrounding jungle at a civilised distance.

"We only spent one night at The Slate so it’s difficult to review in detail but enjoyed our stay; reception was efficient & friendly; our room was impressive & luxurious and the grounds were beautifully maintained. We didn’t eat at the hotel finding the prices high but there’s plenty of food options along the beachfront by the hotel."

"We regularly enjoyed visits to the Slate a few years back, then foolishly stayed at another Nai Yang hotel. It was lovely to return to the Slate. Their signature scent at reception when we checked in took us back to beautiful memories of this hotel. This is a very well run, clean and efficent hotel. I will start with breakfasts, a superb variety every morning. We stayed for nine nights and ate differently every day in a lovely indoor/outdoor setting. There is a huge variety of Thai and International options and venues for lunch. Dinner at Black Ginger is a very special romantic occasion. Travelling without children we enjoyed the adult pool which is one of three to choose from. We booked a Pearl Suite. These rooms are spacious, well maintained with a super balcony overlooking the lush gardens. The mosquito control is good and housekeeping still light the repellant coils each evening on the balcony. Without exception the staff here are very friendly and helpful. We remembered many faces from previous years. There are too many to mention here, but one member of staff stands out, he is called number one for a reason. Thank you Khun Nueng. There are many other facilities within the hotel including the dive shop and wonderful Spa. The hotel location is perfect, just over from the village gate is Nai Yang beach with it's famous sunsets. Thank you management and staff of the Slate, see you in November."

"The perfect holiday! A great resort with enough of family spaces and adult only spaces to cater for larger groups. Each restaurant was outstanding - Black Ginger and Rivet especially so! So much so, we regretted the only meal we had outside the hotel! Staff are attentive and make you feel welcome. It is just across the road from the beach. Would be even better if they had sunbeds at the beach too, but they do provide beach mats for it. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Already planning to come back!"
