A design-led Phuket resort beside Nai Yang Beach, with garden, beach and ballroom weddings.
The Setting
The Slate sits on Nai Yang Beach in Sakhu, Thalang, right beside Phuket airport. It calls itself an all villa, all suite resort, with 177 villas and suites plus seven more private pool villas, and it holds one Michelin Key.
It is a big property by boutique standards, with three outdoor pools, a tennis court, the Tin Box Kids' Club and eight restaurants and bars. That makes it a good fit for a wedding with a lot of guests who want variety, from family weekends to a lively party. There is also Heliconia, an on-site flower shop with florist consultations, which makes it easy to see and approve your flowers in person before the day rather than trusting a photo.
The day itself
The Slate hosts weddings in its gardens, on the beach and in its ballroom, and a personal wedding planner works through the details with you. Reception packages include flowers, a buffet and a wedding cake, with options such as a bridal path or arch, centrepieces, bouquets and corsages. You can even order mock-up bouquets so there are no surprises.
The team works with weddings of 50 to 200 guests, and the weddings page mentions holy monks chanting, so ask how a Thai blessing can be built into the day. Ask for the brochure and the music curfew. Planning visits include an evening in one of the suites and a tour of the venues. Ask the team about legal ceremonies too.
Where your guests stay
With 177 villas and suites, a large share of the guest list can stay on site. Ask the team about room blocks, and about the Bensley Residence for the couple.
Book a Pearl Shell Suite or Pool Villa and it comes with a spa session for the two of you at COQOON, the resort's award-winning spa, before the wedding. The three pools and the tennis court fill the days around the wedding, and the kids club helps if children are coming. With eight restaurants and bars, there is room to plan welcome drinks, a rehearsal dinner and a farewell lunch in different places, so ask which can be booked privately. The airport is next door, so travel days are short.
Book a Pearl Shell Suite or Pool Villa for your own stay. It comes with a pre-wedding spa session for two at COQOON, which is exactly when you need it.
