The Most Affordable MICHELIN Key Hotels in Thailand

"Phuket is famed for its splashy high-end resorts, but The Slate shows you don’t have to overspend to enjoy bold design and a beachfront lifestyle. Inspired by the island’s tin-mining past, star architect Bill Bensley crafted an industrial-chic aesthetic set amid lush gardens near Nai Yang Beach. The resort blends avant-garde design with modern comforts — multiple pools, diverse restaurants, and whimsical spaces — offering high style without the high price. Suites and villas start at 64 sqm, many with bathtubs and private pools, plus thoughtful touches like sleep-comfort menus and evening turndowns. Guests can island hop, explore Phuket Old Town, or recharge at the rainforest-inspired spa and independent wellness retreat." - Angie Thien
