                                                                                        L’Arôme by the Sea Phuket is a contemporary French restaurant serving modern cuisine with amazing sea views, without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Phuket.

                                                                                          Karon is an immense and beautiful wide beach, so it’s not surprising that this small town is a popular beach resort destination and that there are so many hotels in Karon.

                                                                                          Best hotels in Kamala Beach

You will find a row of guesthouses along the south part of the main beach at excellent prices, but the sea isn’t as attractive around this part of Kamala Beach.
