About
Bolgatty Palace stands on Bolgatty Island, in Mulavukad near Kochi in the Indian state of Kerala. It is a former palace built by the Dutch in 1744, and it is now a heritage hotel, so visitors can see its historic architecture while staying or dining on the grounds.
What the visit offers
The island setting is the main draw. The palace overlooks the backwaters, and from its grounds there are views across the water toward Kochi city. A visit suits anyone interested in colonial-era buildings, quiet waterside surroundings, or a slower pace away from the busier parts of the city.

Planning your trip
Because the palace is now a hotel, it is best to contact the property ahead of your visit to confirm arrangements, including how to reach the island and what is open to non-guests. Kochi itself offers a wide range of other sights and places to eat, so Bolgatty Palace works well as one part of a longer stay in the area.
