A historic Dutch palace on an island in Kochi, now a heritage hotel with lush gardens, a golf course, and commanding backwater views.
Located on the scenic Bolgatty Island in Kochi, Bolgatty Palace is a former Dutch palace that now functions as a heritage hotel managed by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC). Built in 1744 by Dutch traders, it is one of the oldest existing Dutch palaces outside of Holland. The main palace building showcases typical Dutch colonial architecture with high ceilings, large halls, and wooden-framed glass windows. The property is spread across a large area with well-maintained lawns, a 9-hole golf course, and panoramic views of the Kochi backwaters and harbor.
