The best part about Cochin is the house we've been allotted. It's on the Marine drive facing the channel with a super huge balcony which makes morning and evening teas such a delight. And right opposite to our house across the channel is a small island called Bolgatty island, which houses the Bolgatty Palace which has been converted into a resort. The palace itself has four luxury suites. In the other small constructions in and around there's a resort with spa, pool and rooms in different categories. The palace is out of bound for outsiders, as in only the guests are allowed inside. This applies to a major part of the property. However, the restaurant and spa are open to public.
Bolgatty island has it's own jetty which is used to commute their guests on and off the island. It also has some tree-houses. But, since our visit was in monsoon times the tree-houses had a strange stale mossy smell to them thanks to the incessant rains in Cochin. The rooms were quite neat.
Here are some pictures from our quick visit:
