Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty

THE BACKWATERS OF KERALA make for some of the most enchanting wedding settings. At the Grand Hyatt Kochi, located on Bolgatty island and overlooking the backwaters of Vembanad lake, you’re in the midst of an urban oasis surrounded by scenic views stretching for miles. Whether you choose a lakeside ceremony or tie the knot in an intimate manner on a luxury houseboat, the hotel will tailor the experience for you. Other event spaces include the grand ballroom, picturesque landscaped lawns and residential-styled spaces that can all be customised to your liking and are apt for cocktails, mehendi cremony, etc. Expert planners are also available to help you through the process, from your choice of cuisine to picking venues, right down to smaller details like floral decor and live entertainment.

The 264-key property includes four plush villas with private plunge pools, so couples can soak in the wedding festivities in style. Or simply, make an appointment for an indulgent spa treatment for that post-wedded bliss. There are several dining options to choose from, offering specialties from international cuisines to Malabar and Thai fare, and a pool bar, where you can enjoy sundowners savouring cocktails. hyatt.com
