'''Mulavukad''', also known locally as '''Bolgatty Island''', is one of the villages that forms part of the district of [[Ernakulam]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is situated in the [[Mulavukad Grama Panchayat]]. [[Vypin]] island and [[Vallarpadam]] island lie on its west side and [[Vaduthala]] lie to its east. Mulavukad is connected to mainland [[Ernakulam]] & Vallarpadam by the [[Goshree bridges]] and to Container terminal road at north side to connect to Kalamassery and Aluva side. Easy connection to the CBD, Northern and Southern side of Cochin city make the Island unique among other Goshree Islands.

The [[Bolgatty Palace]] is located at the southern tip of the island. It was built by the Dutch as a centre for colonial administration, and later taken over by the British. The Palace is a popular tourist attraction and a heritage hotel, managed by the [[Kerala Tourism Development Corporation|Kerala State Tourism Department]] (KTDC). The Lulu International Convention Center and Hyatt Hotels group is launching in Mulavukad in 2016.

The island has a golf course and an [[Kochi Marina|international marina]]. The marina was the first of its kind in India and was set up by KITCO, for KTDC. Island is famous for its resorts, farm houses, water sports, safe bicycle routes, jogging tracks and multi cuisine restaurants.

Attraction of the Mulavukad is the cosmopolitan culture. People of all religion and political beliefs live in harmony and always united together for any common issues. Recently it is booming as a residential hub for Advocates from [[Kerala High Court]] and Doctors from [[Aster Medcity]]. A service road is sanctioned along the west side of the Island in parallel to the container road.
