Willingdon Island, in the middle of the Cochin harbour, is a British legacy, created by Lord Bristow when he dredged the seabed to secure the city future as an international port. Ideally located between Fort Cochin and the modern mainland town of Ernakulam, it is the home of four flagship hotels, The Casino - a gateway to Cochin, Kerala and the tropical Lakshadweep Islands. Our guests tell us that this shows.
