About Banquet Hall 1
A Dedicated Event Space in the Western Ghats Foothills
Banquet Hall 1 at Elysia Resort is a purpose-built indoor event venue set within the lush, green surroundings of Kune Village in Maharashtra's Sahyadri foothills. The hall offers a self-contained environment that contrasts the open natural landscape of the resort with a climate-controlled, formally appointed interior — making it a practical choice for gatherings that require a structured setting without sacrificing the resort's scenic backdrop. Whether guests are arriving for a milestone celebration or a focused corporate retreat, the hall provides a dedicated space where the event can take centre stage.
The resort itself occupies a peaceful pocket near Kune, a hamlet known for the Kune Waterfalls and its proximity to Lonavala — one of Maharashtra's most popular hill-station destinations. This positioning, roughly between Mumbai and Pune along the Mumbai–Pune Expressway corridor, makes Elysia Resort — and Banquet Hall 1 within it — genuinely accessible for guests travelling from either metropolitan area, typically within two to three hours depending on traffic.
Events & Occasions
Banquet Hall 1 is suited to a broad range of private and professional events. On the social side, it accommodates wedding ceremonies, receptions, engagement functions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings where guests benefit from being surrounded by the resort's natural greenery. The enclosed format of the hall provides insulation from weather variability — a relevant consideration in a region that receives significant monsoon rainfall — ensuring that events can proceed on schedule regardless of the season.
For corporate clients, the hall functions as a venue for conferences, seminars, team off-sites, product presentations, and training workshops. Elysia Resort's positioning as a destination property away from the city noise makes it a natural fit for organisations looking to host events in an environment that encourages focus and engagement. The combination of a dedicated indoor hall with the resort's broader hospitality infrastructure — including accommodation, dining, and outdoor spaces — supports multi-day corporate programmes that extend beyond a single meeting session.
Location & Accessibility
Kune Village sits in the Maval tehsil of Pune district, nestled at the foot of the Western Ghats. The area is best known as the site of the Kune Waterfalls and lies close to the Khandala and Lonavala belt, making it a recognised leisure and retreat destination for residents of both Mumbai and Pune. The Mumbai–Pune Expressway passes through this corridor, and Kune is accessible via the Khopoli or Lonavala exits depending on the direction of travel. The nearest railway station is Lonavala, which is served by trains on the Central Railway line connecting Mumbai and Pune.
For event organisers, this location means guests can be drawn from two of India's largest cities without requiring air travel, while still experiencing the feeling of a genuine getaway. The resort environment encourages guests to extend their stay, which is a meaningful advantage for events where engagement and networking beyond the formal agenda matter.
