About Apollo
The Apollo Event Space
Apollo is a dedicated event venue at The Fern Shelter Resort, Palghar — a property that sits within the greenery of Dhekale village in Maharashtra's Palghar district. The Fern Shelter Resort is part of The Fern Hotels & Resorts, a brand with a strong presence across India and a reputation for eco-sensitive hospitality. The Apollo space carries this character forward: it offers a setting that is both purposeful and relaxed, designed for groups that want a professional event environment without the impersonal scale of a large urban convention hotel.
The resort itself draws on its natural surroundings — verdant landscapes, open skies, and the quieter pace of life away from Mumbai's metropolitan sprawl — and Apollo inherits that sensibility. Whether the setup calls for formal rows of seating, a banquet configuration, or a more intimate roundtable arrangement, the space can be dressed to suit the occasion. Events teams looking for a venue that combines a resort atmosphere with functional event infrastructure will find Apollo a compelling fit.
Events & Occasions
Apollo at The Fern Shelter Resort Palghar is suited to a broad range of event formats. Corporate retreats and off-site team meetings are a natural match: the distance from the city encourages focus, the resort's leisure facilities offer structured team-building options, and the event space itself can support presentations, workshops, and plenary sessions. Training programmes and leadership seminars are well served by the same combination of professional setup and resort-level comfort.
Social celebrations — milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and small-to-mid-size wedding functions — also find a home here. The resort's setting lends these events a holiday quality that urban banquet halls rarely replicate: guests arrive and genuinely feel they've gone somewhere, which adds to the occasion. For families organising a multi-day wedding celebration, the on-site accommodation means the festivities and the staying arrangements are in one place, simplifying logistics considerably.
The Fern Hotels brand's commitment to sustainability extends to its properties and events, which may appeal to organisations with green-event policies or couples who want their celebration hosted responsibly.
Location & Accessibility
The Fern Shelter Resort is located in Dhekale, Palghar district, Maharashtra. Palghar sits to the north of Mumbai along the Western Railway line, making the resort accessible from Mumbai by both road and rail — a practical advantage for event groups travelling from the city. The Palghar railway station connects to Mumbai's Western Railway suburban and long-distance network, and the resort is reachable from the station. By road, the property is accessible via the Western Express Highway corridor.
The Palghar region is known for its proximity to the Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary and the coastal landscape of the Konkan belt, giving the resort's surroundings a genuine natural character that distinguishes it from purpose-built conference centres closer to the city. For event planners whose guests are travelling from Mumbai or the broader Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the relative ease of access combined with the resort's out-of-city feel makes Apollo at The Fern Shelter Resort a practical and appealing choice.
