The Fern Hotels & Resorts has added a new property in Maharashtra with the opening of The Fern Riverview Resort Chiplun, Series by Marriott. Located in the Konkan belt, the resort sits close to the river and surrounding greenery, positioning itself as a low-key base for travellers passing through Chiplun as well as those visiting for work in the region.

A Riverside Stay

Set in Chiplun, the resort brings together accommodation and facilities tailored for leisure travel, corporate offsites, and smaller-scale events. Its design draws on the surrounding Konkan landscape, with the property positioned to make the most of the region’s natural setting.

Speaking on the launch, Suhail Kannampilly, managing director, The Fern Hotels & Resorts, noted that the Konkan belt is steadily emerging as a notable leisure destination in Maharashtra. He pointed to its unspoilt scenery, riverfront views and coastal character as key draws for travellers, adding that the opening aligns with the group’s focus on destinations offering more experience-led stays in growing markets.

Rooms And Spaces

The property has 37 rooms available across several categories, all set up with a clear emphasis on comfort for both brief stopovers and longer visits. The layout and in-room details are aimed at a mix of guests, whether they are in Chiplun for leisure travel around the Konkan belt or in town on business.
