A different kind of purchase

You are buying a hotel room, not a flat

This is the first Georgian hotel of an international five-star brand, and the unit you buy is a room inside it. The operator runs the hotel, fills it, cleans it and bills the guest. You own the room, take half the revenue it earns and do nothing else. No tenant to find, no fit-out to commission, no furniture to buy: the room is delivered turnkey and goes straight into the hotel inventory.

First line means this: the beach starts where the site ends.

The arithmetic

Developer's projected model for a 30 m² room, price list of June 2025. Rooms on sale now start at 33.9 m² and $173,115, and the yield below does not apply to them.

Paying for it

Ten per cent to start

Terms as of 1 August 2026: 10% on signing, 50% spread over twenty-one months to November 2027, and the final 40% in June 2028, six months after the hotel opens. Discounts are negotiated case by case against the payment plan and the size of the ticket.

What we would tell a friendThe 12% rests on 68.9% occupancy and a $128.80 nightly rate. Those are the operator's projections for a hotel that has not opened yet, not a record of what it earned. A five-star brand makes them plausible; it does not make them a promise. Ask what happens to your share in a weak season, and get the answer in the management agreement rather than in a brochure.
What is inside

A resort, not a block of flats

Casino, restaurant, rooftop bar, indoor and outdoor pools, pool bar, spa and gym, private beach, business lounge, conference hall, wine boutique and cigar lounge, gardens, parking.

Every one of those is a reason a guest books the room instead of an apartment down the road, and that is what your half of the revenue is built on.

Resort infrastructure

A five-star resort on the first line

A five-star resort complex on the Black Sea in Gonio: a private beach, an outdoor and an indoor pool, a spa with a gym, restaurants and a rooftop bar. Over 500 rooms with panoramic views, the largest hotel complex of this class in Georgia. Handover is Q4 2027; today this is still a building site.

On the grounds

Everything below is promised by the developer by handover; today it is still a building site. This is separate from the walking-distance list below: it is what is inside the grounds themselves.
