Area Overview
Description
Batumi is Georgia’s second-largest city and main Black Sea resort in the Adjara region, situated near the Turkish border. Full freehold ownership is available to international buyers, with agricultural land being the sole exception. New construction averages roughly USD 1,865 per sqm, with prime Old Batumi reaching around USD 3,028 per sqm. International buyers account for over 80% of market transactions. Beachfront short-term rentals generate robust summer yields ranging from 15% to 25%. Major institutional developments, including Eagle Hills’ announced Gonio Marina, continue to expand the city’s coastal infrastructure.
For investors, Batumi is primarily a tourism-driven market. Demand peaks in the summer months, especially July and August, when short-term rentals reach high occupancy and strong daily rates. Ongoing infrastructure projects — including airport expansion, new roads, branded hotels, and the planned $6 billion Emaar Gonio Marina development — are supporting long-term growth and international interest.
In 2025, 17,478 apartments were sold in Batumi, up 15% year on year, with total market volume exceeding $1.3 billion for the first time. New-build prices averaged $1,865 per sqm, an increase of 9.4% over the year. International buyers accounted for over 80% of all transactions in 2024, with the majority coming from the Middle East, Israel, and the EU.

FAQ
-
Can foreigners buy freehold in Batumi?
Yes—full freehold is open to foreign buyers in Batumi, with agricultural land as the sole legal exception.
-
Does purchasing property grant eligibility for a Georgian residence permit?
Yes. Purchasing non-agricultural real estate with an officially appraised market value of at least $100,000 USD entitles the buyer and their immediate family members (spouse and dependent children) to apply for a one-year renewable Short-Term Residence Permit. Holding this permit continuously can lead to permanent residency over time.
-
Can I purchase real estate remotely without traveling to Georgia?
Yes. A significant share of transactions in Batumi are executed remotely. You can grant a Power of Attorney (PoA) to our agency or a certified legal representative. The PoA must be notarized and apostilled (or legalized) in your country of residence, after which we can handle property selection, contract signing, and title registration on your behalf.
-
What rental yields (ROI) can investors expect in Batumi?
Well-located seafront apartments and managed aparthotels in high-demand districts (New Boulevard, Old Boulevard) typically generate 8% to 13% net annual rental yields. Returns are driven by peak international tourism between June and September, combined with steady mid-season business travel and digital nomad demand.
-
Can I pay for property using cryptocurrency or international wire transfers?
Yes. International SWIFT bank transfers in USD, EUR, or GEL are standard practice. In addition, many prominent developers in Batumi accept major cryptocurrencies (such as USDT, BTC, and ETH) via licensed payment processing partners, converting directly into local development escrow accounts.
-
Who manages the property and guest bookings if I live abroad?
Most modern residential and hotel-style complexes feature on-site international or local property management operators. Management packages typically operate on a revenue-share model (usually 70/30 or 80/20 in favor of the owner) and cover marketing on Booking.com and Airbnb, key exchange, 24/7 reception, housekeeping, utility payments, and monthly financial reporting.
