Luxury is available: seaside real estate in Georgia.

In Batumi on the shore of the Black Sea you can buy a modern, fully finished apartment within walking distance of the beach — prices start from 50 000 USD. This is not a 'country compromise', but an urban seaside format with full infrastructure, promenades, cafés and leisure zones.

Why this matters for Israelis

Seaside property in Israel is a luxury and out of reach for most. That’s why many Israelis look to Batumi as a realistic option: here you can live 365 days a year, fly in during summer to enjoy your own apartment, and rent it out the rest of the time to partially cover costs. The market is developing, and prices for quality waterfront properties tend to rise.

What to consider when choosing

• Location and sea access: 100–300 meters to the beach, convenient approaches, well-maintained surroundings.
• Completion and finish: turnkey without additional investment, or a clear estimate for final works.
• Documents: cadastral code, utility codes, absence of debts and encumbrances.
• Economics: seasonal rental, occupancy off-season, maintenance costs, price growth forecasts.

Major coastal projects

Alongside conventional coastal development, large-scale initiatives are underway to transform Batumi’s shoreline with waterfront residential districts, promenades, parks and a marina (yacht harbor). For buyers this means a stronger location profile, new attractions and additional infrastructure near the home.

How to act to avoid mistakes

1. Define your criteria: budget, distance to the sea, floor level, view characteristics.
2. Shortlist 3–5 options in the catalog: review floorplans, photos and 3D tours.
3. Verify legal details: ask the broker for cadastral and utility codes and certificates of no outstanding debts.
4. Make a short trip: final inspections, agree on price and terms, submit documents to the House of Justice.

Islands under construction in Batumi: Ambassadori Island Batumi

Ambassadori Island Batumi is the largest coastal development project in Georgia: two artificial peninsulas and one island totaling around 84 hectares off Batumi’s coast. The concept is a “city within a city”: residential apartments, hotels, promenades, retail and recreational zones, parks and a marina (yacht harbor). The project is being developed in phases and is already under construction.

• Format: an artificial island plus two peninsulas, a new coastal district with its own infrastructure.
• Infrastructure: a yacht marina, private beach, promenades, retail, entertainment and sports facilities, green spaces.
• Status: works are carried out in stages; some areas have already been commissioned with land allocation and site preparation for further construction.
• Official resources: islandambassadori.com, ambassadori-island.com.

For coastal buyers, this means an enhanced location profile, more points of attraction and a long-term investment perspective: properties near a new marina and promenades typically retain liquidity and appreciate better over the long term.

Bottom line: in Batumi it is realistic to buy a turnkey apartment by the sea on an affordable budget and use it for living, holidays and rental. This is not about luxury — it’s an opportunity worth taking in time.
