Off-plan projects in Gonio, Batumi, sit at genuinely different construction stages: Batumi Yachts & Marina is a decade-long masterplan still in its early phases, NEXT Gardens has a published starting price but no construction status update, and Radisson Blu Residences Gonio is already under construction with a handover confirmed for May 2027.

Batumi Yachts & Marina: the longest horizon

Developed by Eagle Hills Georgia, a joint venture with Eagle Hills of Abu Dhabi holding 66.7% alongside the Georgian state, this masterplan spans roughly 260 hectares, with a 180-berth marina and yacht club, a beach, lagoons and a promenade. More than 9,300 apartments, 150 villas and 110 townhouses are announced, delivered by phases over roughly a decade. Price is on request; the published payment plan is 10% at purchase, 30% during construction across three 10% instalments, and 60% on handover.

NEXT Gardens: priced, but construction stage unconfirmed

NEXT Gardens offers apartments with an optional renovated finish, in a beachfront tower with vegetated terraces, prices published in both USD and GEL starting from 65,000 USD. Parking spaces are purchased separately as an option. Neither a payment plan nor a confirmed construction stage is published for this project.

Radisson Blu Residences Gonio: the clearest timeline of the three

Radisson Blu Residences Gonio is fully furnished, offering studio, one bedroom, one bedroom "lux" and two bedroom units under the Radisson Blu brand, starting from 149,500 USD. The payment plan is confirmed at 20% on first payment, 40% through instalments, 40% on handover, with completion targeted for May 2027, the most specific and nearest-term date of the three.

Why construction visibility matters as much as price

A buyer choosing purely on starting price might pick NEXT Gardens, the cheapest of the three, but with no confirmed construction stage or handover date, the actual wait is harder to plan around than Radisson Blu Residences Gonio's clearly dated May 2027 completion. Batumi Yachts & Marina sits at the opposite extreme: a far larger undertaking whose scale brings different risks tied to a multi-year rollout rather than a single building's timeline.

Why Gonio attracts such different scales of project

Gonio sits along Batumi's coastline south of the city centre, close to the Wynn Al Marjan Island announcement across the border in Ras Al Khaimah's sphere of influence rather than directly connected to it. The district draws both large masterplan developers like Eagle Hills and smaller, single-building releases like NEXT Gardens, which explains why the three projects here differ so much in scale rather than only in price.

What a buyer should ask before committing to any of the three

For Batumi Yachts & Marina, the key question is which specific phase of the decade-long rollout your unit belongs to, since early and late phases carry different levels of certainty. For NEXT Gardens, it's whether a renovated finish costs more than the base starting price. For Radisson Blu Residences Gonio, it's confirming current unit availability given the project's more advanced construction stage.

What none of these three confirm

None of the three fiches publish a Georgian bank mortgage rate, a loan-to-value figure, or a named lender for non-resident buyers. Developer-published instalment plans, where they exist, remain the only confirmed financing route across all three.

Registration regardless of which project you choose

Whichever of these Gonio projects you buy into, title registration is handled by Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), and the processing fee scales with speed: 150 GEL if you can wait four working days, 270 GEL for next-day turnaround, or 350 GEL when the filing needs to clear the same day.
