Gonio in Batumi for a Buyer From Russia: The Five Projects
Gonio holds five projects in Orven's Batumi collection, from the large Batumi Yachts and Marina masterplan to branded towers under Radisson Blu and Wyndham. What each one publishes, with a compliance-led process throughout.
Gonio is the beachfront area south of central Batumi where five of Orven's Batumi projects sit side by side: NEXT Gardens, Pontus Rotana Resort and Spa, Radisson Blu Residences Gonio, Wyndham Residences Batumi, and the much larger Batumi Yachts and Marina masterplan. For a buyer from Russia comparing these five, this guide sets out what each one publishes.
Why Gonio concentrates so much of the collection
Gonio's beachfront position, and its growing cluster of international hospitality names, Radisson Blu, Wyndham and Rotana among them, draws a different buyer than the city-centre setting of Old Batumi or the New Boulevard. Several of these projects pair a recognised hotel brand with furnished, ready-to-rent units, a combination that suits a buyer who wants less post-handover work than a white frame project elsewhere in the collection would require.
NEXT Gardens: entry-level, two currencies
NEXT Gardens, developed by NEXT Group, starts from USD 65,000, published in both US dollars and Georgian lari, with a renovated finish option and parking sold separately. Payment plan and delivery date are both on request.
Pontus Rotana Resort and Spa: a pooled operator model
Pontus Rotana, operated under the Rotana name with more than 832 keys, is built around an instalment structure spread over 15 months, with delivery announced for 2027. Pontus Development describes a pooled rental model across the resort, without a published yield or occupancy figure; price is on request.
Radisson Blu Residences Gonio: furnished, with a published price
Radisson Blu Residences Gonio, developed by NEXT Group, starts from USD 149,500 on a 20/40/40 plan, fully furnished, with delivery announced for May 2027.
Wyndham Residences Batumi: the lowest down payment with a confirmed price
Wyndham Residences Batumi, also by NEXT Group, starts from USD 151,200, fully furnished, with a 10% down payment, 50% in further instalments and the balance on completion, delivery announced for December 2026, the nearest-dated handover among Gonio's branded towers.
Batumi Yachts and Marina: the largest masterplan in the collection
Batumi Yachts and Marina, developed by Eagle Hills Georgia, a joint venture between Eagle Hills of Abu Dhabi and the Georgian state, spans a masterplan of 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 planned, alongside two announced five-star hotels, delivered in phases over roughly a decade. Price is on request; the published payment plan runs 10% at purchase, 30% during construction in three instalments of 10% each, and 60% on handover.

Georgia's residence permit across Gonio
Georgia's law on the legal status of foreigners, article 15(j), opens a short-term residence permit, renewable one year at a time, to a foreign owner, a spouse and children, once a certified expert values the property above USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL. Wyndham Residences Batumi's USD 151,200 entry price sits just above that figure; Radisson Blu Residences Gonio's USD 149,500 sits just below. In both cases, what counts is the certified expert's valuation, not the catalogue price, always subject to conditions confirmed with the authorities.
Documenting your funds, the same way across all five
Whichever Gonio project you choose, Orven's compliance process requests documentation showing the source of your funds before any reservation proceeds, with payment made from a bank account in your own name, checked by the bank and the developer. A file with incomplete or unclear documentation can be declined at this stage, and no third-party payer arrangement is used for any of these projects.
Working with Orven across Gonio
Orven requests current pricing, payment terms and delivery estimates from each developer named here, and confirms the compliance documentation required before you reserve. See our overview of Gonio and the district's projects, our guide to buying an apartment in Batumi as a Russian citizen and our general guide to source of funds and KYC for Dubai property for the same documentation principle applied to Dubai. Orven's Russia page covers the compliance-led process for buyers coming from Russia.
