Batumi micro-locations
In Batumi, distance to the beach and the boulevard drives price — and, even more so, occupancy during the season. Between the front row and one street back, prices often differ by 20–30%.
This overview describes the relevant locations and which rental strategy each suits, without naming specific projects.
The market is structured by beach proximity: the front row at New Boulevard, the second row in Khimshiashvili, the city centre in Old Batumi, and outer areas along the airport corridor and in Gonio/Kvariati.
A sea view is a price factor in Batumi but not a sure thing: floor, orientation and whether the sightline can be built on all matter.
A 40 sqm apartment on New Boulevard for USD 68,000 earns USD 60–80 per night in season; over the year, with realistic occupancy, that works out to roughly 9–11% gross, and about 6–8% after management and tax.
| Location | Price per sqm (new build) | Strength | Seasonal dependence |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Boulevard | approx. USD 1,200–1,800 | holiday letting, sea view | high |
| Khimshiashvili | approx. USD 950–1,400 | price-to-location ratio | high |
| Old Batumi | approx. USD 900–1,500 | year-round demand | medium |
| Airport corridor | approx. USD 700–1,000 | entry price | high |
| Gonio & Kvariati | approx. USD 700–1,100 | quiet, nature | very high |
In summer, New Boulevard and the adjoining streets in Khimshiashvili, because guests book for beach proximity. Year-round, Old Batumi is steadier thanks to city demand.
For holiday letting, usually yes, since it lifts occupancy and nightly rates. But check whether the sightline is likely to stay clear long-term.
For buyers with a smaller budget focused on summer guests. Outside the season, demand there is the weakest.
