Mardi Aquapark is a residential and hotel-operated resort complex developed by Mardi Holding in the Makhinjauri district of Batumi, on Georgia’s Black Sea coast. According to the developer’s project site, it is marketed as “Mercure Aquapark Batumi”, an all-inclusive resort with apartments operated under Accor’s Mercure brand.
Sources differ on several details (price, number of floors and units, completion date), so the figures below are attributed to the source that states them. The developer notes that prices, areas and dates are indicative and subject to change.
The complex is listed at Akhalgazrdoba Street, Makhinjauri, Batumi (the developer’s site gives no. 3; one portal also shows no. 10). The developer’s project site gives these distances:
A water park is part of the resort on the complex’s own site, according to the developer and the Accor announcement.
About 5 minutes to a private beach, with a shuttle service.
About 5 minutes to Batumi Botanical Garden and about 10 minutes to a natural hot-springs complex.
About 15 minutes to Batumi city centre.
Listing portals give differing distances to the sea (about 250–500 m); the developer gives a travel time rather than a distance.
These are the developer’s stated travel times and have not been independently measured.
According to the developer’s project site, the apartments have the following features:
Apartments are described as fully furnished, with air conditioning and a kitchenette.
Balconies start from about 4 m² in the studio and one-bedroom types.
Block A of the project comprises 113 residences; listing portals cite other totals (for example 472 residences, or 16–31 floors), so the final configuration should be confirmed.
The developer’s project site lists three apartment types, with starting prices in euros:
Studio – from 28 m², from €72,000.
One-bedroom – from 49 m², from €128,100.
Two-bedroom – from 88 m², from €240,352.
Third-party portals list studios of roughly 30–45 m² (the largest studio plans shown are 41.75 m²) and quote different starting prices (for example from $50,868 to $75,300 for studios); the figures above are the developer’s and may change.
The developer’s project site lists these resort amenities:
Aquapark with slides, pools and family areas
Wellness and spa, with a shuttle to hot springs
Three restaurants, two bars and a rooftop
Tennis and basketball courts, jogging tracks and a gym
A children’s centre and kids club
The developer states that the site covers 20,000 m².
The developer’s project site describes the following arrangement:
Each apartment enters Accor’s hotel rental pool under a 10-year management contract.
Revenue is split 60% to the owner and 40% to Accor, with Accor covering operating expenses.
Owners receive three free weeks per year of resort access.
These are the developer’s stated terms, not guaranteed returns: no income, occupancy or price-growth figure is published, and the signed contract governs. The developer does not give an operating history, as the complex is not yet complete.
According to listing portal Korter:
Transport – Tamar Mepe Avenue about 250 m, a bus stop about 300 m and Makhinjauri railway station about 610 m away (another portal gives 730 m to the station)
Sea – about 300 m to the beach
Foreign citizens can own non-agricultural property in Georgia; restrictions apply mainly to agricultural land.
The developer’s site states “you own the property” but does not describe the title type or legal structure of hotel-operated units; check the sale contract and the Public Registry extract.
Residence permit by property: since 1 March 2026 the threshold is USD 150,000 (previously USD 100,000), based on an accredited appraiser’s market valuation rather than the purchase price. See our guide to getting a residence permit in Georgia.
