Buying an apartment in NEXT Gardens Batumi is usually considered by those looking for a seaside property with a clear rental logic and a calmer resort environment than in dense urban development. The project solves two tasks at once: it offers a format for personal leisure use and at the same time works well as a purchase for rental income, because it is located in Gonio-Kvariati, 50 meters from the beach, and combines a coastal setting with on-site infrastructure that matters for short-term stays. This is exactly the type of development in Batumi that often outperforms standard residential buildings when a buyer is choosing not just square meters, but a specific use scenario for the property.
About the project
NEXT Gardens is a 16-storey apartment complex by Next Group on Andria Pirveltsodebuli Highway, 93a, with scheduled completion in December 2027. The project is designed for resort-style use: the complex includes studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses, while the overall concept is built around seaside living, panoramic views, and a service-oriented environment within the building. In the Batumi market, this is not a standard “for everyone” new-build, but a product with a narrower and clearer positioning — for buying by the coast, seasonal living, and rental use.
From a market perspective, NEXT Gardens is closer to the investment-premium segment. The reason is not a formal label, but the combination of characteristics: first coastline, Gonio-Kvariati, ceiling heights of up to 3.3 meters, panoramic glazing, a view-oriented format, and infrastructure that strengthens the property’s resort appeal. In Batumi, the liquidity of coastal projects is usually driven by the combination of location and convenience for temporary stays, and here that combination is expressed quite clearly.
The developer context also matters. Next Group is developing several projects in Georgia, including NEXT Apartments, NEXT Collection, NEXT Address, Wyndham Residences, and Radisson Blu Residences. For a buyer, this reduces the perception of a “standalone” property with no track record behind it: NEXT Gardens is part of a portfolio created by a company already active in the resort and branded real estate segment.
Location and area
The project is located in Gonio-Kvariati, the southern coastal part of Batumi chosen not for its urban rhythm, but for the sea, the views, and a more relaxed environment. This is an important distinction from the New Boulevard area and the central part of the city. If demand in the urban zone is more strongly tied to everyday life, business activity, and year-round living, then in Gonio-Kvariati the stronger scenario is leisure, second-home ownership by the sea, and seasonal rental. That is why the area attracts buyers who want exactly a resort format rather than just an apartment within Batumi.
Distance to the sea is one of the main liquidity factors for a project like this. At NEXT Gardens, the beach is only 50 meters away, and this is a practical advantage rather than a decorative feature. In Batumi’s coastal areas, real proximity to the water influences tenant interest more strongly than simply being located in a seaside district. The easier the walk to the beach, the easier it is for the property to compete in short-term rentals, and the clearer its positioning becomes compared to standard buildings on the second or third line.
Complex infrastructure
The project includes a rooftop infinity pool, fitness area, sauna, coworking space, commercial premises, garden, lobby, parking, 24/7 security, and reception. For a seaside apartment complex, this is a strong infrastructure package because it supports not only the owner’s comfort, but also the property’s competitiveness in the rental market. The pool, sauna, and fitness area reinforce the resort lifestyle scenario, while the lobby, reception, and commercial units make everyday living more convenient. The coworking space also looks relevant: demand in Batumi is steadily growing for formats where leisure can be combined with remote work, and details like this already influence tenant choice.
Layouts and prices
The project offers studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses. A 32.9 sq.m studio is available from $2,300 per sq.m, while the NEXT Gardens line within Next Group starts from $65,000. This price range confirms that the complex is aimed not only at owner-occupiers, but also at buyers seeking an investment entry through compact units. In Batumi, studios and small one-bedroom apartments usually remain the most convenient lots for rental and future resale, because they appeal to a broader audience and offer a lower entry threshold. Payment terms should be уточнены.
Investment appeal
The investment logic of NEXT Gardens is based on three pillars: a resort location by the sea, an apartment format, and the construction stage. While the project is still under development, the buyer enters before commissioning, which means they are evaluating not only the future rental scenario, but also the potential for value growth as the building progresses toward completion. In Batumi, this is a working model: seaside properties with clear infrastructure and understandable positioning are sold not as abstract real estate, but as a ready-made way to use the city and benefit from tourist demand.
The main tenant profile here is clear in advance: tourists, seasonal visitors, buyers of a second home by the sea, and remote professionals who value a coastal lifestyle more than being in the city center. Because of this, rental demand is not formed by just one category of client. This is an important point for an investor: the wider the range of use scenarios, the more stable interest in the property remains outside the peak summer season. For this format, a medium- to long-term investment horizon is the logical approach — not for a quick resale, but as a purchase into resort real estate with a clearly defined specialization.
For foreign buyers, purchasing apartments in Georgia remains technically accessible in general: restrictions mainly apply to certain categories of land rather than residential property of this type. This makes entry into the project understandable for non-residents considering Batumi as a market for personal use or seaside investment. The legal details of the transaction and the ownership format should be clarified for the specific unit.

Who it suits
For investors, NEXT Gardens works as a resort asset with a clear rental model. For personal living, the project is a logical choice for those who want a home by the sea in a quieter part of Batumi. For relocation, it is better suited as a second home or a property for seasonal living than as a classic city apartment for everyday life. For passive income, compact apartments look the most rational, because they enter the rental market more easily and remain the clearest option in terms of demand.
