Ambassadori Island Batumi, the first artificial island development in the Black Sea, is entering the global investment stage with a next-generation urban vision developed in collaboration with engineering leader Arup. The initiative signals a strategic shift in the region’s coastal development, combining advanced infrastructure and sustainable planning to attract international investment and redefine urban living on the Black Sea coast.

Spanning 84 hectares, Ambassadori Island Batumi brings together residential, hospitality, retail, and marina facilities, developed by Ambassadori Group in partnership with SHoP Architects and Yüksel Proje. The first residential tower, with 1,350 apartments across 58 floors, marks the initial phase of a broader masterplan, which is guided by four strategic pillars:

  • Implementing climate-resilient infrastructure aligned with international standards.
  • Creating adaptive urban environments that respond to residents’ and visitors’ needs.
  • Providing data-driven tools for construction, long-term operations, and city management.
  • Delivering services and infrastructure on par with leading international smart districts.

Batumi’s strategic position along the Black Sea corridor, between Europe and Asia, has attracted growing international attention, further reinforced by Georgia’s EU candidate status in December 2023. Tourism and real estate growth support the region’s investment potential: in 2025, Georgia recorded 7.8 million international visitors, a 5.9 % increase year-on-year, including 5.8 million international arrivals, up 7 % from 2024. 

“Our goal is to create a city where digital intelligence, sustainable infrastructure, and human-centered design converge to deliver a truly future-ready environment for residents, investors, and global partners.” – said Gocha Kamkia, CEO of Ambassadori Island Batumi.
