On June 25 yet another five star hotel joined the ranks of luxury accommodation possibilities in Georgia. Castello Mare, located just 17 kilometers away from Batumi city, was opened on the Black Sea coast, in Tsikhisdziri village.

The complex, which consists of a hotel and wellness resort, is a USD 25 million investment project.

The hotel, which has a conference hall, tennis court, billiards, bowling and diving school also offers something extra special to its guests- a trip directly down to the beach on modern elevators.

There are 90 rooms of eight different categories available, all of which boast a sea view. Also available on the complex is a spa center, recreational zone with sports hall, a Jacuzzi, indoor and outdoor pools, several types of sauna, cosmetic rooms, and a beauty salon with about 100 fitness and therapeutic procedures.

Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, attended the opening ceremony. In his speech Kvirikashvili underlined that the USD 25 million project will support the development of tourism in the region and create much-needed working places.

"This is a beautiful and absolutely unique resort and recreational complex. The building perfectly fits into this beautiful and historic area, just like a chameleon. This is a complex which gives even more value to an already beautiful landscape,” said Kvirikashvili.

He went on to underline that the investor Soso Orjonikidze, a Georgian born businessman, gained his capital aboard.

“However, he decided to invest the money he earned in his home country. Besides this USD 25 million hotel, he has ambitious plans for developing the adjoining area as well,” the PM stated.
