Apartment Prices in Batumi in 2026: Cost per Square Meter

How much does a square meter cost in Batumi?

The short answer: within a single city the price per square meter varies three and a half times, so the question makes no sense without specifying the class and location. Based on real project price lists as of autumn 2026, the picture looks like this. The affordable segment is roughly $1,200 per square meter: projects aimed at investors with a small budget, usually not on the first line from the sea, where a studio of 40-50 square meters comes to $30,000-60,000. The mid segment is $1,650-1,750 per square meter: complexes with amenities, pools and landscaping, compact studios from 30 square meters, with entry prices from $45,000. Upper-mid is around $2,100-2,200 per square meter: high-rise projects with views and services, layouts from studios to 3-room apartments. Branded residences are around $4,200 per square meter, where a 35-40 square meter studio costs from $100,000. In other words, the market starts at about $30,000 and goes up to a million for a penthouse.

Batumi is a market where the price per square meter varies three and a half times within one city. That is why the question "how much does an apartment in Batumi cost?" makes no sense without specifying the class and location. Below are figures from the real price lists of the projects we work with, as of autumn 2026.

Price ranges by class

Affordable segment: roughly $1,200 per m². Projects aimed at investors with a small budget, usually not on the first line from the sea. A studio of about 40-50 m² comes to around $30,000-60,000.

Mid segment: $1,650-1,750 per m². Complexes with amenities, pools and landscaping. Compact studios from 30 m², with entry prices from $45,000.

Upper-mid segment: around $2,100-2,200 per m². High-rise projects with views and services, and a wide choice of layouts from studios to 3-room apartments.

Branded residences: around $4,200 per m². The level of an international hotel brand, with professional management and service. A 35-40 m² studio costs from $100,000.

So the Batumi market starts at roughly $30,000 for a small studio and goes up to a million for a penthouse.

What drives the price

1. Distance to the sea. The first line is more expensive than the second, and the second more than the third. But "sea view" and "first line" are not the same thing: from a high floor deeper in the block you often see the sea better than from the third floor right on the seafront. 2. Floor. In a seaside city the difference between floors is bigger than usual: higher means further from the noise and a better view. 3. Brand and management. Having a hotel operator adds noticeably to the price, in exchange for the promise of service and occupancy. 4. Construction stage. It is cheaper at the foundation stage, and the price rises towards completion. This is the core logic of investing in Batumi. 5. Finish. White frame (bare shell), green frame (pre-finish) or turnkey: these mean different prices and different waiting times before you can move in.

Apartment sizes

A particular feature of Batumi is that the market is geared towards small units. The median size in popular complexes is 32-48 m², meaning studios and compact 1-room apartments. There are noticeably fewer 2- and 3-room apartments, and they sell faster because people buy them to live in, not to rent out.

If you are looking for a family home, the choice will be narrower, but the price per square meter in larger layouts is usually a little lower.

The resale market

Resale apartments in Batumi are cheaper than new builds in a comparable location, but you need to pay attention to the condition of the building and its utilities.

Where prices are heading

Batumi has gone through a period of rapid growth, and the market is now more selective: buyers compare projects with each other rather than taking whatever is available. The gap between quality projects with real service and "concrete boxes" has widened, and this is felt first of all when you resell.

That is why focusing only on the lowest price per square meter is risky: a cheap entry often means a difficult exit.

How to calculate the full budget

On top of the apartment price, add: fit-out and furniture if you buy a shell; the transaction costs; the monthly maintenance fee of the complex; taxes. Only then compare projects with each other.
