Guria is Georgia’s smallest western region, a narrow strip between the Black Sea coast and the foothills that climb toward Bakhmaro. Most visitors base themselves along the coastal belt around Shekvetili, known for its magnetic sand beaches and the nearby Black Sea arboretum, or further south near Ureki and Ozurgeti, where the pace slows and the sea gives way to tea plantations and hills. The region works well both as a beach stop on a longer Georgia itinerary and as a quiet base for exploring the highland pastures of Bakhmaro in summer.

This list was compiled by the GTour desk from the national register of licensed accommodation providers in Guria. Entries were selected on location, established presence in the register, and what each place offers a traveller — not on payment, advertising, or any ranking system. No property on this list has paid for inclusion, and GTour does not assign star ratings or scores; the order below is not a ranking.

1. Magnika Resort

Magnika Resort sits in Shekvetili / Kaprovani, Guria, on the Black Sea coast. The hotel offers cozy rooms and apartments, with attention given to detail in each space, making it a reasonable choice for travellers who want a straightforward seaside stay near Shekvetili.

2. Magnika Resort Villas

Magnika Resort Villas is the villa section of the same Shekvetili property, described as a family-oriented hotel located on the magnetic sands of the Black Sea. It suits families or groups looking for more private, self-contained accommodation close to the beach at Shekvetili.

3. Paragraph Resort & Spa Shekvetili

4. Ritsa Resort

Ritsa Resort is found at Ekvtime Takaishvili 143 b in Ureki, a coastal town known alongside Shekvetili for its magnetic sand beaches. It is described as a premium retreat destination, making it an option for travellers heading to the Ureki stretch of the Guria coast rather than Shekvetili itself.

5. Skijis Sakhli

Skijis Sakhli is a cottage property in Guria, listed in the national tourism register. It offers a simpler, self-contained style of stay for travellers who prefer a cottage setting over a larger resort.

6. Hotel Argo

7. Hotel Laguna Resort

Hotel Laguna Resort sits at 55 Nodar Dumbadze Street in Guria. Listed in the national tourism register, it is an option for visitors wanting a hotel stay in the region without the scale of the larger beachfront resorts.

8. kolkhida resort & spa

The property includes a first-floor space designed for around 120 people in a theatrical setting, with three supporting spaces for roughly 25 people each, pointing to a facility also used for events and gatherings alongside guest accommodation.

How to use this list

Use this list as a starting point rather than a final verdict: check current availability, exact distances to the beach or town centre, and any seasonal opening details directly with each property before booking. Travellers prioritising direct beach access in Shekvetili may look first at the Magnika and Paragraph properties, while those headed toward Ureki or inland Ozurgeti may find Ritsa Resort, Hotel Argo, Hotel Laguna Resort, or Skijis Sakhli more convenient; kolkhida resort & spa is worth noting if an event space is part of the requirement.
