Discover Georgia’s Best-Kept Secret
Escape the tourist trail to Doberazeni, a hidden mountain paradise tucked in the Tekhuri River valley. Swim in crystal-clear pools, hike wild trails, and experience the warmth of authentic village life—just a scenic drive from Kutaisi.
Our village Doberazeni
Tucked away in the breathtaking Tekhuri River valley in the Samegrelo region, the small mountain village of Doberazeni feels like one of western Georgia’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by steep forested hills, dramatic limestone cliffs, and the ever-present sound of the rushing Tekhuri River, it offers untouched natural beauty that most travellers only dream of discovering.
Here the air is pure, the nights are lit by a sky full of stars, and life moves at the gentle pace of the mountains. Doberazeni is far from the tourist trail – no large hotels, no noisy bars, just a handful of family homes, grazing cows, and endless green meadows. This is authentic Georgian mountain life: waking to roosters, drinking crystal-clear spring water, and sharing meals made from ingredients grown right outside the door.
Doberazeni and the Tekhuri River valley are a true paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers:
Crystal-clear river pools perfect for swimming on warm summer days
Well-marked hiking trails leading to hidden waterfalls and stunning viewpoints
Horseback riding across alpine meadows
Thrilling off-road routes deep into the wild mountains
Endless opportunities for photography, birdwatching, and simply unwinding in nature
Despite its peaceful, remote atmosphere, Doberazeni is surprisingly accessible – only a scenic 40-minute drive from Martvili Canyon and just over an hour from Kutaisi airport or the Black Sea coast.
When you stay with us in our family-run guesthouse, you’re not just a guest – you become part of the family and the village for a few truly unforgettable days.
