About us

Two friends, a garden, and the Colchis coast

Nomad Garden grew out of another garden. Its sister project, Shanti Garden, is a quiet place to stay in Mandrem, Goa — and the same idea travelled west with us to the Georgian coast.

Max and Alex run it together: one tends the garden and the guests, the other keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes. We wanted a place near Poti that wasn't a hotel and wasn't a parking lot — somewhere you could actually stop, breathe, and then go find the water.

It's small on purpose. You'll usually find one of us around, ready to point you toward the sea, lend a paddleboard, or just leave you to your coffee in the shade.
