A personal welcome · from Ilyan
For fifteen years I worked inside the highest tier of Dubai hospitality — over a thousand openings, dozens of brand launches, eventually the founding of Eleven Spa inside Marriott Al Jaddaf. Almost every one of those projects was someone else's name on the door.
I cannot build a resort of this scale alone. I know that. But I can build the product. I can build a strong, working brand. Inside the Marriott spa I gathered the best protocols I could find — and I have walked a long road with this project, on this slope, for three years, to reach the point where I can invite an investor with confidence and show how far I have come.
What I intend to make is a micro-resort that the world talks about. Through my PR network in Dubai I can put BAGHI in front of the right rooms — international press, the wellness community, the small group of travellers who choose places by their quietness. The product is ready. The brand is ready. The protocols are ready.
What I am asking for now is investment — and I am ready for the dialogue. Read the brief below. Run the calculator. Then send the form, or reach me on WhatsApp directly. The full model, the cap table, the contracts — all of it is on the other side of one short conversation.

Current stage · May 2026
Land secured at a fixed-price option. All utilities laid. Technical building and the first guest Lodge commissioned and operational. The brand, the protocols, the program system, the supplier contracts — all in place. What remains is the physical scale-up from one operational Lodge to the full six-lodge property.
Spent on utilities, technical building, storage, covered area, and one fully furnished Lodge. All from the founder's own funds — visible, walkable proof.
A south-facing slope south-facing slope in Erge. Held under a fixed-price option; transfers into the LLC at investor closing.
To complete Phase 2, reach soft opening in May 2027, and carry working capital through to full launch in 2028.
$150 K founder + $45 K land + $780 K round = $975 K total deployed in Baghi Collection LLC. A modest amount for a wellness retreat at this scale and quality — the slope, the architecture, the protocols and the brand are already in place; the round funds the build-out, not the discovery.
What you actually own
There is no SPV layer, no fund, no convertible note. You enter directly into Baghi Collection LLC — a Georgian limited-liability company registered in Batumi — as a named partner with equity. That equity sits over the land, the buildings, the brand, and all future cash flows from the property.

For the partner
A named ownership share in Baghi Collection LLC, the Georgian company that holds the land, buildings, brand and revenue. No SPV. No fund layer.
The original ticket is returned ahead of founder operating distributions, until your full capital is paid back. Then a standard pro-rata split begins.
Sale of the property, major debt, change of brand or director — all require partner consent. The day-to-day operation remains with the founder.
From 2028, when steady occupancy is reached, distributions flow pro-rata after a small operating reserve is set aside each quarter.
Refinance into local debt after stabilisation, a trade sale to a regional hospitality operator, or a founder-led buyout at an agreed multiple. No forced exit.
Lifetime stays at a heavily reduced family rate. Name engraved on the founders' list at reception. Personal annual letter from the founder.

A quiet, illustrative model based on the round target of $780,000 for 60% of BAGHI Collection LLC, projected steady-state revenue of ≈$1.95M / year at full opening (six lodges · twelve guests · four programs), and the operating margins shown above. These are projections, not promises — the actual deal is shaped in a private call.
Assumptions: Steady-state revenue ≈ $1.95M / year (12 guests · 75% average occupancy · blended $1,950 / night per occupied lodge across programs and stays). Operating margin 35% after the wellness team, kitchen, housekeeping, energy, and maintenance. Dividends paid annually from year 2; year 1 reinvested in working capital. Year-5 exit illustrative at a 6× EBITDA multiple — Aman / Six Senses / Como benchmark range is 5–8×.
Note: These outputs are indicative, not contractual. Real returns depend on occupancy mix, program pricing, and operating ramp — the founder shares the full model under NDA via the form below.
