Sea Breeze Resort did not emerge overnight — it is a project that has been developing for two decades. Here is the central timeline of its growth.

2006: The Establishment

The project opened in 2006 in the village of Nardaran, on the shores of the Caspian Sea, by Emin Agalarov, as an initial-scale resort project.

Years of Expansion

Over the years, the project has grown significantly, reaching its current size of about 500 hectares — including over 6 km of maintained beach and 150 hectares of green areas.

2023-2024: Establishment of the International Expansion Company

During these years, the international framework was formed under the brand Agalarov Development, through which the expansion beyond the borders of Azerbaijan is also taking place (see future development pipeline).
