Far more than a nightlife spot, Reflector is where people gather to express themselves, celebrate equality, and champion important social issues. It’s a community where music amplifies voices, where freedom is celebrated, and where meaningful connections are formed through shared experiences and passions.
A Day-Trip Adventure to Martvili

Start your day with a boat ride through the turquoise waters of Martvili Canyon, surrounded by breathtaking cliffs and lush greenery. Nearby, the serene beauty of Abhesi Waterfall is a must-see.
Adventure seekers can soar over the canyon on exhilarating ziplines or plunge into crystal-clear river pools, embracing nature’s playground. Afterward, indulge in mouthwatering local Megrelian dishes at Odo’s Marani, tasting regional specialties like cheesy Elarji and spicy Kharcho.
Extend your day by returning through Nokalakevi, stopping at natural swimming spots along the Tekhuri River or exploring the impressive ruins of the ancient fortress town—a perfect blend of relaxation and historical intrigue.
Escape to the Mountains of Racha
For those who dream of mountain tranquility, Racha is the perfect escape. Famous for its world-class Khvanchkara wine, Ambrolauri invites visitors to vineyards bathed in golden sunlight and cozy stays like Flora Racha Cottages or Dakidula Hotel.
Further into Oni, charming mountain villages like Ghebi and Mravaldzali seem untouched by time. Here, authentic homestays welcome travelers seeking quiet reflection and picturesque landscapes.
