On August 1, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted Resolution No. 490, officially defining the parameters for implementing the all-season resort project Sea Breeze Uzbekistan and confirming the government’s readiness to cooperate with Agalarov Development based on openness, environmental responsibility, and a strategic approach to developing tourism infrastructure.
The document outlines the key provisions determining the scale, timeline, and principles of the project’s implementation:
  • The total area of the future resort will be 577 hectares, located in the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region.
  • The project implementation period is 2025–2035. The land plot is leased for 25 years with the possibility of extension.
  • The master plan of the resort will be developed by the international architectural company Scott Browning (United Kingdom).
  • The construction of all engineering infrastructure on the resort’s territory, including roads, sewage systems, networks, and treatment facilities, is entrusted to the Directorate of the Tourist and Recreational Zone, and the costs of their creation will be reimbursed by the investor.
Special attention in the resolution is devoted to environmental issues. In accordance with clause 5 of the document:
  • The discharge of waste into Charvak Lake is strictly prohibited;
  • The resort’s sewerage system must be connected to the wastewater treatment network of Chirchiq city;
  • Compliance with environmental requirements is monitored not only by relevant agencies but also by the General Prosecutor’s Office and the State Security Service.
  • Agalarov Development guarantees full compliance with all the requirements set forth in the government resolution.
“We fully understand our responsibility and have always planned to implement this project in accordance with approved environmental regulations. Discharge into Charvak Lake is impossible, neither technically nor legally. This is clearly stated in the documents and will be monitored by the state, as well as personally by me, on behalf of the investor company,”  noted Emin Agalarov, President of Agalarov Development.
Currently, preparatory works are underway on the future resort territory: cleaning the shoreline and removing accumulated waste. Construction work will begin only after receiving a positive conclusion from the state environmental expertise, as required by the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The Sea Breeze Uzbekistan project represents not only an investment in infrastructure but also a new model of dialogue between the developer, society, and nature.
“My ultimate goal is to make Sea Breeze resort the most environmentally friendly project in the world, wherever it is located. This is our way of proving that development can exist in harmony with nature. We are grateful to the people of Uzbekistan for their concern, attention, criticism, and support,”  emphasized Emin Agalarov.
Agalarov Development is an international development company implementing next-generation projects across the CIS, Europe, and Asia. Its portfolio includes over 60 projects, including the flagship Sea Breeze Baku resort on the Caspian Sea coast.
Sea Breeze Uzbekistan will become the first area in the country to introduce comprehensive environmental and engineering solutions in accordance with the highest international standards.

Resolution on the implementation of the Sea Breeze Uzbekistan project adopted
On June 10, during the Tashkent Investment Forum, Agalarov Development signed an agreement with the Ministry of Investment, Industry, and Trade of Uzbekistan to explore prospects for promoting the tourism industry in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The first phase involves developing 100 hectares of land—with residential properties, hotels, villas, and restaurants—on the shores of the Charvak Reservoir in the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region as part of the construction of the all-season resort Sea Breeze Uzbekistan.

"In December 2024, the project was presented to the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who noted the need for thorough development and instructed the creation of a commission headed by the Prime Minister to develop the legal framework for the project's implementation and to assist in resolving infrastructure issues." In April of this year, the President also reviewed a presentation of the master plan, developed with the participation of several foreign companies. The total project area will be 577 hectares.

The tourist center will be located on both banks of the Charvak Reservoir, 80 km from the capital of Uzbekistan. As part of the development project, a bridge will be built connecting Sea Breeze Uzbekistan to major highways, reducing travel time from Tashkent to one hour. Sea Breeze Uzbekistan will make a significant contribution to Uzbekistan's tourism and economic development, building on the company's existing experience in Azerbaijan.

One of the project's most important goals is to develop Uzbekistan's tourism potential. The key objective of Agalarov Development is to implement infrastructure projects based on advanced environmental solutions. For over 18 years, the company's President, Emin Agalarov, has been involved in the construction and development of Sea Breeze's infrastructure on the Caspian coast. Environmental control and monitoring are implemented at all stages of construction, waste is processed and disposed of, wastewater is treated through specialized facilities, and the collected materials are sent for recycling, promoting environmental safety and the rational use of resources.

Over 10 million trees have been planted within the Sea Breeze project, creating favorable conditions for wildlife: animals and birds live here in a completely comfortable natural environment. In the Sea Breeze Uzbekistan project, the company also intends to showcase unprecedented environmental and construction solutions for the Uzbek real estate market.

Agalarov Development has not yet begun construction on the shores of Lake Charvak; shoreline cleanup and waste collection are currently underway. According to Uzbek law, no construction work is possible without an environmental assessment from the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change, and authorized agencies of the Tashkent Region and Bostanlyk District.

The solutions developed by the company will be presented to all relevant agencies in accordance with established procedures, and any construction work will begin only after receiving positive conclusions from the state environmental assessment.

The company plans to engage renowned Uzbek architects, engineers, and public figures in project discussions. Wastewater treatment is a key aspect of the construction approach, and a comprehensive range of solutions is planned for this purpose. "It is known that the existing recreation areas and tourist complexes on the banks of the Charvak River are connected to a sewer system that discharges wastewater to the Chirchik treatment plant." These facilities are located significantly downstream from the water intake point for the Tashkent water supply system. Connecting Sea Breeze Uzbekistan to this system is being considered.

Agalarov Development recognizes its responsibility for the corresponding increase in capacity and timely reconstruction. Most of the treated water will be reused for irrigation of the Sea Breeze Uzbekistan territory and other economic purposes. Direct discharge of wastewater into the Charvak Reservoir is strictly prohibited and is not being considered during the project. Strict oversight will be established by government agencies of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Agalarov Development represents over 60 projects in the CIS countries, developing infrastructure facilities and building cities of the future. With expertise in modern, sustainable construction, the company employs a progressive and conscious approach, utilizing modern technologies and providing smart infrastructure, implementing projects worldwide. The Sea Breeze Uzbekistan project fully meets these values.

Agalarov Development: A new level of environmental standards for the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region
On July 2, during his state visit to Azerbaijan, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, together with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, visited the Sea Breeze resort.
The founder of Sea Breeze, Emin Agalarov, informed the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan about the ongoing and upcoming development projects within the resort.
Emin Agalarov also presented the updated master plan concept of Sea Breeze Uzbekistan, located on the Charvak Lake.

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited Sea Breeze
The Sea Breeze resort, which has already become a symbol of modern development on the Caspian Sea coast in Azerbaijan, has announced an ambitious mission — to become the most environmentally friendly resort in every country where the brand is represented.
Today, Sea Breeze welcomed a delegation from Uzbekistan, including representatives of the Ministry of Ecology, the State Environmental Expertise Center, as well as bloggers and journalists. The key principles that underpin the project in Azerbaijan and will be adapted for the construction of the new resort on the Charvak Lake were announced to the guests..
“I want Sea Breeze to become the most environmentally friendly project in any country — whether it’s Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Montenegro, or Kazakhstan. And this is not just PR — it’s a business necessity. Without clean beaches, parks, boulevards, and quality infrastructure and communications, I simply couldn’t sell real estate here. Everything I build must be not only beautiful but also sustainable, beneficial for the region,” said Emin Agalarov, founder and owner of Sea Breeze.
In Azerbaijan, Sea Breeze undergoes environmental assessments at every stage of construction. Water and soil are regularly tested, and all engineering systems are closely monitored. In 2024, the resort was connected to a centralized sewerage system that now serves not only the Sea Breeze territory but the entire 50-kilometer coastal zone and surrounding districts. Previously, over a hundred local treatment facilities were used. Now, fresh water is supplied from centralized sources, and wastewater is discharged through modern collectors without polluting the sea. Thanks to this systematic approach and eco-oriented infrastructure, Sea Breeze beaches are recognized as some of the cleanest on the Azerbaijani coast.
One of the project’s key features is the relocation of the construction line 400–500 meters away from the shoreline to preserve a wide public coastal area. Instead of the minimum permitted 50 meters, the space is used for parks, promenades, restaurants, and open access to the sea for everyone.
The same approach is planned for Charvak Lake, where issues of chaotic development, lack of centralized sewerage, and unsystematic waste collection have long affected the quality of the lake’s water. Sea Breeze has already proposed to the Ministry of Ecology the construction of a shared ring collector system that would collect and treat wastewater along the entire shoreline. According to Emin Agalarov, this solution is aimed not only at meeting the resort’s needs but also at improving the overall environmental condition of the area.
“We plan to implement the project in full compliance with international principles of environmental responsibility,”
added the developer.
“The Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Uzbekistan attaches great importance to projects based on the principles of sustainable development. Partners interested in developing the tourism sector in Uzbekistan are committed to green-based solutions, which is especially important for us. The Ministry, in turn, is ready to provide full support to initiatives implemented in accordance with environmental standards. The initiator of the Sea Breeze project has confirmed readiness to follow all recommendations of international and local experts participating in the environmental review to eliminate risks during the design and implementation phases. Particular attention must be paid to obtaining a qualified expert opinion on the project’s feasibility, including assessment of possible risks and mitigation strategies, in order to prevent even minimal harm to Tashkent’s most important water resource — Charvak Lake,” said Aziz Abdukhakimov, Minister of Ecology of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
As part of the project, Sea Breeze will initiate the creation of an International Environmental Council with the participation of independent experts. The council will conduct a public environmental assessment and further monitoring of the territory.
According to Firuza Sultan-zade, PhD in Ecology, head of the Social-Ecological Center EcoSphere and founder of Azerbaijan’s Green Network, sustainable development today is not a trend but a necessity — and the Sea Breeze project is moving in the right direction. International specialists will be involved in evaluation and monitoring to ensure transparency and accountability at all stages.
“It is important to understand that if the project is implemented in full compliance with environmental standards, it can become a model of green tourism and sustainable development in Central Asia — creating jobs, bringing infrastructure investment, and drawing attention to the importance of protecting Charvak Lake,”
emphasized Firuza Sultan-zade.
At Charvak Lake territory, the project envisions a sustainable zoning model that includes preservation and restoration of the green balance, tree inventory, relocation and planting, and the creation of new green corridors. The project will use environmentally certified building materials and energy-efficient technologies adapted to the region’s landscape and climate.
It will feature open public spaces, eco-routes, boulevards, and promenades. Beaches will be divided into free and paid zones, but both will offer the same high level of comfort and amenities. The first development phase will cover 100 hectares out of a total plan of 570, and the entire 5.5 km shoreline of the resort represents only a small percentage of Charvak’s 95-kilometer coastline.
“For me, it’s important to take a systematic approach to eco-friendly development — in every region where Sea Breeze appears. That’s why I’m creating a universal model that can work by lakes, seas, or in the mountains. And yes, I truly want Sea Breeze to become the most environmentally friendly resort in the world,”
concluded Emin Agalarov.
