Cipriani to Debut an Ultra-Luxury Landmark at Sea Breeze, Azerbaijan

The legendary Italian hospitality brand Cipriani is set to debut an ultra-luxury destination within Sea Breeze, the world’s largest private development, through the creation of a five-star resort and branded residences housed in Azerbaijan’s tallest tower.

On January 31, an official signing ceremony was held in Milan, marking the partnership between Sea Breeze and Cipriani. The agreement was signed by Emin Agalarov, founder and owner of Sea Breeze, and Giuseppe Cipriani, representing the iconic family-owned brand.

Set on the artificial Halfmoon Island along the Caspian Sea coastline, the project will rise within Cipriani Tower, a 323-meter architectural landmark poised to redefine Azerbaijan’s skyline. The tower has been designed by world-renowned architect Shaun Killa, celebrated for his expressive, context-driven approach to contemporary high-rise architecture.

The development will feature Cipriani Resort Sea Breeze, a five-star hotel comprising 116 elegantly appointed rooms, alongside Cipriani Residences Sea Breeze, Baku — approximately 127 ultra-luxury, for-sale residences conceived to the highest international standards. Residents and guests will enjoy access to an exclusive collection of amenities, including refined banquet and conference spaces, a signature spa spanning approximately 1,647 sq. m, and Cipriani’s world-famous restaurants and bars.

“This partnership represents one of the most significant and anticipated milestones in Sea Breeze’s evolution. Collaborating with a brand as iconic as Cipriani marks a new chapter in our international positioning. I am grateful to Giuseppe and his team for their trust and look forward to bringing this exceptional project to life,” — Emin Agalarov.

“We are delighted to introduce Cipriani to a new and highly promising region. Azerbaijan offers remarkable cultural depth and growth potential. Shaun Killa’s architectural vision is outstanding — a tower of sculptural clarity that respects its context while establishing a new benchmark for the region,”— Giuseppe Cipriani.

The opening of Cipriani Resort Sea Breeze and Cipriani Residences Sea Breeze is scheduled for October 1, 2031.
