In the beginning of the 20th century, Armenians were forced to leave their lands and scatter around the world, fleeing a certain death. They found shelter in the mountains of Lebanon, and warmth in the goodness of its people.

Mayri is the Armenian translation of the Cedar tree. It symbolizes resilience and immortality, two of the main characteristics of the Armenian diaspora.

Our mission is to create a haven for the Lebanese-Armenian diaspora by encouraging them to go back to their ancestral country and grow roots in their own motherland.

Mayri is a community that brings together hundreds of Armenian families in order to establish new beginnings, invest and prosper in a breathtaking natural setting just outside of the capital Yerevan.

Armenian families have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a home on their own land, lead a good life in a healthy environment with like-minded people, while reveling in the magnificence of Mount Ararad-Massis.

Mayri is the realization of a century-long dream, the dream of building back the Armenia we long for.
