This listing concerns a leasehold commercial premises operating as a night club in central Fuengirola, Málaga. The 207 m² venue is fully built, with a completion date of 1977 (indicative), and is offered at €180,000. The business currently runs as a karaoke and live music venue with a full disco licence permitting music and a legal capacity of 196 people. The property sits roughly four metres from the Fuengirola seafront and about one minute from the town's main square. The premises include two equipped bars, a DJ booth, a stage area, three storage rooms, sanitary facilities and two pool tables.
Within the immediate Fuengirola market, the closest comparable listing is Azure Homes, a residential development from €215,000, a price point only modestly above this leasehold, yet representing a fundamentally different asset: a freehold home versus a licensed business interest. Further along the coast, Estepona offers Acqua Gardens from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, both residential schemes that underline the gap between residential new-build pricing and commercial leasehold pricing on the Costa del Sol. For a nightlife business, however, the relevant comparison is not residential stock but other licensed venues. The listing states that full disco licences permitting music are rare in the Fuengirola area, which makes the licence itself, rather than the 207 m² of floor space, the scarce asset in this transaction. Regionally, Fuengirola competes with Marbella's Puerto Banús and Benalmádena's marina area for nightlife custom, but its combination of a permanent population of 85,000, 25 hotels with 8,085 beds and a train connection to Málaga airport gives the town centre a year-round demand base that more seasonal resorts lack. The municipal context, 2,391 property transactions, a median provincial income of €16,450 and a tourism-dependent economy, shapes both the opportunity and the risks: strong summer footfall against quieter winter months, and a customer base split between residents and visitors. Buyers weighing this listing against opening a new venue elsewhere should note that licence transfer in an existing, compliant premises avoids the permitting uncertainty that new nightclub applications face in most Andalusian municipalities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The premises occupy a position in the commercial centre of Fuengirola, approximately four metres from the seafront promenade and within a short walk of the main square. Playa de San Francisco lies about 660 metres away, and Playa de Fuengirola is at a similar distance. The surrounding area is urban, with a supermarket 112 metres away and an EV charging point 92 metres from the property. Fuengirola train station is 500 metres distant.
This is not a residential property. It is an operating commercial venue intended for hospitality use. The functional requirements it addresses relate to nightlife business operations: licensed music capacity, bar infrastructure, storage, stage facilities and customer sanitation. Buyers seeking a dwelling, holiday home or residential investment should note the absence of bedrooms and the commercial classification of the premises.
The building dates from 1977 (indicative) and is not a new-build development. The premises are complete and the business is currently operating, with installations in place. No construction phase, off-plan risk or delivery schedule applies. The condition is listed as good, with air conditioning installed and marble flooring. Any refurbishment needs would be assessed during due diligence on the existing installations.
The listing is a leasehold rather than a freehold purchase, meaning the buyer acquires business and usage rights rather than the underlying property. The premises have no bedrooms and no residential use. Parking is not listed among the features. The venue is subject to licensing conditions and noise regulations applicable to night clubs in Fuengirola. The price of €180,000 relates to the leasehold and business interest, not the building itself.
This listing is relevant to a specific group of buyers: operators or investors in the hospitality and nightlife sector seeking an established, licensed venue on the Costa del Sol. The full disco licence with music permission and legal capacity of 196 people is the defining asset, as such licences are described as rare in the area. Situations where this listing may be considered include an experienced hospitality operator looking to expand into Fuengirola's nightlife circuit, an investor seeking an income-producing business with installations already in place, or an entrepreneur intending to continue the current karaoke and live music format. The turnkey nature of the operation, bars, DJ booth, stage and storage all equipped, reduces initial setup requirements compared to fitting out an empty premises. Conversely, this listing does not suit buyers seeking a residential property, a holiday home or a conventional buy-to-let investment, as there are no bedrooms and no residential entitlement. Buyers without experience in Spanish licensed leisure businesses should factor in the need for legal advice on licence transfer, lease terms, employee matters and municipal regulations. The distressed categorisation of the listing suggests the seller may be under time or financial pressure, which can affect negotiation dynamics but also warrants additional due diligence into the reasons for sale and the current trading performance of the business.
The premises are finished and equipped to operational standard for a nightlife venue. Interior features listed include marble flooring and air conditioning throughout, with a partially fitted kitchen supporting backstage and staff functions. The two bars are described as fully equipped, and the entertainment infrastructure comprises a DJ booth, a stage area with performance lighting visible in the listing photographs, and two pool tables in the lounge zones. Three separate stock and storage rooms provide back-of-house capacity typical of a venue serving up to 196 patrons. Sanitary provision consists of three toilets and two urinals across the bathrooms, a ratio that corresponds to the licensed capacity. The building itself dates from 1977 (indicative), meaning the structure is approaching fifty years old; while the condition is recorded as good, buyers should commission a technical inspection covering electrical installations, ventilation, fire safety compliance and acoustic insulation, all of which are regulated matters for late-night venues in Andalusia. The commercial kitchen and storage areas shown in the photographs indicate that catering operations are also supported. No energy efficiency certificate value is stated in the data; this should be requested, as commercial premises in Spain require a valid certificate for sale. Overall, the finishing level reflects a working venue rather than a newly refurbished space, and any upgrade plans should be costed against the lease term remaining.
The asking price is €180,000 for the leasehold interest in the operating business. This is substantially below nearby residential comparables such as Azure Homes in Fuengirola (from €215,000) and developments in Estepona (from €320,000 to €524,600), reflecting the different asset class: a licensed business opportunity rather than a dwelling. The listing is categorised as a bargain, cheap and distressed opportunity, which typically indicates motivated sale circumstances that warrant verification. Buyers should establish what exactly the price covers, fixtures, fittings, licence transfer, goodwill and remaining lease term, and what annual lease costs apply, as these materially affect the total cost of acquisition and operation.
The premises function as an operating nightlife venue in one of the busiest commercial areas of Fuengirola. The interior layout of 207 m² is organised around two fully equipped bars, a stage area with performance lighting, a DJ booth and seating zones including two pool tables. Photographs show a bar area with pool tables, a commercial kitchen and storage space, a lounge area with seating, live band performances under stage lighting, and additional bar seating. Three stock and storage rooms support day-to-day operations, and sanitary facilities comprise three toilets and two urinals across the bathrooms. The venue currently operates as a karaoke and live music business, which means the daily rhythm is that of an evening and night-time operation: preparation during the day, opening in the evening, and activity concentrated between late evening and early morning. The location four metres from the seafront and one minute from the main square places the venue within Fuengirola's principal nightlife circuit, where foot traffic is heaviest during evenings and the summer tourist season. Outside peak season the town retains a permanent population of around 85,000 residents, and the surrounding density of restaurants, cafés and hotels sustains year-round activity, though at reduced levels in winter months. Prospective operators should consider the seasonal pattern of coastal tourism, the terms of the existing lease, and the regulatory framework governing late-night licensed premises in the municipality.
The immediate surroundings are those of central Fuengirola: a dense urban environment with a supermarket 112 metres away, a pharmacy at 226 metres and an extensive hospitality scene, within a two-kilometre radius the data records 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 27 banks and 37 pharmacies. The venue sits about four metres from the seafront promenade, near the Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola marina at 600 metres, and one minute from the main square. Transport access is strong: Fuengirola railway station is 500 metres away on the C-1 line to Málaga, and the town is served by 14 public transport lines with 33 stops. Málaga Airport lies 18 km away by straight-line distance. The nearest hospital is 8.5 km distant, with three health centres within the municipality. For an evening-economy business, the relevant environmental factors are the density of hotels, 25 establishments with 8,085 beds, and the permanent population of 85,211 (2025), which together supply both tourist and resident custom. Noise and licensing regulation are practical considerations inherent to a venue of this type in a mixed-use town centre.
The map shows the venue's position in the centre of Fuengirola, directly behind the seafront promenade and moments from the main square. The surrounding street grid contains the town's densest concentration of bars, restaurants and hotels, with the railway station, marina and Blue Flag beaches all within a short walking radius.
