This offering concerns the lease transfer of an operational restaurant of 200 m² on Avenida del Mediterraneo in San Pedro de Alcantara, part of the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The business seats 100 guests, divided between 65 indoor covers and 35 on a covered terrace. The establishment is fully equipped, holds valid licences and includes stock valued at approximately €50,000. The transfer price is fixed at €420,000, with monthly rent of €5,100. The premises are ready for immediate continued operation by a new tenant-operator.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The restaurant sits in a commercial setting in San Pedro de Alcantara, a town within Marbella municipality, roughly 10 km from Marbella centre as the crow flies. The street forms part of a mixed residential and commercial area with shops, schools and other amenities within walking distance. The seafront at Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away in a straight line, and Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus is 3.4 km away.
This is a commercial hospitality property, not a home. There are no bedrooms or bathrooms of residential type, only guest facilities. The premises suit a restaurateur seeking a turnkey operation: a fitted professional kitchen with extraction, a bar, indoor and terrace seating, wine storage and modern customer washrooms. No residential use is possible without separate arrangements.
This is an existing, fully operational business rather than a new-build development. The premises are key-ready and the current restaurant continues to trade. The delivery indication of 2026 refers to the transfer documentation timeline and is indicative only. No construction phase applies; the buyer takes over a running establishment with equipment and licences in place.
The offering is a lease transfer, not a freehold property purchase; the €420,000 buys the business transfer, with rent of €5,100 per month continuing. There is no residential accommodation, no private outdoor space beyond the customer terrace, and no parking is listed in the data. Stock of roughly €50,000 is included; the transfer price is stated as negotiable by the vendor.

This transfer is aimed at a specific group: experienced restaurateurs, hospitality groups or entrepreneurs who want a running establishment without equipping premises from scratch. It fits a situation where an operator has a culinary concept and needs a licensed, fitted venue with immediate trading capability, avoiding the capital outlay and lead time of a kitchen build-out, extraction installation and licensing procedure. The 200 m² size and 100-cover capacity place it in the mid-to-upper segment of local hospitality, so it also suits an investor seeking an income-producing operating asset rather than a residential purchase. It does not fit buyers looking for a home, a holiday apartment or a pure property investment; there is no residential component and no freehold in this transaction. The rent commitment of €5,100 per month means the operation needs sustained turnover to carry its fixed costs, which is a normal consideration for any hospitality transfer. Buyers unfamiliar with Spanish hospitality licensing should budget time for due diligence on the transfer contract, the lease terms beyond the headline rent, and the current trading accounts. For a hospitality professional already working on the Costa del Sol who knows the Marbella market, the calculation is more straightforward: a fitted venue, a documented licence position and a location within a dense commercial and residential catchment.
The photographs document a coherent interior standard. The dining room features a modern design with a mountain-mural feature wall and contemporary lighting; the bar area has fitted shelving and a view out towards the hills. The kitchen is equipped to professional standard with a gas stove and grill range, and the property includes a full extraction and ventilation system plus air conditioning and central heating, which matters for year-round operation of a dining room in southern Spain. A dedicated wine storage room with refrigerated units supports a beverage-led concept. Guest washrooms are modern, with quality finishes, sink units, mirrors and planting visible in the imagery. The premises are described as fully furnished and fully fitted, in excellent condition, with the inventory of equipment transferred as part of the deal. Utilities include mains electricity. What the data does not specify is the age of the kitchen equipment, the remaining service life of the extraction system, or the terms of any equipment leases, points an incoming operator would typically verify during technical due diligence. The stated presence of valid licences and up-to-date documentation is a material part of the value here, since obtaining new hospitality licences in Marbella municipality can be a lengthy process, and taking over an operating venue with paperwork in order removes that lead time entirely.
The asking price for the lease transfer is a fixed €420,000, described by the vendor as negotiable. This amount covers the transfer of the operating business, its equipment and approximately €50,000 of stock in beverages and food products. In addition, the incoming operator pays rent of €5,100 per month to the landlord. Because this is an existing business rather than a development with a price list, there is no from-price structure; the figure quoted applies to the whole transfer. Costs beyond the purchase price, such as legal due diligence, transfer taxes and licence formalities, are not included in the data provided. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to completion of the transfer process and verification of the stated licences and documentation.
The premises function as a single restaurant unit of 200 m² on a busy avenue in San Pedro de Alcantara. The layout, as evidenced by the interior photographs, comprises a dining room with a mountain-mural feature wall, a bar with shelving and views towards the hills, a professional kitchen with gas stove and grill, a wine storage room with refrigeration, and modern guest washrooms. Seating capacity totals 100: 65 inside and 35 on a covered terrace, which extends the usable season given the local climate. The operation currently runs as a going concern, so a new operator inherits a working setup rather than an empty shell. Day-to-day activity is shaped by the rhythm of a Costa del Sol tourist town: busy lunch and dinner services in high season, steadier local trade in the shoulder months, and a summer season when the nearby hotels, 52 with nearly 12,800 beds in the wider area, bring additional passing footfall. San Pedro itself combines a permanent residential population with tourist flows, meaning the customer base is not purely seasonal. Practical matters such as deliveries, staff access and evening trade all fit within the commercial fabric of the avenue, where restaurants, cafes and shops sit alongside each other.
San Pedro de Alcantara functions as a town in its own right within Marbella municipality, with a full range of daily amenities. Within 2 km of the premises the area intelligence counts 27 restaurants, 13 cafes, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, plus a school, a density that confirms the commercial character of the immediate surroundings. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the wider area, and education options are substantial, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded. Public transport consists of 10 lines serving 50 stops, which is relevant for staff commuting as much as for customers arriving without a car. The town sits at 53 m elevation with a moderate gradient of 3.3% down to the sea, so the walk from the avenue to the beachfront is manageable on foot or by bicycle. Marbella centre lies 10 km away as the crow flies, while Algeciras and Malaga city are each around 57 km in a straight line. The setting is urban and busy by coastal standards: a commercial avenue in a tourist town, with the associated footfall, traffic and seasonality. For a hospitality business this is the working environment rather than a drawback, the same density of residents, hotels and passing trade that creates noise also creates customers.
The map shows the premises on the San Pedro de Alcantara avenue network, with the beachfront 1.6 km south as the crow flies, Puerto Banus 3.4 km east and the golf courses of the Nueva Andalucia valley within 3 km. Marbella centre lies 10 km along the coast.

San Pedro de Alcantara occupies a position between Marbella's old town, 10 km to the east as the crow flies, and Estepona to the west, with Puerto Banus 3.4 km away serving as the nearest luxury anchor. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, this stretch combines established residential neighbourhoods, golf valleys and a mature tourism economy, supported by 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds locally. Housing transactions in the area run at 4,743 per year, indicating an active property market. The town functions as a year-round community rather than a seasonal resort, which is a distinguishing feature for a hospitality business seeking trade outside the summer months.
Key distances from the premises, measured in a straight line: Playa de San Pedro at 1.6 km, with the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km; Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus at 3.4 km, a significant source of evening dining traffic. Golf courses cluster nearby, including Magna Marbella Golf at 2.3 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.8 km and El Higueral Golf at 3.2 km. Sports facilities are close at hand: Rocodromo at 0.7 km, Apolo at 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km. Two airports serve the area: Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 48 km and Gibraltar at approximately 49 km, both about an hour's drive in practice depending on traffic. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger 6.1 km away and near Estepona at 7.2 km. International schools, The International School of Estepona at 4.1 km and the British International School at 7.5 km, round out the catchment for expatriate families. Actual road distances will be longer than these straight-line figures.

The local climate is one of the operational assets of a terrace restaurant here. Average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.0°C, conditions that support outdoor dining for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, which broadly coincides with the peak tourist season and the busiest period for terrace covers. San Pedro sits at 53 m above sea level with a moderate gradient towards the coast, so the terrain is essentially flat around the avenue itself. The Sierra foothills begin inland of the town, and the bar area of the restaurant looks out towards these hills, as the photographs show. Rainfall concentrates in the winter months, when indoor seating and the covered terrace, together with central heating, keep the dining room usable. The covered terrace is a practical response to both summer sun and the occasional cooler evening, extending service capacity beyond what the indoor room alone provides.

The coastline near San Pedro includes Playa de San Pedro at 1.6 km, the nearest option, with Playa Canina Ventura del Mar 1.9 km away and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km. Two Blue Flag beaches serve the wider area, at Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, an indicator of water quality and facility standards. Beyond the beach, recreational provision within a short radius is dense: three golf courses within 3.2 km, two marinas including Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus at 3.4 km, and viewpoints at Mirador del Muelle de Honor (3.3 km) and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.9 km) for walks on days off. Sports centres at 0.7 to 1.1 km cover climbing, general training and municipal facilities. For a restaurant operation, this recreational infrastructure translates into a steady flow of visitors, golfers, beachgoers and marina traffic, within a compact radius of the premises, alongside the permanent local population of the town.

This offering differs fundamentally from the residential developments usually compared along this coast. The listed comparables, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, are new-build home projects with price lists, whereas this transaction concerns the transfer of a running hospitality business at a fixed price of €420,000 plus rent. The relevant comparison set is therefore other leasehold restaurant opportunities on the Costa del Sol rather than housing. Within that frame, location carries substantial weight. San Pedro de Alcantara sits between Marbella old town and Estepona, 3.4 km from Puerto Banus and its high-spending visitor base, in a town with a permanent population and a dense amenity network, 27 restaurants and 13 cafes within 2 km testify to the strength, and the competitiveness, of the local gastronomic scene. Golf courses within 3.2 km and two Blue Flag beaches nearby sustain visitor flows across a long season, with an average annual temperature of 19°C supporting outdoor trading for much of the year. Against hospitality opportunities further east, in Torre del Mar or Mijas, where tourist infrastructure is thinner and property prices lower, this venue offers a more mature market with higher spending power, offset by a higher transfer price and steeper competition. A buyer is effectively paying for a licensed, equipped and trading position in one of the coast's most established commercial districts, rather than for square metres of new construction. Whether that premium is justified depends on the current trading accounts, which any serious candidate should examine before committing to the €5,100 monthly rent obligation.
