An established restaurant business is for sale in Cabo Roig, Orihuela Costa, in the south of the Alicante province. The 120 m² premises were fully renovated and have been operated by the same owner for ten years. The sale concerns the leasehold and goodwill, including all equipment and supplies, at a fixed asking price of €94,500. The venue is located roughly 200 metres from Playa Cala la Caleta, in a commercial area with a dense concentration of restaurants, cafes and shops. The monthly rent is €1,600. The property is west-facing and includes a covered terrace, a bar and disabled access.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The restaurant sits in the centre of Cabo Roig, a coastal district of Orihuela Costa. Playa Cala la Caleta lies approximately 200 metres away as the crow flies, with further beaches at 0.5 and 0.9 km. The setting is described as town, commercial area and beachside, with the marina Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero about 2.3 km away.
This is a commercial property, not a residence: it contains no bedrooms or bathrooms in the domestic sense, though a modern marble-walled bathroom is present for guests. The premises span 120 m² with a covered terrace, a bar area, a utility room and disabled access. The interior photographs show a modern dining room, a stainless-steel commercial kitchen and a covered patio dining area.
This is an existing business rather than a new-build project. The premises were completed in 2015 and have been fully renovated since; the current condition is described as excellent. The sale includes equipment and supplies, so the operation can in principle continue without major further investment. The asking price is fixed at €94,500, with a monthly rent of €1,600.
The sale concerns the leasehold and goodwill, not the freehold of the building. A monthly rent of €1,600 continues to apply. There is no residential component: no bedrooms, no private outdoor space and no parking facilities are listed. The property is part-furnished. Buyers should verify the terms of the lease, the transferability of licences and the exact inventory through legal due diligence before purchase.
This business suits an operator who wants to take over a running restaurant rather than build one from scratch. The documented ten-year history and included equipment mean the buyer can start trading almost immediately, without the fit-out costs and licence procedures that a new venue would require. It is relevant for hospitality entrepreneurs who already have experience running a kitchen and dining room, and who can assess turnover and profitability on the basis of the seller's accounts. The profile also fits couples or families planning a working relocation to the Costa Blanca South, where a hospitality business combined with the coastal lifestyle is a common route to self-employment. Because the concept is flexible according to the seller, an operator with a specific cuisine in mind, for example a particular national kitchen, could adapt the venue, subject to checking what adaptations the licence and lease allow. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a passive investment: a restaurant with a monthly rent obligation of €1,600 requires active management, and results depend on the operator's own effort and the seasonal pattern of the Orihuela Costa. Buyers who want a residential property with rental income should instead consider conventional apartments or villas in the region.
The premises were completed in 2015 and have since been fully renovated; the condition is described as excellent and recently renovated. The available photographs document the standard of the finish. The interior shows a modern dining room with a bar area in a contemporary style. The kitchen is a professional installation with stainless-steel appliances and surfaces, which is the conventional standard for Spanish commercial kitchens in terms of hygiene requirements and durability. The covered terrace extends the seating capacity and provides shade during the warmer months. The guest bathroom has marble wall finishes. In practical terms, disabled access means the venue complies with accessibility expectations, which matters for licensing and for the breadth of the customer base. The sale includes the equipment and supplies, so the inventory visible in the photographs, kitchen appliances, bar fittings and part of the furniture, transfers to the buyer. Prospective buyers should nevertheless commission a technical inspection of the commercial kitchen equipment: professional appliances have limited service lives, and replacement costs can be substantial. It is also advisable to verify compliance of the ventilation system and the kitchen extraction with current municipal requirements in Orihuela, as these are common points of attention in older transfers of hospitality businesses. No information is available on the energy performance or the technical state of the building shell itself, as this concerns leased commercial premises within a larger structure.
The asking price for the business is a fixed €94,500, covering the leasehold, goodwill, equipment and supplies. This is not a property purchase with a registered title to the premises; the buyer acquires the business and takes over the premises under a rental agreement at €1,600 per month, equivalent to €19,200 per year in rent. For context, residential new-build apartments in the wider area, Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso, are listed from roughly €160,000 to €227,000. The price of a hospitality business depends on factors such as turnover, lease terms and the state of the inventory; prospective buyers should request audited accounts and verify what exactly is included. Delivery is immediate in principle, as the premises are operational and ready for continued trading.
The premises function as a turnkey restaurant in a busy coastal commercial zone. The layout follows a conventional hospitality pattern: a modern dining room with a bar, a fully equipped stainless-steel commercial kitchen, a covered terrace for outdoor seating and a modern guest bathroom with marble walls. Disabled access is present. The west-facing orientation means the covered terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, which in a Mediterranean dining context typically favours dinner service. The location within Cabo Roig places the venue within walking distance, roughly 200 to 500 metres as the crow flies, of three beaches, including Playa Cala la Caleta, Playa Fósil and Playa Cala Capitán. The immediate area counts 56 restaurants and 13 cafes within 2 km, which indicates both a substantial year-round supply of customers and considerable competition from other hospitality businesses. Five pharmacies, five banks and four dentists within the same radius confirm that the district functions beyond the summer season, supported by the residential urbanisations and the nearby Villamartín and La Zenia commercial areas. The business has been run by the same owner for ten years, which provides a documented operating history that buyers can examine. Because the sale includes equipment and supplies, the transition between owners can be short, and the new operator can in principle maintain the existing concept or introduce a different cuisine, as the vendor states the premises suit varied dining concepts.
Cabo Roig forms part of Orihuela Costa, a coastal belt in the south of the province of Alicante near the border with the Region of Murcia. The district is built around a dense pattern of residential urbanisations, commercial zones and a series of sandy coves. Within 2 km of the restaurant there are 56 restaurants, 13 cafes, 5 pharmacies, 5 banks and 4 dentists, which places nearly all daily needs within a short radius. The beaches of Cala la Caleta, Playa Fósil and Cala Capitán lie between roughly 200 and 900 metres away as the crow flies, over flat terrain with a gradient of about 0.5 per cent. The area sits at approximately 23 metres above sea level, so there are no significant height differences between the venue and the coast. Three golf courses, Villamartín, Las Ramblas de Orihuela and Real Club de Golf Campoamor, are located between 3.7 and 4.6 km away, and the marina Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero is 2.3 km from the premises. The larger regional cities are Murcia at 37 km, Elche at 38 km and Cartagena at 43 km in a straight line, each reachable by motorway.
The map shows the restaurant's position in the heart of Cabo Roig, a few hundred metres from the coves of Cala la Caleta and Playa Fósil. The golf courses of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor form a green arc slightly inland, while the motorway connection toward Alicante airport runs north along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cabo Roig occupies the southernmost stretch of the Alicante province's coast, in Orihuela Costa, close to the boundary with the Murcia region. This position places it between the tourist hubs of Torrevieja to the north and the Mar Menor and Cartagena area to the south. The district is one of the most internationally oriented parts of the Costa Blanca South, with a large share of foreign residents and seasonal visitors. For a hospitality business, this location combines a dense permanent population in the surrounding urbanisations with a strong seasonal peak, while the nearby La Zenia Boulevard retail area draws additional visitors year-round.
The restaurant is reachable by both car and public transport: the area is served by 11 bus lines with a total of 50 stops, which is a relatively dense network for a coastal district of this size. For electric car owners there are several fast-charging stations within 1.4 km, operated by Iberdrola, Eranovum and Ionity. Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 44 km away as the crow flies, which corresponds to a drive of roughly 40 to 50 minutes on the AP-7 or N-332. Valencia Airport lies about 176 km to the north and Málaga Airport roughly 361 km to the west. Beaches are within walking distance at 0.2 to 0.9 km, the nearest marina at 2.3 km and the nearest golf course at 3.7 km straight-line. For deliveries and supplies, the venue's position in a commercial area on the local road network is practical; buyers should verify loading and unloading options near the premises with the current owner.

The climate is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: the average monthly temperature ranges from about 11°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, which sets the pattern for the tourist season and thus for hospitality turnover in the area. The elevation of 23 metres and the flat gradient toward the sea mean the venue and the surrounding streets are easily walkable. The west-facing orientation of the premises aligns with evening dining outdoors: the covered terrace catches the afternoon and evening sun during much of the year, though in July and August this also brings heat that the cover partially mitigates. Winters are mild enough for year-round operation, supported by the permanent residential population of the surrounding urbanisations.

The coastline around Cabo Roig consists of a chain of sandy coves. Playa Cala la Caleta is roughly 200 metres from the venue, with Playa Fósil at 0.5 km and Playa Cala Capitán at 0.9 km as the crow flies. These beaches are the natural anchor of local tourism and the main source of foot traffic for the district's hospitality sector in the five-month high season. Beyond the beaches, the area offers three golf courses within about 4 km: Club de Golf Villamartín at 3.7 km, Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.0 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.6 km. Two marinas are nearby, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero at 2.3 km and Real Club Náutico at 8.0 km, and two swimming pools, Costa Marina and Swimming Pool La Caleta, lie within about 1 km. The Sport Center Montepiedra at 2.6 km rounds off the recreational offer.

Within the wider region, this offer stands apart from the residential projects typically listed along this coast. Comparable listings in the area are new-build apartments: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000 and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Those purchases deliver a registered residential title; the Cabo Roig listing at €94,500 instead delivers an operating business with equipment and a ten-year track record, but without property ownership and with a continuing rent obligation. In terms of location, Cabo Roig is comparable to Torrevieja in its beach proximity and international character, though it forms part of Orihuela Costa, which is structured around separate urbanisations rather than one continuous town centre. The hospitality market context matters here: the province's median income of €15,750 per year illustrates the gap between the resident population and the tourist spending that actually sustains coastal restaurants. The five-month swimming season concentrates demand, while the permanent population of the urbanisations and the proximity of La Zenia's retail area provide off-season activity. Buyers comparing this business with a rental property should note the different risk profiles: rental income from an apartment is largely passive, whereas a restaurant's returns depend on active operation, staffing and the lease terms. In this part of the Costa Blanca, a turnkey hospitality business at under €100,000 is a distinct segment of the market, aimed at entrepreneurs rather than at lifestyle buyers seeking a second home.
