Commercial in La Duquesa

An exceptional commercial prospect arrives in the heart of El Puerto de la Duquesa, marking the first time this iconic restaurant has entered the market in four decades. Perfectly situated within the vibrant marina, this establishment has built an unrivaled reputation among an affluent international and local clientele. This turnkey operation offers immediate entry into one of the Costa del Sol’s most consistent dining hubs, benefiting from a prestigious location with high footfall and a loyal following of repeat diners.

The interior architecture encompasses a fully modernized dining room that underwent an extensive high-end reform in 2021. The layout is designed for both intimacy and efficiency, featuring 30 elegant indoor covers. The transition to the outdoor spaces is seamless, where a massive 400 m² terrace and a 28 m² covered portico provide capacity for an additional 120 guests. The leasehold includes two private garages, one of which is cleverly integrated with walk-in cold storage facilities, ensuring logistics are as sophisticated as the front-of-house experience.

Technical specifications are of the highest standard, meeting the strict "Dos Tenedores" compliance for commercial kitchens. Recent infrastructure upgrades include a 2024 multi-zone Toshiba climate control system and a state-of-the-art fixed fire extinguishing system compliant through 2025. With a 244 m² built area, the business currently thrives as an evening-only concept, presenting significant expansion potential for an operator to introduce lunch or brunch services to further capitalize on the prime marina setting.

Located in the scenic La Duquesa, the property enjoys proximity to world-class golf courses and is just a short drive from Estepona and Gibraltar. The sale includes a dedicated team of up to 12 staff during peak season and a commitment from the retiring owners for a supportive handover. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a de-risked, highly profitable business with a proven 25% operating margin in a premier Mediterranean port location.
