Marea Alta Restaurante is a turn-key restaurant for sale in Bahía Drake, Costa Rica, offering the rare opportunity to acquire both a fully operating restaurant and the underlying land. Located on a 603 m² property in the heart of Bahía Drake, this established business combines immediate income with long-term real estate value in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after eco-tourism destinations. Operating successfully for the past 3.5 years under the current owner, the restaurant has built a strong reputation among both local residents and international visitors.


The restaurant offers a versatile menu that includes Costa Rican cuisine, international dishes, and fast-food options, making it appealing to a wide and consistent clientele, including families, locals, and tourists throughout the year.

Its strategic central location is one of its strongest assets: just 5 minutes walking distance from the beach, and equally close to the local school, supermarkets, hotels, and the clinic. The property enjoys excellent visibility and accessibility, with official parking for approximately 5 vehicles and ample additional parking along the main road.

Marea Alta features a welcoming and functional layout with balconies, two bar areas, and a professional 5 × 5 meter kitchen, complemented by two storage rooms. The restaurant is authorized for a capacity of 96 guests, and comfortably accommodates larger groups during special events and high-demand occasions.

The business holds a valid alcohol license, operates with a trained team of 8 employees, and maintains an active presence on Instagram and Facebook, supporting ongoing visibility and customer engagement.

Kitchen equipment and furnishings can be negotiated as part of the sale, offering flexibility for the new owner, whether continuing the current concept or introducing a new vision.

Marea Alta Restaurante represents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor looking to acquire a turn-key restaurant in a prime, high-traffic location, with an established brand and strong growth potential in Bahía Drake.
