Pura Gula: Established Costa Rica Restaurant Business for Sale, 15+ Years of Success

NOW OFFERED AT JUST $155,000 USD

For more than 15 years, Pura Gula has been serving locals, tourists, and loyal returning customers from the heart of Playa Chiquita. Now, for the first time in years, this well-established business is available for purchase.

This is far more than a restaurant; it is a proven business with an established reputation, experienced operating systems, valuable assets, and a loyal customer base. Instead of spending years building a brand from scratch, you can step into an operation that has already earned its place as one of the area’s favorite dining destinations.

Whether you’re dreaming of relocating to Costa Rica, investing in an established hospitality business, or creating a new lifestyle for yourself and your family, Pura Gula offers an exceptional opportunity to own a business that is already positioned for continued success.

Starting a restaurant from the ground up can take years of planning, permitting, construction, hiring, marketing, and building a customer base. Pura Gula allows you to skip those challenges and begin with an established operation that has already proven itself.

A Rare Investment Opportunity

The asking price has recently been reduced to $155,000 USD, making this one of the most accessible opportunities to acquire an established hospitality business in Costa Rica.

The business also lends itself well to a partnership investment. For example, three partners could each invest approximately $52,000 USD to acquire a successful business with valuable assets, a proven operating history, and an established customer base—at a fraction of what it would cost to build a comparable restaurant today.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, chef, investor, digital nomad, or simply looking for a new chapter in paradise, Pura Gula offers flexibility that few opportunities can match.

Included Assets

One of the greatest advantages of purchasing Pura Gula is the significant value included in the sale.

Approximately $60,000 USD worth of commercial kitchen equipment, furniture, fixtures, and restaurant assets are included, allowing the new owner to begin operations immediately without the substantial upfront costs associated with opening a new restaurant. When combined with the established brand, operating systems, and loyal clientele, the value extends well beyond the physical assets alone.

Why Playa Chiquita?

Playa Chiquita in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is one of Costa Rica’s most desirable Caribbean destinations. Known for its stunning beaches, lush rainforest, boutique hotels, wellness retreats, and vibrant international community, it attracts visitors from around the world throughout the year.

The area’s growing tourism industry and strong local support create an ideal environment for an established restaurant. Guests are continually seeking memorable dining experiences, while locals appreciate businesses that consistently deliver quality food and service.

Owning a business here means more than earning an income. It means becoming part of a thriving community and embracing the relaxed Caribbean lifestyle that makes Costa Rica famous.

Why Is the Business Being Sold?

After successfully operating Pura Gula for more than 15 years, the current owners have decided to pursue new opportunities. To ensure a seamless transition, they are committed to providing a comprehensive handover, giving the new owners the knowledge, systems, and confidence needed to continue the restaurant’s long-standing success.

Continue a Legacy

Businesses with a 15-year proven history, an established reputation, and significant included assets rarely become available in Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean of Costa Rica, and even more rare in Playa Chiquita.

If you’ve been looking for the opportunity to own a successful business in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after beach communities, this is your chance to build on an already successful foundation rather than starting from zero.
