Turnkey Commercial Opportunity in the Heart of Dominical – Home to La Junta Restaurant (#1 on TripAdvisor)
Located directly on the main street of Dominical, right in the center of town, this unique turnkey commercial property offers three businesses in one: a highly successful restaurant, four tropical rental cabins, and a leased commercial space. With excellent visibility, steady foot traffic, and multiple income streams, this property represents a rare investment opportunity in one of Costa Rica’s most vibrant beach communities.
La Junta Restaurant – Top Rated on Google & #1 on TripAdvisor for Over 3 Years
At the front of the property is La Junta Restaurant, located directly on Dominical’s busiest public street where nearly all pedestrian and vehicle traffic passes through town.
La Junta has built an excellent reputation and has been top rated on Google and ranked #1 on TripAdvisor in Dominical for over three years, with outstanding reviews from visitors from around the world. The restaurant is well known for its delicious sandwiches, creative menu, and exceptional cocktails. It features a full bar with a bartender preparing signature drinks and cocktails, making it a popular spot for both visitors and locals.
Guests can enjoy seating inside the restaurant as well as outdoor tables along the public street, creating a lively atmosphere that attracts steady foot traffic. The restaurant also has additional space behind the main dining area that can be used for more seating, bar space, or special gatherings.
One of the restaurant’s most unique features is the family of sloths living in the trees directly above the property, which has become a special attraction for guests who often enjoy spotting them while dining. The sloths have lived in the trees for approximately two years and are a charming and memorable part of the experience at La Junta.
Although the property includes a small parking area, most customers arrive on foot thanks to the restaurant’s prime location in the center of Dominical.
Four Tropical Rental Cabins
Next to the restaurant are four beautifully decorated one-bedroom cabins, designed with a relaxed tropical style that fits perfectly with the natural atmosphere of Dominical.
Each cabin provides a comfortable private space for guests, while all four share a well-designed outdoor kitchen and dining area, allowing visitors to cook, socialize, and enjoy meals together in an open-air setting. The cabins are currently listed on Airbnb and Booking.com, generating additional rental income.
The property also includes three additional small cabins that are currently being used for storage. These structures offer great potential and could be remodeled into additional rental units or used as space for future expansion, depending on the vision of the new owner.
Commercial Space with Long-Term Tenant
The property also includes a commercial space located directly along Dominical’s busiest public street, currently rented to a well-established surf school that has been operating in Dominical for many years. The space benefits from excellent visibility and foot traffic due to its prime location in the center of town and can continue to be rented to the current tenant, providing a stable and reliable source of income.
Excellent Location Near the River and Beach
The property is located within walking distance of the river and Dominical Beach, offering a beautiful natural setting and easy access to outdoor activities. The nearby river is a great place to enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding, while Dominical Beach is one of the most well-known surf destinations in Costa Rica, famous for its consistent waves and vibrant surf culture that attracts visitors from around the world.
Owner Training and Smooth Business Transition
To ensure a smooth transition for the new owner, the current owners are willing to teach and guide the buyer through the operation of all three businesses. This includes sharing the restaurant’s recipes, operational systems, and important local contacts that have helped the business operate successfully for many years.
This support allows a new owner to confidently continue operating the businesses with the same level of success they have enjoyed over time.
Owner’s Residential Space (Bonus)
The property also includes a residential space currently used by the owners with two bedrooms and a kitchen, along with private parking for the owners. The main bedroom features a balcony with beautiful views of the river. This space is offered as a bonus with the purchase of the businesses and offers the flexibility to be used privately by the owner or rented to generate additional income.
A Rare Multi-Income Opportunity
With multiple established income streams, a strong reputation, and a prime location in the center of Dominical, this property is ideal for investors or entrepreneurs looking for a fully operational turnkey business in Costa Rica’s thriving tourism market.
The combination of La Junta Restaurant, income-producing cabins, and a leased commercial space makes this a unique opportunity that rarely becomes available in Dominical.
