Profitable, Award-Winning Restaurant, Yoga Studio And Freediving Base For Sale

Dumaguete City, Cebu, Philippines
Asking Price:
$136,000 (USD) Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
$100K - $250K (USD)
Cash Flow:
Under $50K (USD)

A rare turnkey lifestyle business on the Philippines' dive coast: the only fully plant-based restaurant in its town, the only standalone public yoga studio, and home base of a freediving school, all under one roof.

Trading since 2021 and profitable in every full year, with strong owner earnings and revenue that has grown every year to 2025. Every sale is recorded in a cloud point-of-sale system, so the numbers can be verified by a buyer rather than taken on trust.

Why people love it: named Best Restaurant in its town in the Restaurant Guru 2023 awards, a 4.9-star Google rating built on hundreds of reviews, and a loyal wellness-traveller customer base of yogis, divers and digital nomads who come for the food, the studio and the freediving school and stay for all three.

Purpose-built premises on a long, secure ground lease at a modest fixed rent. Open-air dining room, professional kitchen, bar and a beautiful bamboo yoga shala overlooking the garden. Registered trademark, established website and social channels, and a trained team led by a head chef who has been there since opening day.

Run remotely today. The owners live overseas and manage through a salaried on-site manager and cloud systems, so the business suits a hands-on owner-operator ready to step in and take the full earnings, or a buyer who keeps the manager in place.

Room to grow: evening and events trade in a venue that currently closes early, retreat and workshop packages combining the studio, the kitchen and the freediving school, and branded retail under the registered mark.

Included in the sale: fit-out and equipment, brand and trademark, website and social channels, the point-of-sale system with its full sales history, recipes and operating procedures, the team, and a generous remote handover period. Asset sale.

Full financial summary, management accounts and point-of-sale access are available to qualified buyers on enquiry and under NDA.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Lease Terms:

Long-term ground lease on purpose-built premises, running to 2035, at a modest fixed rent with small five-yearly steps. Full terms available under NDA.

Location:

In the centre of a small coastal town on the Philippines' dive coast, on the street that leads from the town hall and main church down to the beach: two minutes' walk to the sea in one direction and to the public market in the other, with the dive resorts close by and a university city with an airport around twenty minutes away. The town draws a steady flow of divers, freedivers and wellness travellers year-round, peaking December to April.

Premises Details:

Purpose-built by the current owners in 2020 on a leased lot: an open-air ground-floor restaurant and bar with a professional kitchen and garden seating, and a bamboo-roofed yoga shala on the upper floor overlooking the trees. Natural materials throughout, designed for the climate.

Size in square feet:
~2,900 sq ft
Planning Consent:

Premises built with the landlord's consent under the lease; the business operates with the usual local business, sanitary and fire permits.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business has absentee ownership.
Expansion Potential:

Late-evening dining, bar and events trade, largely untapped today. Retreat and workshop packages combining the studio, the kitchen and the freediving school. Branded retail and take-home products under the registered mark. Catering and delivery, which the kitchen already handles at small scale. Teacher trainings and multi-day courses using the shala in the quieter months. Beyond the current site, the brand resonates deeply with its customers and is ready to become a multi-site operation: Siquijor, Siargao, Cebu and Manila would all be excellent homes for further branches.

Competition / Market:

The town has a handful of dining options, mostly omnivore and bar-led, and no other dedicated yoga studio. This is the only fully plant-based restaurant and the only standalone public yoga studio, and the integration with a freediving school is unmatched locally. The main competitive consideration is the seasonal nature of tourism, which the business already trades through profitably.

Reasons for selling:

Owners have permanently relocated overseas and would like to see the business in the hands of someone who can give it the attention it deserves to take it to the next level.

Daily, 8am to 9pm, seven days

Other Information

Support & training:
