Olivia’s La Cala, an iconic beachfront gem, is up for sale thanks to Elliot Wright, who is also putting his successful restaurant group up for sale. Olivia’s La Cala is a famous beachside gem that is undergoing a brand-new life in Britain.
Former TOWIE star Elliott Wright has revealed it’s all change as he announces the sale by auction of his restaurant group in Spain – for a whole new life back in Blightly. The sale includes Olivia’s La Cala in Marbella, named after his daughter and the scene of many a wild night out for a host of stars including fellow ex-TOWIE regulars, from Elliott’s cousins Mark and Jess Wright to Ferne McCann and his good pal James ‘Arg’ Argent, who has performed there many times.
Elliott, 45, who has five children with wife Sadie and the most recent is daughter Dolly, who was born in August, tells us exclusively: “After 25 years in Spain, ten of those in La Cala de Mijas, I’ve decided it’s time for a change, a new chapter.

Elliott, who appeared on The Only Way is Essex between 2010 and 2017 , adds: “As a family man, it’s always been my dream that my children would follow me into the restaurant business. However, life doesn’t always follow the plans we make.”
He explains, “My daughter Olivia turned 16 this year, and has decided to pursue a career in the City of London,” revealing that two of his children will soon be raised in London. Elliott, my eldest son, has been a City employee for three years and intends to fully commit to that path.
Sadie and I now live with our young family here alone, and more importantly, away from our immediate family because my mother, who had lived here for 25 years, also relocated to the UK earlier this year for personal reasons.
But he acknowledges that this is not a simple decision that he and Sadie have made. Sadie and I have been discussing this subject for a while, and it’s been a difficult choice. No matter what, my children are in my heart forever.
“So I’ve chosen to sell all of my business interests in Spain and relocate back to the UK after careful consideration. A brand-new business opportunity has arisen there, and it seems like the right time to turn the page on what has been a fantastic chapter of my life, when combined with my family’s plans.
The father-of-five explains how much his beloved La Cala restaurant means to him, “Olivia’s has been my passion — a love story.” Some of the best memories I’ll ever have with me have been made of it. However, all things come to an end, and the next custodian must take the helm.
Olivia’s has been the Costa del Sol’s jewel and will always be. Whoever has the keys to the keys will undoubtedly have the best years in store for the company, which has been an amazing one for the past ten years. Whoever takes it on will benefit greatly from the enormous growth potential over the next two to three years, and I’m confident that it will be beneficial for many years.
The Olivia’s La Cala brand and trademark will be included in the sale, which will include the freehold beachfront property. One of the largest and most spectacular frontline villas on the coast would also be located here for anyone looking to use it as a private residence. It could become a truly exceptional beachfront home with a build size of nearly 9, 000 square feet and a sizable plot, easily valued at or over €10 million.
All bids must be submitted no later than 12:00 PM on December 5th, with a minimum starting bid of €5,000,000. For information on how to bid, guide-price details, the full sales deck, and minimum bid requirements, please contact: Sebastian — Bromley Estates Marbella (+34 661 689 956, olivias@bromleyestatesmarbella.com). Says Elliott, “For me, it’s time for change — but for someone else, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. All I hear are people dreaming of leaving the UK for a sunnier life. Well, here’s your chance – to own one of the best and most established restaurants on the Costa del Sol.”
