The Valencian chain Grupo Saona is strengthening its presence in the province of Alicante with the recent opening of a new establishment in Torrevieja and the announcement of a future inauguration in Benidorm for late 2026.

The company, specializing in Mediterranean cuisine and with over 70 restaurants in Spain, maintains its expansion strategy through franchises in strategic locations. The latest addition to the province is in Torrevieja, which opened on June 11th at the Paseo del Mar leisure center, consolidating the chain's focus on tourist enclaves along the Alicante coast.
The new Saona Torrevieja spans over 350 square meters and can accommodate more than 170 diners. The establishment is managed under a franchise agreement by MBQ Horeca Inversiones SL. The venue features an indoor dining area, a covered and air-conditioned indoor terrace, and an outdoor terrace with port views. The aesthetic design retains the brand's characteristic Mediterranean style, with natural vegetation, wood, and warm lighting.
The opening in Torrevieja occurs just weeks after the inauguration of the Paseo del Mar complex. The company has also confirmed that Benidorm will be one of its next destinations, with a new opening planned for the last quarter of 2026, thus reinforcing its growth in areas with high visitor traffic.
In addition to Benidorm, the group plans new openings in Barcelona, València, and A Coruña in the coming months, combining company-owned and franchised establishments. Confirmed projects include new restaurants at the Glòries shopping center in Barcelona and the Arena shopping center in València, as well as a Quick Saona outlet in Castelló.

"The interest from investors who believe in our model confirms the solidity of the Saona concept and its Mediterranean offering."
