Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the coordinator of exterior projects here at TuExterior. With over a decade of experience transforming terraces and gardens across the L'Alacantí comarca, I understand that installing a swimming pool in Alicante is more than just a home improvement; it is an essential investment in your Mediterranean lifestyle. Whether you are living in the modern developments of PAU 5, the prestigious villas of Cabo de las Huertas, or the established residential streets of Vistahermosa, the local climate demands high-quality materials. Dealing with a population of approximately 358,720 residents means we operate in a bustling urban environment where coastal salt exposure is a constant factor for any outdoor structure. We specialise in navigating these specific environmental challenges, ensuring your installation withstands the humid breeze of Playa de San Juan or La Albufereta. Regarding investment, in Alicante a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the complexity and finishes. My goal is to guide you through every technical detail to ensure your garden becomes a true sanctuary.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision, preferred dimensions, and specific requirements for your Alicante property.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your home in areas like Vistahermosa or Cabo de las Huertas to assess the terrain, access points, and sunlight exposure.
  3. Free Quote: Within a few days, you will receive a detailed, transparent proposal tailored to your budget, including all technical specifications and estimated timelines.
  4. Professional Installation: Our expert local crew handles everything from excavation to the final tiling, ensuring a clean workspace and a perfect finish ready for the summer.

Regulations and Permits in Alicante

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of my role at TuExterior. In Alicante, the construction of a swimming pool is governed by the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of the Ayuntamiento de Alicante. For most residential pools, you will need to apply for a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' because the project involves structural excavation and affects the property's footprint. This requires a technical project signed by an architect or engineer and approved by the College of Architects (COACV).

Furthermore, we ensure all safety and quality standards are met, including the UNE-EN 13561 standard for any accompanying sun protection structures like awnings or pergolas that often complete a pool area. The municipal ordinance also dictates specific setbacks (distancias a linderos), usually requiring the water's edge to be at least 2 to 3 metres away from your neighbour's boundary, depending on your specific urbanisation's sub-rules. We handle the communication with the Town Hall to ensure your project is 100% legal, avoiding potential fines or issues when you eventually decide to sell your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Alicante?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on the type of pool—whether it is a pre-fabricated polyester shell or a bespoke gunite (sprayed concrete) structure with tile finishes. Factors such as the hardness of the rock in areas like Cabo de las Huertas or the ease of access for heavy machinery in Playa de San Juan will also influence the final labour costs.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, in the municipality of Alicante, a swimming pool is considered a major work (Obra Mayor). You cannot simply start digging; you need a technical project drafted by a professional and the subsequent municipal permit. We assist in coordinating this documentation to ensure the project complies with the local PGOU and environmental regulations.
How long does it take?
From the moment the excavation starts, a standard concrete pool usually takes between 3 to 5 weeks to complete. However, the administrative process for the licence at the Alicante Town Hall can take several months, so we always recommend planning your project in the autumn or winter to have it ready for the swimming season.
Do you cover Alicante?
Absolutely. We cover the entire L'Alacantí region, including the city centre, the coastal stretches of La Albufereta and San Juan, and inland residential areas. We are also active in neighbouring municipalities like Mutxamel, Sant Joan d'Alacant, and El Campello, providing local expertise and proximity for maintenance and support.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers the structural integrity of the pool shell for 10 years, as well as specific warranties for the filtration systems, pumps, and lighting according to the manufacturer's terms. Our goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing that your investment is protected against leaks or structural defects.
Can you install salt-water chlorination systems?
Yes, salt-water systems are highly recommended in Alicante. They are much gentler on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine, and they are easier to maintain in our warm climate. While the initial setup cost is slightly higher, the long-term savings on chemicals and the improved swimming experience make it the most popular choice among our clients in PAU 5 and Vistahermosa.
What happens if my garden has difficult access?
In many parts of Alicante, especially in older urbanisations or terraced plots, access can be tight. We use specialised compact machinery for excavation if necessary. During our initial site visit, I will evaluate the entry points for trucks and cranes to ensure we have a viable plan that minimises disruption to your existing landscaping and your neighbours.
