Swimming Pools in Alicante

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.

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.
