Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Alcalalí, you have come to the right place. Living here in the heart of the Marina Alta comarca, we understand that the inland climate of the Jalón Valley brings scorching summers where a private oasis isn't just a luxury, it is a necessity for comfort. With a local population of around 1,406 residents, Alcalalí offers a unique blend of traditional village life and modern residential living. Whether you own a villa in the established Benarrosa urbanisation, a property in La Solana Garden, or a home in the scenic Cumbres de Alcalalí, my team and I specialize in navigating the specific terrain of this region. We also frequently work with clients in nearby Llosa de Camacho and "The Village" center. Regarding investment, in Alcalalí a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the slope of your plot and the chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your project integrates perfectly with the rustic charm of our valley while providing modern durability.

Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision, preferred pool type, and your specific location within Alcalalí or the surrounding valley.

Step 2: Site Visit & Measuring

I will personally visit your property in areas like La Solana or Benarrosa to assess ground stability, access for machinery, and take precise technical measurements.

Step 3: Free Detailed Quote

You will receive a comprehensive, transparent proposal that breaks down costs for excavation, materials, filtration systems, and the necessary local labor.

Step 4: Professional Installation

Our specialized crew executes the build, from the initial dig to the final tiling, ensuring every technical standard is met for a long-lasting finish.

Regulations and Permits in Alcalalí

Navigating the legal landscape is the most critical part of any construction project in the Marina Alta. In Alcalalí, the installation of a swimming pool is governed by the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and specific local ordinances. It is important to distinguish between the types of permits required. Generally, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works License) is mandatory for a new swimming pool because it involves structural excavation and affects the footprint of the plot. This requires a technical project signed by an architect and approved by the Ayuntamiento de Alcalalí.

Beyond the structural build, we ensure all peripheral installations, such as pool covers or sun protection structures, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. Furthermore, the municipality has specific rules regarding the distance the pool must be from the boundary walls of your neighbors, especially in densified areas like La Solana Garden. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your pool is 100% legal, avoiding future fines or issues when you eventually decide to sell your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a swimming pool cost in Alcalalí?
As mentioned, the price usually falls between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. The final figure depends heavily on the "vaso" (pool shell) material—whether it is pre-fabricated polyester or reinforced concrete (gunite)—and the complexity of the excavation. In Alcalalí, some plots in the higher urbanisations have rocky terrain which can slightly increase the cost of the initial dig compared to flatter valley plots.
Do I need a licence for a pool in Alcalalí?
Yes, absolutely. You cannot legally build a permanent swimming pool in Alcalalí without a "Licencia de Obra Mayor". This process involves submitting a project to the Town Hall and paying the corresponding construction taxes (ICIO). Operating without a license can lead to heavy fines and a "demolition order" for the works. We assist in coordinating with the architect to make this process as smooth as possible for English-speaking residents.
How long does the installation take?
The physical construction of a gunite pool typically takes between 4 to 6 weeks once the permits are granted. However, the administrative phase at the Alcalalí Town Hall can take several months depending on their current backlog. We always recommend starting the planning process in autumn or winter so your swimming pool is ready for the first heatwaves of June.
Do you cover all areas of Alcalalí?
Yes, we provide full service across the entire municipality. This includes the main village center, the outlying districts like Llosa de Camacho, and all the major urbanisations such as Cumbres de Alcalalí, La Solana Garden, and Benarrosa. We are very familiar with the access routes for heavy machinery in these specific neighborhoods.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers the structural integrity of the pool shell for 10 years. Additionally, the filtration equipment, pumps, and salt chlorinators are covered by the manufacturer's warranties, usually ranging from 2 to 3 years. Our goal is to provide peace of mind to the international community living in the Jalón Valley.
Can you install a salt-water system instead of chlorine?
Yes, this is actually our most requested feature in the Marina Alta. Salt-water electrolysis is much gentler on the skin and eyes, which is a significant benefit given how much time residents spend in the water during the long Alcalalí summers. It also requires less chemical maintenance than traditional chlorine tablets.
Is it possible to build on a sloped plot in Cumbres de Alcalalí?
It is certainly possible, though it requires a more robust engineering approach. In areas with significant gradients, we often build "infinity" edges or use reinforced retaining walls to level the pool area. While this adds to the initial investment, it results in some of the most spectacular views over the Jalón Valley vineyards.
