Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build a swimming pool in Algueña, you have come to the right place. Living in the Vinalopó Mitjà comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but the inland climate here can be intense, with hot, dry summers that practically demand a private oasis in your garden. Algueña is a charming village of approximately 1,328 residents, known for its marble heritage and vineyards. Whether you live in the heart of the village, the Barrio de San José, or have a villa in surrounding areas like La Solana, Cuesta Blanca, El Reclot, or Casas de Juan Blanco, we understand the specific terrain and logistics of this corner of Alicante. My role is to ensure your project integrates perfectly with your property while respecting the local landscape. Regarding the investment, in Algueña a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, materials, and specific site access requirements of your plot.

How we work

  1. Contact: Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your initial ideas, preferred pool style, and specific location in the Algueña area.
  2. Site visit & measuring: I will personally visit your property in La Solana, El Reclot, or the village centre to assess the terrain, access for machinery, and take precise measurements.
  3. Free quote: We provide a detailed, transparent proposal covering excavation, filtration systems, tiling, and finishing, with no hidden costs or surprises.
  4. Installation: Our expert team carries out the construction and installation, managing everything from the initial dig to the final filling and water testing.

Regulations and Permits for Swimming Pools in Algueña

Navigating the legal requirements is a crucial step for any outdoor project in the Alicante province. In Algueña, the construction of a swimming pool is governed by the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and specific local ordinances. Generally, a standard swimming pool requires a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works Licence) because it involves structural excavation and affects the property's footprint. This process requires a technical project signed by an architect and approved by the Ayuntamiento de Algueña. For smaller additions like pool enclosures or pergolas, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for solar protection and safety. If you are in a rural zone like Casas de Juan Blanco, there may be additional environmental or setback requirements compared to the urban Barrio de San José. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your pool is 100% legal, avoiding future fines or issues when selling your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Algueña?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on whether you choose a prefabricated polyester shell or a bespoke "gunite" (sprayed concrete) pool with mosaic tiling. Factors such as the hardness of the ground—common in the Vinalopó Mitjà—and the ease of access for heavy machinery into your garden will also influence the final quote. We provide a fixed price after the site visit.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence from the Algueña Town Hall. Building a pool without one can lead to heavy fines and legal orders to fill the pool back in. For a standard pool, a Major Works Licence is required, involving a project drafted by an architect or engineer. We can assist you in coordinating with local technicians to ensure all paperwork is submitted correctly to the municipal authorities.
How long does it take?
From the moment the first excavator arrives on your plot in Algueña, a standard concrete pool usually takes between 3 to 5 weeks to complete. However, the administrative process for the licence can take several weeks or even months depending on the Town Hall's current workload. We recommend starting the planning process in autumn or winter so your pool is ready for the first heatwave of June.
Do you cover Algueña?
Yes, we provide full service throughout the entire municipality of Algueña. This includes the main village area, the Barrio de San José, and all the outlying rural areas and urbanisations such as La Solana, Cuesta Blanca, El Reclot, and Casas de Juan Blanco. We are very familiar with the local roads and the specific soil types of the Vinalopó region.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers the structural integrity of the pool shell for 10 years. Additionally, the filtration equipment, pumps, and lighting systems are covered by the manufacturer's warranties, typically 2 to 3 years. Our installations are designed to withstand the temperature fluctuations of the inland Alicante climate, ensuring your investment lasts for decades.
Can you install salt water systems in Algueña?
Absolutely. Saltwater chlorination is becoming the most popular choice for our clients in Algueña. It is much gentler on the skin and eyes, which is ideal if you plan on using the pool daily during the long Mediterranean summer. While the initial equipment cost is slightly higher, it reduces the long-term expenditure on chemical products and simplifies maintenance.
What about pool heating for the winter?
Given that Algueña sits at a higher elevation than the coastal towns, the nights can be quite cool even in spring and autumn. We can install heat pumps and thermal covers that extend your swimming season from April through to October. We always recommend energy-efficient systems to keep running costs low while you enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding Sierra del Salitre.
