Swimming Pools in Benidorm

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Benidorm, you have come to the right place. Benidorm is the heart of the Marina Baixa comarca, a vibrant city with a population of approximately 72,342 residents. Whether you live in the iconic skyscrapers of Playa de Levante, the quieter residential streets of Playa de Poniente, or the exclusive villas of Rincón de Loix, we understand the unique challenges of this coastal environment. Being right on the Mediterranean means dealing with constant salt exposure and high humidity, which requires specific materials to ensure longevity. From the heights of Sierra Helada to the family-friendly atmosphere of La Cala, we help English-speaking residents navigate the complexities of local construction. It is important to have a realistic budget from the start: in Benidorm a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour. My goal is to ensure your outdoor space becomes a private oasis that withstands the unique microclimate of our famous "Manhattan of Spain."

Regulations and Permits in Benidorm

Navigating the legal landscape for a swimming pool in Benidorm requires a clear understanding of both national standards and local municipal ordinances. At TuExterior, we ensure all our projects comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which, while primarily focused on performance requirements for external blinds and awnings, often intersects with the safety and structural integrity of outdoor enclosures and shaded pool areas.

More specifically, any project in Benidorm must adhere to the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of the Ayuntamiento de Benidorm. The type of permit required depends heavily on the scale of the work. For minor repairs or aesthetic updates, an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Work) notification is usually sufficient. However, for the construction of a new swimming pool, you must apply for a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' (Major Work License). This process involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect or engineer. This project must respect the 'retranqueos' (setback distances from property boundaries) and the maximum occupation limits of your plot as defined by the PGOU. Failure to secure these permits can lead to significant fines and legal complications, especially in a city as strictly regulated as Benidorm. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your pool is 100% legal.
