Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install or renovate a swimming pool in Els Poblets, you have come to the right place. Living here in the Marina Alta comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but the coastal environment presents specific challenges for outdoor installations. With a population of approximately 2,763 residents, this charming village is known for its flat terrain and proximity to the sea, which means we must account for significant salt exposure and humidity when choosing materials. Whether your property is located in the quiet streets of the village centre or within popular urbanisations like Barranquets, Xironets, or the coastal areas of Sorts de la Mar, we understand the local soil conditions perfectly. In Els Poblets a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and the technical specifications required for our Mediterranean climate. My goal is to ensure that your investment adds value to your home in areas like Revoltes or Traveses while providing a durable oasis for those long Valencian summers. We focus on high-quality finishes that resist the corrosive sea air, ensuring your leisure space remains pristine for years to come.

Regulations and Permits in Els Poblets

Navigating the legal landscape for home improvements in the Marina Alta requires local expertise. In Els Poblets, any structural work related to a swimming pool or its surrounding enclosures must comply with the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). This document dictates the setbacks from neighbouring boundaries and the percentage of the plot that can be occupied by permanent structures.

For most pool installations, you will need to apply for a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works Licence) at the Ayuntamiento de Els Poblets, as it involves excavation and structural changes. However, smaller aesthetic renovations or the installation of certain removable covers might fall under "Obra Menor" (Minor Works), which involves a simpler notification process and lower fees. Additionally, for any sun protection or shading structures installed near the pool area, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which governs the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. It is crucial to ensure that all drainage systems comply with local environmental laws to prevent runoff issues, especially in low-lying areas near the Girona river or the coastline where the water table can be high. We handle the technical documentation required by the municipal architects to ensure your project is fully legal and protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Els Poblets?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on factors such as the size of the basin, the type of filtration system—such as salt chlorination which is very popular here—and the ease of access for heavy machinery in urbanisations like Las Marinas or the village interior. High-end finishes or integrated heating will naturally sit at the higher end of this scale.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, a municipal licence is mandatory for building a swimming pool in Els Poblets. For a new build, you must submit a technical project signed by an architect to the Town Hall for a Major Works Licence. For simple lining repairs or tile replacement, a Minor Works permit is usually sufficient. We can assist you in gathering the necessary documentation to streamline this process with the local authorities.
How long does it take?
A standard pool installation typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks from the moment the excavation begins. However, the administrative phase for obtaining the licence from the Els Poblets Ayuntamiento can take an additional 1 to 3 months depending on their current workload. We recommend starting the planning process in autumn or winter to ensure your pool is ready for the summer season.
Do you cover Els Poblets?
Absolutely. We operate throughout the entire municipality, including the urban areas of Barranquets, Xironets, Revoltes, Traveses, and the beachfront properties at Sorts de la Mar. Being local to the Marina Alta allows us to provide quick site visits and efficient project management without the delays associated with long-distance contractors.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty on the pool shell to protect against leaks or cracks. Additionally, all mechanical components like pumps and filters come with the standard manufacturer's warranty, usually 2 to 3 years. Our installations also comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standards for any associated shading or covering structures, ensuring long-term safety and durability.
Can you install a salt water system?
Yes, we highly recommend salt water chlorination for homes in Els Poblets. Given our proximity to the sea, salt systems are more gentle on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine, and they are easier to maintain in our warm Mediterranean climate. They are particularly effective for residents who may not be at the property year-round, as the system can be more easily automated.
How do you handle the high salt exposure in the area?
Living near the coast means we must use marine-grade materials. For pool surrounds, we recommend non-porous tiles or treated stone that won't degrade when exposed to salt spray. We also ensure that all metal fixtures, such as ladders or handrails, are made of high-quality AISI-316 stainless steel to prevent the rapid corrosion that often affects cheaper materials in the Marina Alta.
