Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Guardamar del Segura, you have come to the right place. Living here in the heart of the Vega Baja del Segura comarca offers a privileged lifestyle, but the local environment presents specific challenges that only a specialist can navigate. With a population of approximately 18,063 residents, Guardamar is a vibrant coastal hub where salt exposure from the Mediterranean and the nearby salt lakes is a constant factor. Whether you reside in the tranquil pine-side villas of Buenavista, the established streets of Las Viñas, the modern developments in El Raso, or near the dunes of Guardamar Playa and Moncayo, your outdoor installation must be built to withstand high salinity and humidity. My role is to ensure that your investment is durable and aesthetically perfect. To give you a realistic starting point, in Guardamar del Segura a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, soil type, and chosen finishes. We pride ourselves on delivering bespoke solutions that respect the unique coastal landscape of Alicante while providing a private oasis for your family to enjoy the 300 days of sunshine we are blessed with.

Regulations and Permits in Guardamar del Segura

Navigating the legal landscape is the most critical step before the first spade hits the ground. In Guardamar del Segura, all outdoor structures and pool installations are governed by the local Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) and specific municipal ordinances. It is vital to understand that a swimming pool is not considered a simple "obra menor" (minor work) in most cases; because it affects the structure of the land and involves significant plumbing and electrical installations, the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) usually requires a "licencia de obra mayor" (major works permit) accompanied by a technical project signed by an architect or engineer.

Furthermore, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for any accompanying solar protection or pergolas, ensuring wind resistance and safety in our coastal climate. The municipal regulations also dictate "retranqueos" (setbacks), which are the minimum distances the pool must be from your neighbour's boundary and the public street. In coastal zones like Guardamar Playa, additional restrictions from the "Ley de Costas" may apply if your property is within the protection servitude area. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your pool is 100% legal, avoiding future fines or issues when you decide to sell your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Guardamar del Segura?
The investment for a swimming pool in this area generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This price includes professional local labour, high-quality filtration systems, and materials designed to resist the high salinity of the Vega Baja. The final cost depends heavily on whether you choose a pre-fabricated polyester shell or a bespoke reinforced concrete (gunite) pool with tile finishing, as well as the ease of access for machinery to your garden.
Do I need a licence for a swimming pool in Guardamar?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence from the Guardamar del Segura Town Hall. Attempting to build without one can lead to heavy fines and a forced demolition order. For a standard swimming pool, the authorities require a technical project drafted by a qualified professional. We assist our clients in coordinating this process to ensure that the project complies with the local PGOU and setback regulations.
How long does the installation take?
Once the municipal permit is granted, the physical construction typically takes between 3 to 6 weeks. Reinforced concrete pools require a curing period for the shell before tiling can begin, which is essential for structural integrity. However, the administrative process for the licence can take several months depending on the Town Hall’s current workload, so we always recommend planning your project well in advance of the summer season.
Do you cover all areas of Guardamar del Segura?
Yes, we provide full service across the entire municipality. This includes the urban centre, the coastal frontline near Guardamar Playa, the residential areas of Las Viñas and Moncayo, and the popular inland urbanisations like El Raso and Buenavista. We are familiar with the different soil compositions in these areas, from the sandy foundations near the dunes to the more compact clay soils further inland.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers the structural integrity of the pool shell for 10 years. Additionally, the internal equipment such as pumps, filters, and salt chlorinators are covered by the manufacturers' warranties, typically ranging from 2 to 5 years. Because we use materials that meet the UNE-EN standards, we stand behind the durability of our work even in the challenging, salty Mediterranean environment.
Can I have a salt water system in Guardamar?
Actually, salt water chlorination is our most recommended system for Guardamar residents. Since the air already has a high salt content, these systems are very efficient here. They are gentler on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine, and they require less chemical maintenance. It is a perfect fit for the coastal lifestyle of the Alicante province.
How do you handle the salt exposure for pool equipment?
We specifically select "Marine Grade" or high-durability components for all our Guardamar projects. This includes using high-quality stainless steel (AISI-316) for ladders and handrails, which resists corrosion significantly better than standard steel. We also ensure that all electrical components are housed in IP-rated protective casings to prevent the salty sea breeze from damaging the sensitive internal circuitry of your pool's pump and automation systems.
