Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a high-quality swimming pool in La Romana, you have come to the right place to turn your inland retreat into a private oasis. Located in the heart of the Vinalopó Mitjà comarca, La Romana is a unique setting where the rugged beauty of the mountains meets a peaceful rural lifestyle. With a population of approximately 2,632 residents, this village offers a sense of community that is hard to find elsewhere. However, the inland climate here can be particularly intense; during the long summer months, the dry heat makes having a private cooling spot almost a necessity rather than a luxury. Whether you live in the town centre or in one of the surrounding urbanisations like La Alcaná, Batistes, El Reclot, Boquera, or Juan Blanco, we understand the specific terrain and logistics of this area. Regarding investment, in La Romana a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your project integrates perfectly with the local landscape while providing a durable, refreshing escape for your family.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision, and we will provide an initial consultation to understand your specific needs in the Vinalopó area.

  2. Site Visit & Measuring I will personally visit your property in La Romana to assess the ground conditions, take precise measurements, and check access for machinery and materials.

  3. Free Quote We provide a detailed, transparent proposal including all costs for excavation, materials, and labour, ensuring there are no hidden surprises during the build.

  4. Professional Installation Our expert team carries out the construction and installation with meticulous attention to detail, adhering to all safety standards and leaving your site clean and ready for use.

Regulations and Permits in La Romana

Navigating the legal requirements for a swimming pool in La Romana is a critical step that we manage to ensure your peace of mind. All our installations comply with the national safety and quality standards, specifically the UNE-EN 13561 standard for related outdoor structures like awnings and covers, and general construction safety codes. Locally, the project must adhere to the Ordenanza Municipal and the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of the La Romana Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).

In this municipality, the type of permit required depends largely on the scale of the work. Small repairs or minor aesthetic changes may fall under an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works) notification. However, the construction of a new in-ground swimming pool is classified as an 'Obra Mayor' (Major Works). This requires a technical project signed by an architect or engineer and the payment of the corresponding municipal taxes (ICIO). We work closely with local technicians who understand the specific setbacks and volume restrictions required by the La Romana council, ensuring your pool is 100% legal and avoids future administrative issues or fines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in La Romana?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on several factors: the size of the basin, the type of filtration system (chlorine vs. salt water), the interior finish (liner, tile, or reinforced PVC), and the ease of access for heavy machinery. In areas like El Reclot or La Alcaná, the rocky nature of the soil can sometimes influence excavation costs, which we always clarify after the initial site visit.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence from the La Romana Ayuntamiento. For a new pool, this is typically a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor'. You will need a technical project and must comply with local regulations regarding the distance from the pool to your neighbour's boundary and the total percentage of built land on your plot. We can assist you in gathering the necessary documentation to streamline this process.
How long does it take?
From the moment the excavation starts, a standard pool installation usually takes between 3 to 5 weeks to complete. However, the administrative phase—obtaining the municipal permit in La Romana—can take several weeks or even a few months depending on the town hall's current workload. We recommend starting the planning process in autumn or winter to ensure your pool is ready for the first heatwave of the summer.
Do you cover La Romana?
Yes, we provide full service across the entire municipality of La Romana and the wider Vinalopó Mitjà region. This includes the main village and all outlying urbanisations and rural areas such as Batistes, Boquera, and Juan Blanco. Being local allows us to manage logistics efficiently and respond quickly to any site requirements.
What warranty?
We provide a comprehensive warranty on all our installations. This typically includes a 10-year structural warranty against leaks or cracks in the pool shell and a 2-year warranty on the filtration equipment, pumps, and lighting systems. We only use high-quality materials that are tested to withstand the specific temperature fluctuations of the Alicante inland climate.
Can you install salt water systems in La Romana?
Absolutely. In fact, salt water chlorination is becoming the preferred choice for many residents in La Romana. It is gentler on the skin and eyes, which is a significant advantage given how much time you will spend in the water during the hot summer months. While the initial investment is slightly higher than traditional chlorine, the long-term maintenance is often simpler and more cost-effective.
Is my garden suitable for a pool?
Most gardens in La Romana are suitable, but the terrain can vary from soft soil to hard limestone. During our site visit, we check for underground utilities, soil stability, and accessibility for the excavator. Even on sloped plots common in the hilly areas of the Vinalopó, we can design terraced solutions or infinity edges that turn a challenging landscape into a stunning architectural feature.
