I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator at TuExterior, and for over a decade, I have been helping international residents transform their Mediterranean terraces and gardens into true sanctuaries. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Valle de Alcalá, you have come to the right place. This stunning corner of the Marina Alta, comprising the villages of Alcalà de la Jovada and Beniaia, offers a unique inland climate that is significantly cooler in winter and drier in summer than the coastal towns of Denia or Jávea. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 174 residents, the peace here is unparalleled, but finding reliable contractors who understand the local terrain—from the rocky outcrops of La Roca to the historic outskirts of L'Atzuvieta—can be a challenge. We specialise in navigating the specific logistics of these mountain roads and the limestone soil common in this valley. Regarding investment, in Valle de Alcalá a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on whether you opt for a prefabricated shell or a custom-built reinforced concrete structure designed to withstand the thermal shifts of the inland mountains.

How we work

Step 1: Contact and initial consultation Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision; we will assess your location in the valley and provide preliminary advice on the best pool type for your plot.

Step 2: Site visit and measuring I will personally visit your property in Beniaia or Alcalà de la Jovada to take precise measurements, check soil stability, and evaluate access for heavy machinery or cranes.

Step 3: Free quote and design proposal We provide a detailed, transparent breakdown of costs, including excavation, filtration systems, and finishing materials, ensuring there are no hidden surprises during the build.

Step 4: Professional installation and handover Our specialist teams carry out the construction or installation with minimal disruption, followed by a full briefing on maintenance before you take your first dip.

Regulations and Permits in Valle de Alcalá

Navigating the bureaucracy of the Marina Alta requires local knowledge. In Valle de Alcalá, the primary regulatory framework is the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) and the specific municipal ordinances issued by the Ayuntamiento located in Alcalà de la Jovada. For most swimming pool projects, you will need to apply for a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works Permit) because it involves structural excavation and potentially affects the water table or land classification, especially in protected rural areas near Benialí.

Furthermore, we ensure all our installations comply with the necessary safety and quality standards. For example, if your project includes integrated sun shading or automated covers, we adhere strictly to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which governs the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. We also manage the "Proyecto Técnico" signed by an architect or technical engineer, which is a mandatory requirement for the town hall to approve your pool. Failure to secure these permits can lead to significant fines and issues when eventually selling your property, so we handle the technical documentation to ensure your peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Valle de Alcalá?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. A standard 6x3 metre glass fibre pool at the lower end of the scale is often more affordable and faster to install, while a bespoke 8x4 metre gunite (sprayed concrete) pool with tile finishes and a salt chlorination system will sit at the higher end. These prices include the necessary local labour, which is specialised in handling the often rocky and sloped terrain of the valley.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, absolutely. Installing a swimming pool is considered a permanent structural change to the property. You will need a "Licencia de Obra" from the Valle de Alcalá Town Hall. This requires a technical project drafted by a registered professional. We work closely with local architects who are familiar with the specific requirements of the Marina Alta to ensure your application is processed as smoothly as possible.
How long does it take?
The physical construction of a concrete pool usually takes between 3 to 5 weeks, whereas a prefabricated pool can be installed in less than 10 days once the hole is excavated. However, the administrative part—waiting for the town hall to grant the building permit—can take anywhere from 2 to 5 months depending on the current workload of the municipal technician. We recommend starting the paperwork in autumn to have the pool ready for the following summer.
Do you cover Valle de Alcalá?
Yes, we provide full service to both Alcalà de la Jovada and Beniaia, as well as the surrounding rural areas like L'Atzuvieta and La Roca. Despite the winding mountain roads of the Ebo and Gallinera passes, our logistics team is equipped to transport materials and machinery to these inland locations without issue.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty on the watertightness of the pool shell for concrete builds. The filtration pumps, LED lighting, and salt systems carry a standard 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Additionally, our installation work is covered by a 1-year guarantee to ensure that any settling of the surrounding terrace or coping stones is addressed.
Can you install a pool on a sloped plot?
Many properties in the Valle de Alcalá are built on terraced land. We specialise in "vanishing edge" or infinity pools that utilise the natural slope, or we can build reinforced retaining walls to create a level pool deck. This is a common requirement in this mountainous region and is factored into our initial site visit and quote.
Is salt water better for the inland climate?
In the dry, hot summers of the Marina Alta, salt chlorination is highly recommended. It is gentler on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine tablets and requires less frequent chemical balancing. Given that the water in this region can be quite "hard" (high lime content), we also recommend installing a pH regulator to keep the water crystal clear and protect your equipment from limescale buildup.
