Swimming Pools in Valle de Alcalá

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.
