Swimming Pools in Murla

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how a well-designed swimming pool in Murla can transform a house into a true sanctuary. Nestled in the heart of the Marina Alta comarca, Murla is a gem of the Pop Valley that offers a unique inland climate—hot, dry summers and mild winters that make outdoor living essential. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 574 residents, this village maintains an authentic charm that we strive to respect in every project. Whether your property is located in the established streets of the village center, the scenic Partida Garroferal, or the elevated views of urbanisations like Puerta del Valle and Colina Oeste, our team understands the local terrain. Building here requires a deep knowledge of the limestone soil and the specific architectural aesthetics of the region. To give you a starting point for your budget, in Murla a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the complexity of the excavation and the chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your installation blends perfectly with the rugged beauty of the Comeig mountains while providing a durable, low-maintenance retreat for your family.

Local Regulations and Building Permits in Murla

Navigating the legal landscape is the most critical step before the first spade hits the ground. In Murla, as in the rest of the Alicante province, all outdoor structures and pool installations must adhere to specific technical standards and municipal bylaws. Specifically, for any accompanying shading structures or automated covers, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings.

Regarding the pool itself, the project must comply with the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of Murla. Because Murla is a smaller municipality, the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) is very diligent about land classification, especially in rural areas like Partida Garroferal or protected zones near the mountains. For most standard swimming pools, you will need to apply for an "Obra Mayor" (Major Works) license. This requires a technical project signed by an architect or engineer and approved by the College of Architects (Colegio de Arquitectos). This process ensures that the pool respects the "retranqueos" (minimum distances from neighboring boundaries) and the maximum buildable percentage of your plot. If you are simply renovating an existing pool or adding a small deck, it might fall under an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit, which is faster and less expensive to obtain. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project is 100% legal, avoiding any potential fines from the local authorities.
