Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a high-quality swimming pool in Relleu, you have come to the right place. Nestled in the heart of the Marina Baixa comarca, Relleu offers a unique inland climate that is significantly drier and hotter during the summer months than the coastal towns of Benidorm or Villajoyosa. With a population of approximately 1,288 residents, this village has become a sanctuary for English-speaking expats seeking tranquility in areas like the Muscaret urbanisation or the modern developments of Mirador de Relleu and Casas Mediterráneas. Whether you own a traditional finca near El Teularet or a contemporary villa in Camporrosso, the intense sun here makes a private pool more than a luxury—it is a necessity for year-round comfort. At TuExterior, we understand the specific geological challenges of the local terrain, from rocky soil to sloping plots. Regarding investment, in Relleu a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, materials, and specific site access requirements of your property.

Regulations and Permits in Relleu

Navigating the administrative landscape in the Valencian Community is essential for a stress-free project. In Relleu, the construction of a swimming pool is governed by the local Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU). Generally, any pool construction requires a municipal building permit. For smaller, prefabricated or surface-level pools, you might only need an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) notification, which is a faster process. However, for most permanent, excavated swimming pools, the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Relleu) requires an "Obra Mayor" (Major Works) licence. This involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect or technical engineer and paying the corresponding municipal taxes (ICIO).

Beyond the structural permits, we also strictly adhere to safety and quality standards. For any integrated sunshades or pergolas surrounding your pool area, we follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. Furthermore, we ensure that your pool's filtration and water treatment systems comply with regional health regulations (Decree 80/2010 of the Generalitat Valenciana), which sets the sanitary standards for the design and maintenance of swimming pools. We can assist you in gathering the necessary documentation to ensure your pool is fully legal and registered in the Catastro.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Relleu?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. A standard 6x3 metre reinforced polyester pool is at the lower end of the scale, while larger, bespoke concrete pools with premium tiling, heating systems, or automatic covers will reach the higher end. Factors such as the hardness of the Relleu rock during excavation and the ease of access for heavy machinery like cranes also influence the final price.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a licence from the Relleu Town Hall. Building without one can lead to heavy fines and legal issues when you eventually try to sell your property. We recommend applying for an "Obra Mayor" for permanent structures. This process requires a project drafted by a qualified technician, which we can help coordinate to ensure your pool is 100% legal from day one.
How long does it take?
For a prefabricated pool, the physical installation can often be completed in 7 to 10 days once the excavation is done. However, the administrative part—waiting for the municipal licence in the Marina Baixa—can take anywhere from 2 to 5 months depending on the Town Hall's current workload. We always advise starting the paperwork in the autumn to have the pool ready for the following summer.
Do you cover Relleu?
Yes, Relleu is one of our primary service areas. We regularly work in the village centre as well as the outlying urbanisations such as Muscaret, Camporrosso, and the rural finca areas near the Amadorio reservoir. Being local to the Alicante province allows us to transport materials and machinery to Relleu quickly and efficiently, keeping logistics costs down for our clients.
What warranty?
We provide a comprehensive warranty package for your peace of mind. Typically, this includes a 10-year structural warranty against leaks or cracks in the pool shell or basin. Additionally, the filtration pumps, salt chlorinators, and lighting systems come with their respective manufacturer warranties, usually spanning 2 to 3 years. We only use trusted European brands to ensure long-term reliability in the Spanish heat.
Can you install a pool on a sloped plot in Muscaret?
Yes, many properties in the Muscaret and Mirador de Relleu areas are built on hillsides. We specialize in "half-in, half-out" installations or building retaining walls to create a level terrace for the pool. While this adds to the initial excavation and structural cost, it results in spectacular infinity-edge effects that take full advantage of the mountain views Relleu is famous for.
Is salt water better than chlorine for the Relleu climate?
We highly recommend salt electrolysis systems for residents in Relleu. Because the summer temperatures are consistently high, traditional chlorine tablets can dissipate quickly and cause skin or eye irritation. Salt water systems provide a more stable, automated disinfection process that is gentler on the skin and requires less frequent manual chemical handling, which is ideal for holiday homeowners.
