Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Salinas, you have come to the right place. Living in the Alt Vinalopó comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but the inland climate here can be particularly intense during the summer months. With a population of approximately 1,733 residents, Salinas is a peaceful enclave where outdoor living is paramount. Whether you reside in the established streets of the town center or in surrounding areas like La Molineta, El Puntal, Colonia del Alto Ideal, or the scenic Els Platans, a private pool is not just a luxury—it is a necessity for navigating the high temperatures of the Alicante interior. At TuExterior, we specialise in creating bespoke aquatic spaces that respect the local landscape. It is important to have a clear budget in mind from the start; in Salinas a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour. My goal is to ensure your project is handled with technical precision and local expertise, transforming your garden into a refreshing Mediterranean sanctuary.

Regulations and Permits in Salinas

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any construction project in the Alicante province. In Salinas, the installation of a swimming pool is governed by the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and specific local ordinances. Depending on the size, depth, and location of the pool on your plot, the project may be classified as an "Obra Menor" (Minor Work) or require a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Work Permit). Generally, if the pool involves significant structural changes or large-scale excavation, a full technical project signed by an architect or engineer is mandatory to obtain the municipal license from the Salinas Town Hall.

Furthermore, we ensure that all peripheral installations, such as automated covers or sun protection systems, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. Compliance with these Spanish and European standards is not just about legality; it ensures the longevity of the installation against the gusty winds sometimes experienced in the valley. We handle the technical documentation required by the local authorities to ensure your project begins on a solid legal footing, avoiding potential fines or "expedientes de infracción urbanística" that can arise from unauthorised builds in rural or semi-urban land.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Salinas?
The investment for a swimming pool in Salinas generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on several factors: the type of construction (gunite concrete, prefabricated polyester, or stainless steel), the ease of access for heavy machinery to your plot, and the chosen finishes. In the Alt Vinalopó area, the rocky nature of some terrain can occasionally increase excavation costs, but our quotes always aim to be comprehensive of local labour and high-quality materials.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence from the Salinas Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). For most permanent in-ground pools, you will need to submit a technical project. This process ensures the pool respects the "retranqueos" (minimum distances from your neighbour's boundary) and doesn't exceed the buildable percentage of your land. We can guide you through the application process to ensure your pool is 100% legal.
How long does it take?
A standard concrete pool installation typically takes between 4 to 6 weeks from the moment the first spade hits the ground. However, the administrative phase—obtaining the municipal permits in Salinas—can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the workload of the local planning department. We recommend starting the paperwork in autumn or winter to ensure your pool is ready for the first heatwave of June.
Do you cover Salinas?
Yes, we provide full coverage across the entire municipality of Salinas and the wider Alt Vinalopó region. We are very familiar with the local urbanisations such as La Molineta, El Puntal, and the Colonia del Alto Ideal. Our local presence allows us to manage logistics efficiently and provide a quick response for site visits and after-sales maintenance.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the technical equipment (pumps, filters, and salt chlorinators). Typically, the structure carries a 10-year guarantee against leaks or cracks, while the machinery follows the standard manufacturer warranties, usually 2 to 3 years. We only work with reputable brands to ensure that replacement parts are easily available in the Alicante province.
Can you install a salt-water system in Salinas?
Absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend salt-water electrolysis for pools in Salinas. The inland heat can cause traditional chlorine levels to fluctuate rapidly; salt systems provide more stable disinfection and are much gentler on the skin and eyes. Given the local water hardness in the Alicante interior, we also recommend including an automated pH regulator to keep your water perfectly balanced with minimal effort.
Is it possible to build on sloped plots in the Salinas hills?
Yes, many properties in areas like Els Platans or the outskirts of the town have significant gradients. We specialise in "piscinas de obra" (reinforced concrete) which allow us to create retaining walls or infinity edges that turn a challenging slope into a stunning architectural feature. While sloped plots require more engineering, they often provide the best views of the surrounding mountains and the Salinas salt lake.
