Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build or renovate a swimming pool in Tárbena, you have come to the right place. Living in the heart of the Marina Baixa, we understand that this mountain village offers a unique lifestyle, but its inland climate—with hot summers and surprisingly crisp winters—requires a specific approach to outdoor construction. Whether your property is located in the peaceful urbanisations of Bixauca or Es Tossalet, or perhaps nestled in the rural beauty of Garx, Sacos, or Binarreal, our team is equipped to handle the logistical challenges of Tárbena’s winding roads and terraced terrain. With a local population of approximately 662 residents, we pride ourselves on providing a personalised service that respects the traditional aesthetic of the village while incorporating modern technology. Regarding investment, in Tárbena a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the size, slope of the plot, and chosen finishes. We are here to transform your garden into a private oasis that complements the stunning views of the Sierra de Bernia.

Regulations and Permits in Tárbena

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of building a swimming pool in the Marina Baixa. In Tárbena, all outdoor installations must comply with both national safety standards and local municipal ordinances. Specifically, for any accompanying structures like pergolas or pool enclosures, we adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety of solar protection systems.

Regarding the pool itself, the Tárbena Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) manages the building permits through their local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). Generally, a pool is considered an "Obra Mayor" (Major Work) because it involves structural changes and excavation. This requires a technical project signed by an architect and the payment of municipal taxes (ICIO). If you are simply renovating the lining or the surrounding terrace, it may be classified as an "Obra Menor" (Minor Work), which involves a simpler notification process. We assist our clients in gathering the necessary documentation to ensure your project is 100% legal, avoiding potential fines and ensuring the value of your property is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Tárbena?
The cost of a swimming pool in Tárbena generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on several factors: the type of pool (prefabricated polyester vs. reinforced concrete), the difficulty of the excavation in the rocky terrain of the Marina Baixa, and the quality of the filtration equipment. If your property is in a remote area like Sacos or Garx, logistics and water transport might also influence the final price, but we always provide a fixed quote after the site visit.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence to build a swimming pool in Tárbena. For new builds, an "Obra Mayor" licence is required, which involves submitting a technical project to the Town Hall. This ensures the pool meets safety distances from boundaries and respects the local urban planning rules. Operating without a licence can lead to heavy fines and orders to demolish the work, so we highly recommend doing things correctly from the start.
How long does it take?
A standard swimming pool project usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks to complete once the permits are granted. The excavation and shell construction take about two weeks, followed by the curing process for concrete, tiling, and the installation of the pump system. However, the administrative phase—waiting for the Town Hall to approve the licence—can take several months depending on their current workload, so it is best to start the planning process in autumn or winter.
Do you cover Tárbena?
Yes, we fully cover the entire municipality of Tárbena, including the village core and all surrounding rural areas and urbanisations such as Bixauca, Es Tossalet, and Binarreal. We are accustomed to the narrow streets and mountainous access routes typical of this part of Alicante, and we have the appropriate machinery to work in these specific conditions.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty on all our installations. This typically includes a 10-year structural guarantee against leaks or cracks in the pool shell and a 2-year warranty on the filtration equipment, pumps, and lighting systems. We use high-quality materials designed to withstand the temperature fluctuations of the inland Marina Baixa climate, ensuring your investment lasts for decades.
Can you build on a sloped plot?
Building on sloped terrain is very common in Tárbena. We specialise in "infinity" styles or semi-raised pools that use the natural incline of the land to provide better views of the mountains. While this may require additional structural reinforcement or retaining walls, it often results in a more spectacular and integrated design than a standard flat-ground pool.
What maintenance is required for the inland climate?
Given that Tárbena can experience freezing temperatures in winter and intense heat in summer, we recommend installing a salt chlorination system which is easier on the skin and more stable during temperature spikes. We also suggest using a thermal cover during the winter months to protect the water and the structure from frost, and to reduce evaporation during the dry summer months common in the Valencian interior.
