Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build a swimming pool in Alhama de Murcia, you have come to the right place to turn your garden into a private oasis. Living in the Bajo Guadalentín comarca means enjoying a privileged inland climate with long, hot summers, but it also means dealing with intense heat that makes a cooling dip essential. With a population of approximately 23,578 residents, Alhama is a vibrant hub where we frequently work, from the historic town centre to the beautiful surrounding districts like El Berro, Gebas, La Costera, and Las Cañadas. We also specialise in serving the international community in major urbanisations such as Condado de Alhama, ensuring every project meets the highest standards. Regarding investment, in Alhama de Murcia a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on dimensions and finishes. My goal is to guide you through the technicalities of the local terrain to ensure your project is durable, beautiful, and perfectly integrated into the Murcian landscape.

How we work

Step 1: Contact and Initial Consultation Reach out to us via phone or our web form to discuss your vision, preferred pool style, and specific needs for your property in Alhama.

Step 2: Site Visit and Measuring I will personally visit your home, whether in the town or the outskirts, to assess the ground conditions, take precise measurements, and check access for machinery.

Step 3: Free Detailed Quote We provide a transparent, itemised proposal including all materials and labour costs, with no hidden surprises, tailored to the specific requirements of the Bajo Guadalentín region.

Step 4: Professional Installation and Handover Our expert team carries out the construction or installation, managing everything from excavation to the final filling, ensuring your new pool is ready for the Mediterranean sun.

Regulations and Permits in Alhama de Murcia

Navigating the legal framework is a crucial part of my job at TuExterior to ensure your project is fully compliant. All our installations, particularly those involving shading or structural covers, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard. Locally, the construction of a swimming pool is governed by the municipal PGOU (General Plan of Urban Planning) of Alhama de Murcia and the regional LOTUS (Law of Territory and Urbanism of the Region of Murcia).

In Alhama de Murcia, the type of permit required depends on the complexity of the work. For simple refurbishments or minor repairs, a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) is usually sufficient, allowing work to begin once the paperwork is filed and fees are paid. However, for the construction of a new swimming pool or significant structural changes, the law requires a "Licencia Urbanística Previa" (Prior Urban Planning Licence). This involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect or engineer to the Town Hall. We handle the communication with the local planning office to ensure your pool meets setback requirements from boundaries and safety regulations, preventing any future administrative issues or fines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Alhama de Murcia?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on whether you choose a prefabricated polyester shell or a bespoke "obra" (reinforced concrete) pool. Factors such as the ease of access for excavators in areas like El Berro or the specific soil composition in the Bajo Guadalentín valley will also influence the final price. We always provide a fixed quote after a site visit to ensure accuracy.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you always need a legal permit to build or install a swimming pool in Alhama de Murcia. Under the regional LOTUS regulations, new pools require a full municipal building licence (obra mayor), which involves a technical project. For smaller renovations or lining replacements, a "declaración responsable" for minor works (obra menor) is typically the standard procedure. We assist you in gathering the necessary documentation for the Alhama Town Hall.
How long does it take?
A standard installation usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks once the permits are granted. Prefabricated pools are much faster, often installed in less than 10 days, while custom concrete pools require more time for the structure to cure properly. We plan our schedules carefully to avoid the peak summer heat, ensuring the materials set correctly and the project stays on track.
Do you cover Alhama de Murcia?
Absolutely. We cover the entire municipality, including the main town and all its surrounding districts like La Costera, Las Cañadas, and the mountain areas of Gebas and El Berro. We are also very active in the Condado de Alhama resort, where we understand the specific community rules and aesthetic requirements for private villas.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the technical installation of the filtration and pumping systems. Typically, our concrete structures come with a 10-year watertightness guarantee, while the equipment carries the standard manufacturer's warranty. My role as coordinator is to ensure that every component used is of premium quality to withstand the intense Murcian sun.
Can you install salt-water systems in Alhama?
Yes, salt-water chlorination is our most requested feature in the Alhama area. It is much gentler on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine, which is a significant benefit given the high temperatures and frequent use pools get in this part of Spain. We can retro-fit these systems to existing pools or include them in your new build project.
Is the soil in Alhama de Murcia suitable for any pool?
Most of the Bajo Guadalentín area has stable ground, but some zones near the mountains or in the agricultural plains may have expansive clays or rocky patches. This is why our initial site visit is so important. We assess the terrain to determine if extra reinforcement or specific drainage is needed to prevent the pool from shifting or cracking over time due to ground movement.
