Hello, I’m Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to enhance your Mediterranean lifestyle with a custom swimming pool in Benamara, you have come to the right place. Nestled within the Costa del Sol Occidental, Benamara is a unique enclave of approximately 1,200 residents known for its lush pine forests and proximity to the sea. Whether you live in the iconic Benamara Dos Hermanas, the elegant Hacienda del Sol, or near the relaxed vibes of Salduna Beach, we understand the specific challenges of this coastal area. The salt exposure from the Mediterranean can be harsh on materials, requiring specific finishes that withstand the maritime environment. From the established gardens of El Presidente to the more traditional streets of Barrio de El Pilar, we specialise in creating aquatic spaces that blend seamlessly with the local architecture. To give you a starting point, in Benamara a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and chosen filtration technology. We pride ourselves on delivering durable, beautiful pools that become the heart of your home.

Regulations and permits in Benamara

Navigating the legal landscape for a swimming pool in Benamara requires a clear understanding of both regional and local legislation. As part of the Estepona municipality, all projects must comply with the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of Estepona and the newer LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía) regulations. These laws dictate how much of your plot can be occupied and ensure that the aesthetic of the "Garden City" is maintained.

Specifically, because Benamara is a coastal area, we must pay strict attention to coastal protection setbacks. If your property is within the "zona de servidumbre de protección," the requirements are significantly more stringent. For most residential pools, we process an "Obra Menor" permit through the Estepona Town Hall, which involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect. If the pool requires a significant change to the structure of the land or involves large-scale excavation near public boundaries, a full "Licencia de Obra" may be required. Furthermore, for any associated sunshades or pergolas, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard to ensure safety against wind loads, which is crucial given the afternoon breezes we experience here on the coast. We handle the technical documentation so you don't have to worry about the bureaucracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Benamara?
The final price depends on several factors, including the type of soil—which can be sandy or rocky in this part of the Costa del Sol—and the chosen finish. Generally, a standard family pool in areas like Hacienda del Sol or El Presidente ranges from 8,000 to 25,000 euros. This includes the excavation, the shell construction, high-quality tiling, and the filtration system. We always provide a fixed quote after a site visit to avoid any hidden surprises during the construction phase.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, any permanent swimming pool construction in Benamara requires a municipal permit from the Estepona Town Hall. Depending on the size and location of your plot, this is usually processed as a "Declaración Responsable" or an "Obra Menor." We manage the entire application process, ensuring that the project respects the local PGOU and the setbacks required by coastal regulations. Building without a licence can lead to heavy fines and issues when trying to sell your property in the future.
How long does it take?
From the moment the permit is granted, the physical construction of a reinforced concrete or "gunitado" pool typically takes between 3 to 5 weeks. However, the administrative process for the licence in Estepona can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. We recommend starting the planning phase in autumn or winter so that your pool is fully commissioned and ready for the first heatwave of the Mediterranean summer.
Do you cover Benamara?
Absolutely. Benamara is one of our primary service areas. We are very familiar with the specific layouts of urbanisations like Benamara Dos Hermanas and the coastal stretch near Salduna. Our teams are local to the Málaga province, meaning we can provide rapid response times for both the initial installation and any subsequent maintenance or after-sales support you might need.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty on the pool shell to give you total peace of mind against leaks or cracks. Additionally, all the technical equipment—such as the Hayward or AstralPool pumps and salt chlorinators we typically install—comes with a standard 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. We only use materials tested for the high salinity and humidity levels found in the Benamara coastal environment.
Can I install a salt-water system?
Yes, in fact, we highly recommend salt-water chlorination for homes in Benamara. It is much gentler on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine, and it is more sustainable for the local environment. Given our proximity to the sea, salt systems feel more natural and require less chemical handling. We can integrate these systems into new builds or retrofit them into existing pools during a renovation.
What about the pine needles from the local trees?
Benamara is famous for its beautiful pine groves, but for pool owners, this means dealing with falling needles. We suggest installing an oversized filtration basket and, ideally, an automatic pool cover. A cover not only keeps the needles out of the water, reducing maintenance time, but also acts as a safety barrier and helps retain heat during the cooler spring nights.
