Swimming Pools in El Candado

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to enhance your property with a high-quality swimming pool in El Candado, you have come to the right place. Living in this exclusive enclave of Malaga capital, nestled between the Puerto Deportivo El Candado and the serene Playa del Candado, offers a unique lifestyle that deserves a bespoke outdoor space. Whether your villa is located near the El Candado Club de Golf or closer to the rising hills of Jarazmín, we understand the specific environmental challenges of this coastal area. With a local population of approximately 1,200 residents, El Candado is known for its microclimate, but the constant salt exposure from the Mediterranean requires materials of the highest durability. At TuExterior, we specialise in installations that withstand the saline breeze and intense Andalusian sun. To give you a realistic starting point, in El Candado a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the chosen system and terrain complexity. My goal is to ensure your project integrates seamlessly with the prestigious surroundings of our comarca.

Regulations and Permits in El Candado

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor installations in Malaga capital requires local expertise. Any swimming pool project in El Candado must comply with the Malaga PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana), which dictates the land use and building parameters for the municipality. Because El Candado is a coastal urbanisation, we must be particularly mindful of the Ley de Costas (Coastal Law) and specific setbacks required for properties located in the protection zone near the shoreline.

For most pool installations, a "Comunicación Previa" or an "Obra Menor" permit is required from the Malaga City Council (Ayuntamiento de Málaga). This process involves submitting technical drawings and paying the corresponding municipal taxes (ICIO). If the project involves significant structural changes or large-scale excavation on steep plots—common in the Jarazmín or upper El Candado areas—a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" may be necessary, requiring a project signed by an architect.

Furthermore, for any sun protection or pool enclosures we install, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the performance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. We also take into account the internal statutes of the El Candado Homeowners Association (Comunidad de Propietarios), which may have specific aesthetic guidelines to maintain the architectural harmony of the urbanisation. Our team handles the technical documentation to ensure your project is 100% legal and compliant with both local and national standards.
